Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": A change in the price of oil.
Explanation:
The supply curve for any good or service responds in front of changes in price. According to the supply law, if the price of a good or service increases so will the quantity supplied moving the supply law to the right. If the price of the good decreases so will the quantity supplied moving the supply curve to the left. The price-quantity supplied relationship is directly proportional.
Answer:
14.91 and 24.77%
Explanation:
The computation of the company interest coverage ratio is shown below:-
Interest coverage ratio = Earning before interest and tax ÷ Interest
= $161,000 ÷ $10,800
= 14.91
Operating profit margin = (Earning before interest and tax ÷ Revenue) × 100
= $161,000 ÷ $650,000 × 100
= 24.77%
Therefore we have applied the above formula and hence option is not available.
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
Answer:
Turnover Company
The net income of Turnover will increase by $500,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Turner Company's shareholding in ICA = 10%
ICA pays dividend totalling $5 million
Turner's share of dividend = $500,000 ($5 million * 10%)
b) This is not based on equity accounting. Instead, the investment will be reported at fair value. Equity accounting method will be applied in recording Turner's investments in ICA Company, if the ownership interest is valued at 20–50% of the stock.
c) The $500,000 dividends received from ICA Company will be reported in the Income Statement of Turner Company as other income, unless Turner ordinarily buys and sells stocks. The 10% shareholding does not amount to significant control or influence for the accounts of Turner and ICA to be consolidated.
Answer:
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Price elasticity of demand for beef, Ed = 0.60
Increase in the price of beef = 20%
Now,
Price elasticity of demand for beef,
Ed = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ [ Percentage change in price ]
or
0.60 = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 0.60 × 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 12%
Also,
Price and Quantity are inversely proportional
Hence,
With the increase in price, the quantity will decrease
Therefore,
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
