Answer:

0.60

Explanation:

The midpoint formula is used to calculate elasticity by using average percentage in both price and quantity.

The formula is given below:

Percentage change in quantity =<u>  (Q2 -Q1)     </u>   x  100

                                                        (Q2 + Q1) / 2

Percentage change in price = <u> (P2 -P1)     </u>   x  100

                                                   (P2 + P1) / 2

Elasticity =<u> Percentage change in price__</u>

                 Percentage change in quantity

Inserting the data:

Percentage change in quantity =<u> (30  -20)    </u>  x  100  =    <u>10</u> x 100  = 40%

                                                       (30 + 20) /2                   25

Percentage change in price  = <u>($20 - $10)</u> x 100    =  <u>10</u>  x 100   =  66.6%

                                                    ($20 + $10) /2             15

Elasticity of supply = <u>40%</u>

                                  66.6%

                                  = 0.60

polet [3.4K]

Answer: 4 times

Explanation:

GDP per capita is a way of measuring the wealth Distribution in a country. It is calculated by dividing the Gross Domestic Product by the population of the country. The aim usually is to see if the Country's economy is big enough considering the amount of people it has.

Country C has a GDP per capita of,

= 10,000/500

= $20

Country D has a GDP per capita of,

= 10,000/2,000

= $5

= 20/5

= 4

Country C has a GDP per capita that is 4 times that of C.

adell [148]

Companies with residual dividend policies priorities paying capital expenditures out of earnings.

<h3>What is payout ratio?</h3>

The payout ratio, which is calculated as a percentage of the firm's total earnings, demonstrates the part of earnings that a company distributes to its shareholders in the form of dividends. By dividing the total dividends given out by the net income made, the computation is arrived at.

For dividend investors, the dividend payout ratio is a crucial indicator. It demonstrates how much of a company's earnings are distributed to investors. The higher that number, the less cash a corporation has left over to fund dividend growth and corporate expansion.

Companies with residual dividend policies priorities paying capital expenditures out of earnings. Any unused revenues are then used to pay dividends. Long-term debt and equity are often both parts of a company's capital structure.
