Answer:

1.      1.22

Explanation:

P = Price of money clip

S = Supply of money clip

P1 = 0.75

P2 = 0.90

S1 = 8,000

S2 = 10,000

Mid point Formula = [ ( S2- S1 ) / ( P2- P1 ) ] / [ ( ( S2+ S1 ) / 2) / ( ( P2 + P1 )/2 ) ]

Price Elasticity of Supply =  [ ( 10,000- 8,000 ) / ( 0.90- 0.75 ) ] / [ ( ( 10,000+ 8,000 ) / 2) / ( ( 0.90 + 0.75 )/2 ) ]

Price Elasticity of Supply = (2,000 / 0.15) / (9,000 / 0.825)

Price Elasticity of Supply = 13,333.33 / 10909.09

Price Elasticity of Supply = 1.22

Which of the following equations describes customer value?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

A. Customer value = customer benefits - customer cost

Explanation:

The customer value is the worth of a product or a service as compared to other alternatives in the standpoint of a customer.

It is basically like the worth of obtaining a product or a service is to a customer. Customer value can be considered how a customer benefits from the product minus the cost of obtaining the product.

Benefits and cost does not always have to be in the form of cash. A benefit can be in the form of quality, value, experience and cost can be in terms of time, effort, or energy.

A. A stock's returns have the following distribution:
babunello [35]

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

For question 1:

The weighted average of each return is the expected return.

Expected\ return = 0.1 \times -0.22 + 0.2 \times -0.12 + 0.3 \times  0.17 + 0.2 \times  0.33 + 0.2 \times  0.56 \\\\

                           = 0.1830 \\\\= 18.30\%

For question 2:

Standard deviation is a measured source of the square deviations from the mean via probability.

Std \ dev = [0.1 \times (0.183-(-0.22))^2 + 0.2 \times (0.183-(-0.12))^2 + 0.3\times(0.183-0.17)^2 + 0.2\times (0.183-0.33)^2 + 0.2\times (0.183-0.56)^2]^{(\frac{1}{2})}\\\\

             = 0.2596 \\\\= 25.96\%

For question 3:

For point a:

\text{Coefficient of variation} = \frac{std \ dev}{expected\ return} \\\\

                                    =\frac{0.2596}{0.183} \\\\= 1.42

For point b:

As per the CAPM:  \text{Required return = risk free rate + beta}\times \text{market risk premium}

\to 16\% = 4.5\% + beta\times 5\%\\\\\to beta = 2.3

 In Option I:

When the beta of the stock exceeds 1.0, the change in the required rate of return must be higher than the increase in the premium of market risk. Beta is the degree to which stock return changes as market returns change.

 \text{Required return = risk free rate + beta}\times \text{market risk premium}

Required \ return = 4.5\% + 2.3\times 7\%\\\\Required \ return = 20.6\%\\\\

The following standards for variable manufacturing overhead have been established for a company that makes only one product: Sta
Xelga [282]

Answer:

$13,640 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Data provided

Actual hours = 2,600

Standard hours = 6.0

Standard variable overhead rate = $12.40

The computation of variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:-

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard rate

= (2,600 - (250 × 6.0)) × $12.40

= (2,600 - 1,500) × $12.40

= 1,100 × $12.40

= $13,640 Unfavorable

Therefore for computing variable overhead efficiency variance we simply applied the above formula.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

$40,970

Explanation:

The computation of the total cost of the material K is given below;

Material needed for August sales:

= 14,000 × 3

= 42,000

Desired ending inventory:

= 14,500 × 3 × 20%

= 8,700

Beginning inventory:

= 2,500

Now

Purchases in August:

= (42,000 + 8,700 - 2,500) × $0.85

= $40,970

In a given amount of time John can produce either 40 pounds of vegetables or 10 pounds of chicken. In the same amount of time Ge
nordsb [41]

Answer:

1. 3 pounds of Vegetable

2. 5 Pounds of Vegetable

Explanation:

The question requires the calculation of Opportunity costs. This is the benefit foregone or benefit that can be derived from a next best option based on an individual's current choice.

The question is to calculate the Opportunity cost for John and George espcially as regards the production of two items. The first is Chicken and the second is Vegetables. It can also be provided in a given amount of time.

We can expect one pound of chcken to trade for at least........ pounds of vegetable but not more than ............. of vegetable

One pound of chicken has the opportunity cost of ......

Step 1: How many pounds of vegetable can John produce compared to pounds of chicken?

John can produce 40 pounds of Vegetable for 10 pounds of Chicken

Therefore, 1 pound of chickedn = 40 Pounds of Vegetable/ 10 pounds of Chicken

It means 1 pound of Chicken has the opportunity cost of 4 Pounds of Vegetable for John

Step 1: How many pounds of vegetable can George produce compared to pounds of chicken?

George can produce 25 pounds of Vegetable for 5 pounds of Chicken

Therefore, 1 pound of chicked = 25Pounds of Vegetable/ 5 pounds of Chicken

It means 1 pound of Chicken has the opportunity cost of 5 Pounds of Vegetable for George
