Answer:

no, revenues would fall because she far fewer cupcakes.

Explanation:

given data

sells Q = 100

cupcakes per day P = $2 each

raising price P' = $2.50

price elasticity of demand e =  2

solution

when here e > 1, price and TR move in opposite direction.

when  price is increase to $2.5,TR falls

when Q falls more than rise in P

so here no, revenues would fall because she far fewer cupcakes.

The quantity demanded x for a product is inversely proportional to the cube of the price p for p > 1. When the price is $10 p
Delvig [45]

Answer:

$6.00

Explanation:

Given data

quantity demanded ( x )  ∝ 1 / p^3       for p > 1

when p = $10/unit , x = 64

initial cost = $140, cost per unit = $4

<u>Determine the price that will yield a maximum profit </u>

x = k/p^3 ----- ( 1 ).  when x = 64 , p = $10 , k = constant

64 = k/10^3

k = 64 * ( 10^3 )

  = 64000

back to equation 1

x = 64000 / p^3

∴ p = 40 / ∛x

next calculate the value of revenue generated

Revenue(Rx) = P(price ) * x ( quantity )

               = 40 / ∛x * x   =  40 x^2/3

next calculate Total cost of product

C(x) = 140 + 4x

Maximum Profit  generated = R(x) - C(x) = 0

                                              = 40x^2/3 - 140 + 4x  = 0

                                              =  40(2/3) x^(2/3 -1) - 0 - 4 = 0

                                            ∴ ∛x = 20/3    ∴     x = (20/3 ) ^3 = 296

profit is maximum at x(quantity demanded ) = 296 units

hence the price that will yield a maximum profit

P = 40 / ∛x

  = ( 40 / (20/3) )  = $6

Last year Lowell Inc. had a total assets turnover of 1.40 and an equity multiplier of 1.75. Its sales were $295,000 and its net
katrin [286]

Answer:

ROE would have changed by 8.52%

Explanation:

First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,

ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity

or

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier

  • Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%

The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.

  • New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
  • The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%

seasonal indices of sales for the black lab ski resort are for 1.20 for january and .80 for december. if december sales for 1998
boyakko [2]

The seasonal sales indexes for the Black Lab ski resort are 1.20 for January and .80 for December. If December sales in 1998 were $5,000, a reasonable estimate of sales in January 1999 is $7,500.

(1.20 * 5000) % .80 = 7,500.

Sales are actions related to selling or the number of products sold in a specific time period. A sale is also defined as the provision of a service for a fee. The seller, or the provider of the products or services, completes a sale in response to an acquisition, appropriation, requisition, or direct interaction with the customer at the point of sale. The item's title (property or ownership) is transferred, and a price is agreed upon. The seller, not the purchaser, normally executes the sale, and it may be done prior to the obligation of payment.

Total amount paid = Face value + accrued interest

= $300,000 + $300,000 × 3% × 3 months ÷ 12 months

= $302,250

hence, the total amount paid is $302,250

Therefore the correct option is d.
