Danny "Dimes" Donahue is a neighborhood’s 9-year-old entrepreneur. His most recent venture is selling homemade brownies that he

bakes himself. At a price of $2.75 each, he sells 100. At a price of $2.25 each, he sells 300. Instructions: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. a. What is the elasticity of demand? . b. Is demand elastic or inelastic over this price range? . c. If demand had the same elasticity for a price decline from $2.25 to $1.75 as it does for the decline from $2.75 to $2.25, would cutting the price from $2.25 to $1.75 increase or decrease Danny’s total revenue? .

Answer:

To calculate the elasticity of demand, we need to use mid point elasticity theory.

According to mid point theory,

Ed = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]

Where, Ed = Elasticity o demand

Q1 = Initial quantity = 100

Q2 = New Quantity = 300

P1 = Initial price = $2.75

P2 = New price = $2.25

Ed = [(300 - 100) / {(100 + 300) / 2}] / [(2.25 - 2.75) / {(2.75 + 2.25) / 2}]

Ed = - 5.

a. So, the elasticity of demand is - 5 or in absolute term 5.

b. As the value of elasticity is more than 1, that means, the elasticty over the price range in elastic.

c. From theory, we knew that, when the demand is elastic, then a decrease in price causes a increase in total revenue. Because, as the demand elasticity is elastic, so the increase in output is higher than decrease in price.

Total revenue will increase

stellarik [79]

Answer:

current intrinsic value per stock = $26.35

Explanation:

year                      dividend              EPS

0                              0                       $18

1                               0                       $20.88

2                              0                       $24.22

3                              0                       $28.10

4                              0                       $32.59

5                              0                       $37.81

6                              $12.59              $41.97

growth rate up to year 5 = 16%

ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 11%

dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 11% x (1 - 30%) = 7.7%

cost of equity = 24%

horizon value at year 5 = $12.59 / (24% - 7.7%) = $77.24

current intrinsic value per stock = $77.24 / 1.24%⁵ = $26.35

Maximum diversification benefit can be achieved if one were to form a portfolio of two stocks whose returns had a correlation co
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

-1.0

Explanation:

Diversification in a portfolio refers to spreading investments in such a way so as to minimize risk.

The correlation coefficient r between two securities signifies how return from one security is related with another security. For example, two securities of the same sector may move in the same direction or positively correlated as in if price of one rises, the price of other rises too maybe not by the same margin.

In case of a negative correlation, the security returns move in opposite directions i.e the securities are least related to one another.

Maximum diversification is achieved when r is equal to -1 i.e the two stocks move in opposite direction by the same magnitude.
