The city of Animaltown plans to build a new bridge across the river separating the two halves of the city for use by its residen

ts. It is considering two plans for financing this bridge. Plan A calls for the bridge to be paid for out of tax revenues, allowing anyone to use the bridge freely. Plan B calls for imposing a toll of $6 for crossing the bridge, with the remainder of the cost to be paid out of tax revenues. City planners estimate a local demand curve for hourly use of the bridge to be Q = 1,800 – 100P. The bridge will be able to accommodate 2000 cars per hour without congestion. Which of the plans is more efficient, and why? How would your answer change if congestion was predicted on the bridge?

When the price of hamburgers increased from $1.50 to $2.75, the quantity demanded decreased from 375 units sold to 250 units sol
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Inelastic

Explanation:

When the price of hamburgers increased from $1.50 to $2.75, the quantity demanded decreased from 375 units sold to 250 units sold. Using the midpoint method, hamburgers are said to be inelastic

1. Change in price = 2.75-1.5 / (1.5+2.75)/2 = 1.25/2.125 = 0.59

2. Change in quantity demanded = 375-250 / (375+250)/2 = 125/ 312.5 = 0.4

3. Price Elasticity = 0.4/0.59 = 0.68

4. When the value of elasticity is less than 1, it suggests that the demand is insensitive to price and is inelastic

Anderson Compounds produces two industrial chemical compounds, Gorp and Gumm, from the same process, which last year, cost $480,
Olin [163]

Answer:

b. 320000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the joint cost of Gorp we need to understand what the method means and how it's used to calculate it. The adjusted sales method is used to allocate joint costs based on the prices the products are sold.

First of all we need to calculate the percentage of Selling price of Gorp to that of the total selling price of both Gorp and Gumm.

I.e: 60 ÷ (60+30) × 100

SP % of Gorp= 66.67%

Now we calculate joint cost allocated to Gorp.

Total joint cost of both Gorp and Gumm = $480000

Joint cost of Gorp = $480000 × 66.67%

Joint cost of Gorp = $320,000

"Stock R has a beta of 1.5, Stock S has a beta of 0.75, the required return on an average stock is 10%, and the risk-free rate o
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

4.5%

Explanation:

Stock R (Beta) = 1.5

Stock S  (Beta) = 0.75

Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%

Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B

Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B

Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B

Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)

Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09

Stock R = 0.13

Stock R = 13%

Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)

Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045

Stock S = 0.085

Stock S = 8.5%

Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.

= 13% - 8.5%

= 4.5%

Cash flows from investing activities LO P3 Equipment with a book value of $65,300 and an original cost of $133,000 was sold at a
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

$221,100

Explanation:

Given that,

Book value of equipment = $65,300

Sold at a loss = $14,000

Purchase of a new truck = $89,000

Sale of land = $198,000

Sale of Long term investment = $60,800

Cash flows from investing activities:

= Sale of Equipment - Purchase of a new truck + Sale of land + Sale of Long term investment

= ($65,300 - $14,000) - $89,000 + $198,000 + $60,800

= $51,300 - $89,000 + $198,000 + $60,800

= $221,100
