Answer:
B. gives the same answer regardless of the direction of change
Explanation:
The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:
Price elasticity of demand = (Percentage change in quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price)
where,
Percentage change in quantity demanded is
= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded)
And,
The percentage change in price is
= (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)
Therefore, it reflects the same answer
Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 10%
Levered cost of equity:
= 10% + ( 10% - 6%) × 0.2
= 10.8%
Therefore, Taggart's levered cost of equity would be closest to 11%.
Answer:
Variable cost = $6,550
Explanation:
Variable cost is the cost incurred during the production process that changes with quantity of goods produced. For example labor, machine operating cost, and raw materials.
The other type of cost is variable cost that does not change with volume of production, but rather remains constant. For example rent, tax, and so on.
In the given instance the costs that are variable are cost of labor, cost of electricity to run printing presses, and cost of ink for paper.
Monthly mortgage and property tax are fixed cost that must be paid regardless of production volume.
variable cost = $5,500 + $800 + $250
Variable cost = $6,550
<span>the four-firm concentration ratio in the u.s. soda market in 2009 are as follows
Coca cola -42.7%
Pepsi - 30.8%
Dr.pepper snapple group - 15.3 %
Royal crown - 2.1 %
From the above data we can clearly find that Coke has an uphill battle—they have huge amounts of marketing muscle, financial resources.Against Coke and Pepsi, guerrilla warfare is the only thing that might work.</span>
Answer:
Balance after 30 years = $151,018.50
Explanation:
In order to calculate this, we will calculate the future value on an amount invested, gaining interest over the years of investment, and this is given by:
where:
FV = future value
PV = present value
r = interest rate
t = time in years.
Hence the future value is calculated as follows:
1. For the first 10 years at 7% interest:
7% interest = 7/100 = 0.07
2. For the last 20 years at 9.5%(0.095) interest:
Note that for the remaining 20 years, the present value (PV) used = 24,589.392, as ending balance after the first 10 years
Total Future value earned = $151,018.50
