Softa [21]

Answer:

3.50

Explanation:

Given the information above, we need to find first the Average fixed assets.

Average fixed assets = Fixed assets beginning balance + Fixed assets ending balance / 2

= ($370,000 + $398,000) / 2

= $384,000

Then , the fixed assets turnover will be calculated as;

Fixed assets turnover = Net revenue / Average net fixed assets

= $1,340,000 / $384,000

= 3.50

Therefore, Campbell Co. Fixed asset turnover ratio would be 3.50

Suppose Robina Bank receives a deposit of $53,589 and the reserve requirement is 3%. Answer the questions using this information

g100num [7]

A) 2,679.45
B) 50,909.55
C) 1,071,780
Explanation:
The bank will keep 5% of the deposit:
53,589 x 5% = 2,679.45‬
Then, it will have in excess the remainder:
53,589 - 2,679.45 = 50,909.55‬
This amount can be used for another.
This makes a hypothetical loop. The borrower can also deposit and creating the chance or another loan and so on. The cycle repeats indefinitely
The maximum amount of new money can be determinate as follow:

53,589 / 0.05 = 1,071,780

Suppose that the quantity of DVD players sold increased from 200 to 400 when the price fell from $225 to $175. Over this price r

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

Given information:

$Q_1=200, Q_2=400$

$P_1=225, P_2=175$

Formula for price elasticity of demand is

$E_d=\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{P_2-P_1}\times \frac{P_1+P_2}{Q_1+Q_2}$

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

$E_d=\frac{400-200}{175-225}\times \frac{225+175}{200+400}$

$E_d=\frac{200}{-50}\times \frac{400}{600}$

$E_d=-\frac{8}{3}$

$E_d\approx -2.67$

Absolute value is

$|E_d|= |-2.67|=2.67$

The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for DVD players is 2.67.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Inelastic demand, Amputation procedure

Explanation:

The good with no close substitute is likely to experience inelastic demand because the consumer does not any close substitute to change to, this means that even when price is increased, the consumer is not likely to stop buying if the good is a necessary good.

The Amputation procedure will have least elastic demand because the diabetes sufferer does not have close substitute to change to when price increase while Diamond necklace is a luxury good, when the price is increased the consumer stop buying or switch to other luxury goods such as gold, silver that are equally used for decoration purposes.
