Answer:
The price elasticity of demand is 1.14.
The price is Elastic.
Elasticity is more than one so total revenue will fall.
Explanation:
Given the initial price of good x = $12
Final price of good x = $12.90
% change in price = [(12.90 - 12) / 12] x 100 = 7.5 %
Initial quantity = 5000
Final quantity = 4600
% change in quantity = [(4600 - 5000)/5000] x 100 = -8%
Elasticity = % change in quantity / % change in price
Elasticity = 8% / 7%
Elasticity = 1.14
The price elasticity of demand is 1.14.
The price is Elastic.
Since elasticity is more than one so total revenue will fall.
Answer:
12.75 %
Explanation:
Cost of Capital is calculated on a Weighted Average basis. This is because there is a Pooling of Funds when it comes to financing projects. So Cost of Capital is the Return that is Required by providers of Long Term source of finance.
Cost of Capital = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd
Where,
E/V = Market Weight of Equity
= 0.55
Ke = Cost of Equity
= 15%
D/E = Market Weight of Debt
= 0.45
Kd = Cost of Debt
= 10%
Therefore,
Cost of Capital = 0.55 × 15% + 0.45 × 10%
= 12.75 %
Answer:
Thailand:
Opportunity cost of computers = 300/20 = 15 tons of rice
US:
Opportunity cost of computers = 800/100 = 8 tons of rice
US has a comparative advantage in production of computers
Absence of trade:
Thailand consumes 150 tons of rice, it can consume = (300 - 150)/30 x 2 = 10 computers
US consumes 50 computers, it can consume = 400 tons of rice
After trade :
10 computers exchanged for 120 tons of rice
Thailand continues to consume 150 tons of rice, it will consume = 12 computers (=10 + 30/15)
US continues to consume 50 computers, it will consume = 440 tons of rice (=120 + 40 x 8)
Both would accept the proposal as both are better off with trade
