Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

Percentage\ increase\ in\ price=\frac{6-4}{4}\times100

                                                          = 50%

Percentage\ Decrease\ in\ quantity\ demanded=\frac{800-700}{800}\times100

                                                          = 12.5%

Therefore,

price\ elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percentage\ change\ in\ price}

price\ elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{12.5}{50}

                                                     = 0.25

Hence, the price elasticity of demand over this price range is equal to 0.25

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

a. Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities = $366 / $226 = 1.62 to 1

b. Average receivable = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2 = ($156 + $160) / 2 = $158

Average collection period = Number of days in year / Credit sales * Average accounts receivable = 365 / $1,702 * $158 = 33.88 days

 

c. Average Stockholder's equity =   (Beginning equity + Ending equity) / 2 = ($500 + $550) / 2 = $525

Return on stockholder's equity =  Net income / Average stockholder's equity = $112 / $525 = 21.33%  

d. Earnings per share = Net income / Common shares outstanding = $112 / 46 = $2.43 per share

Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings per share = $50 / $2.43 = 20.58 times

e. Dividends per share = Dividends / Common shares outstanding = $92 / 46 = $2.00 per share

Dividend yield ratio = Dividend per share / Market price per share = $2.00 / $50 = 4.00%

Beginning retained earnings $346

Add: Net income                            $112

Less: Ending retained earnings   -<u>$366</u>
