Answer:

the quantity supplied is to a change in price.

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price

Elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied/ percentage change in price

Supply is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity supplied.

Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied.

Supply is unit elastic if a small change in price has a proportional equal effect on quantity supplied.

Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $90 per share and the required return on the stock is 8 percent. You also

maks197457 [2]

Answer: $3.46

Explanation:

Given the following :

Current share price (P0) = $90 per share

Required return on stock= 8%

total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield ;

Therefore, Required return on stock= 8% ;

4% capital gain yield + 4% Dividend yield = 8%

Growth rate = 4% = 4/ 100 = 0.04

D1 = D0(1 + g)

D1 = value of next year's Dividend

D0 = current Dividend yield

g = Constant growth rate

D1 = current stock price * g

D1 = 90 * 0.04 = 3.6

D1 = D0(1 + g)

D0 = D1 / (1+g)

D0 = 3.6 / (1+ 0.04)

D0 = 3.6 / 1.04

D0 = $3.46

When a person receives an increase in wealth, what is likely to happen to consumption and saving?

Arturiano [62]

When a person receives an increase in wealth, Consumption increases and saving decreases

Both present and future consumption rises as a consumer's current income does as well. Savings increase because current spending increases but does so at a slower rate than current income growth. Again, both present and future consumption rises when the customer receives an increase in predicted future income.

Savings declines because current consumption rises while current income does not. Current and future consumption both grow when the consumer's wealth increases. Again, because current income has not increased, saving has decreased. These individual actions to adjust one's consumption and saving habits have a cumulative effect on the aggregate amount of desired consumption and saving.

c. Reconciliation of Absorption costing Net Income to variable costing profit

Absorption Costing Net Income $2,710,840 $2,894,800

Fixed Manufacturing Cost in Opening Stock $0 $615,000

Fixed Manufacturing Cost in Closing Stock ($615,000) $0

Variable Costing Net Income $2,095,840 $3,509,800

Explanation:

Part a.

Under Variable Costing, Only Variable Manufacturing Costs are treated as Product costs. Fixed Manufacturing costs and All Non-Manufacturing Costs are treated as period costs.

Part b

Under Absorption Costing, Both Variable Manufacturing Costs and Fixed Manufacturing costs are treated as Product costs. All Non-Manufacturing Costs are treated as period costs.

Part c.

The difference between the Net Income under Absorption Costing and Variable Costing is due to Fixed Manufacturing Costs that are deferred in Inventory. This needs to be reconciled accordingly.
