Answer:

the bond's price elasticity = - 0.67

Explanation:

present bond value = $1100

previous bond value = $900

change in bond value = $1100 - $900 = $200

present bond percentage = 8%

previous bond percentage = 12%

% change in bond value = 8% - 12% = - 4%

Bond price elasticity = \frac{change  in bond value}{previous bond value}/\frac{change in percentage}{previous percentage}

                                  = \frac{200}{900} / \frac{-4}{12}

                                  = \frac{2}{9} * -3

                                  = - 0.67

  • Total revenues                                       $267,300

Variable costs:

  • City fees $26,730
  • Souvenirs $7,425
  • Brokerage fees $11,340
  • Carriage drivers $52,650
  • Total variable costs                                  <u>$98,145</u>

Operating profit                                             $103,305

2) If the total amount of passengers increase by 10%, then all variable costs will increase by 10% except brokerage fees which would increase only by 6%. Revenues should also increase by 10%. Period costs should not change.

Contribution margin should increase by 10.29% and operating profit would increase by 16.81%.

Explanation:

since the information is not complete, I looked it up:

Revenues

13,500 passengers:

8,100 x $23 = $186,300

5,400 x $15 = $81,000

total $267,300

variable costs:

fees paid to the city 10% of total revenue

souvenirs $0.55 per passenger

brokerage fees 60% of total tickets x $1.40

carriage drivers $3.90 per passenger

fixed costs:

depreciation $2,900

horse leases $48,000

marketing expenses $7,350

payroll expenses $7,600

Leni [432]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

Basically, the new rule is intended to protect consumers from an arbitrary increase in interest rates, fees, and other finance charges, and prohibits banks from raising interest based on the customer's past due payment history with another banking institution. In addition, entities must allow customers to pay their bills online or by phone, without charging an additional fee, and must notify 45 days in advance of any change in interest rates so that the customer has enough time to review the new terms.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Growth Rate = 5.73%

Explanation:

The present value of stock formula can be used here to solve this problem.

The formula is:

P_0=\frac{Div_1}{r-g}

Where

P_0  is the current stock price

Div_1  is the dividend to be paid next year

r is the rate of return required

g is the growth rate expected

Now, the first 3 variables are given, we need to find g. Substituting, we find our answer:

P_0=\frac{Div_1}{r-g}\\53.40=\frac{3.35}{0.12-g}\\53.40(0.12-g)=3.35\\6.408-53.40g=3.35\\53.40g=3.058\\g=0.0573\\

In percentage, it is

<u>Growth Rate = 5.73%</u>
