Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": Price will increase, and quantity will increase.
Explanation:
If a natural disaster cuts the supply for water in a region, bottled water will face an <em>increase in its quantity demanded</em> as a substitute. Besides, due to scarcity, the bottled water is likely to face an increase in its price, thus, the <em>equilibrium price of bottled water increases</em>.
Answer:
$21,800
Explanation:
The computation of 4-year revenue is as shown below:-
Bond Income of 4th Year = Face amount × Bond × 1 ÷ 2
= $500,000 × 8% × 1 ÷ 2
= $20,000
Interest Revenue = Bond Income + Amount of Discount Amortized
= $20,000 + $1,800
= $21,800
Therefore for computing the interest revenue we simply bond income with the amount of discount amortized.
Answer and Explanation:
A. Toothpaste brand: Toothpaste is a commonly used, inexpensive, and very popular product. These decisions are governed mainly by the reference group such as family , friends or primary group with whom a student has regular face to face experiences. Hence the purchase decision is affected by a low degree of comparison community.
B. Buying a hybrid car: A hybrid car is sometimes described as expensive and luxury products. It's moreover a non-necessity commodity for a college student. These decisions are therefore usually affected by secondary community. And a high degree of control in the comparison community will only inspire a student to buy a car.
C. Buying cereal for breakfast: This is a simple requirement of a lifetime. Therefore, even without consulting any reference group a student can buy such product. Often such transactions are rules by family group control. So it needs a low degree of control.
D. Becoming a vegetarian: It takes a high degree of influence and motivation to become a vegetarian.
Thus the aspirational group influences a student. So they opt for vegetarianism to become part of such a community. Such decision taking involves a high degree of control.
E. Option of a computer tablet like the iPod: these products are a luxury commodity sold at regular prices. Typically refer to their families , friends, magazines before making a purchase student to get an idea about the output and price of these products. These goods are the weak product with a strong brand and a strong purchase is controlled by a strong reference community impact.
Answer:
1.37
Explanation:
Given that
Operating income = $45,900
Variable expenses = 10%
Fixed expenses = $17,100
The calculation of operating income is shown below:-
Contribution margin = Operating income + Fixed expenses
= $45,900 + $17,100
= $63,000
So, Operating leverage = Contribution margin ÷ Operating income
= $63,000 ÷ $45,900
= 1.37
Answer:
d. A perpetuity is a stream of regularly timed, equal cash flows that continues forever.
Explanation:
A perpetuity refers to a future stream of cash flows, paying a constant amount regularly till forever. Such stream is never ending.
The present value of a perpetuity is computed by dividing the constant amount receivable till forever, by required rate of return/cost of capital.
Present value of a growing perpetuity is given by
= 
wherein cash flows represent cash flows receivable growing at g% rate till forever
r = required rate of return or cost of capital
g= growth rate of cash flows
Where the cash flows are of constant amount i.e non growing nature, the present value of such a perpetuity is given by,
=
