Answer:

Her income elasticity of demand for new outfits is 0.266.

Explanation:

The elasticity of demand is the percentage of change in the demand divided by the percentage change in income.

Percentage change in demand

The demand changes from 20 to 19. 19/20 = 0.95, so 19 is 95% of 20. There is a 1-0.95 = 0.05 = 5% change in demand.

Percentage change in income

Lauren's income decreases from 37000 to 30000. 30/37 = 0.811. There is a 1-0.811 = 0.189 = 18.9% change in demand.

So her income elasticity of demand for new outfits is:

IE = \frac{0.05}{0.189} = 0.2646

Her income elasticity of demand for new outfits is 0.266.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Constant returns to scale production function: When there is an increase in inputs (i.e capital and labor) as a result output increases by the same proportion.

For example: If the amounts of equipment and workers are both doubled in the production of bread then as a result the output of bread also doubled.

Suppose the capital and labor increases by 10% then as a result output also increases by 10%.

Targaryen Corporation has a target capital structure of 65 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 30 percent debt.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

  • a. What is the company’s WACC?

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%) * (1-0,25) =  10,05%

  • b. What is the aftertax cost of debt?

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

Explanation:

The WACC it's defined by the formula :

WACC: E/V*Re + D/V*Rd *(1-0,25)

Re:   13,00%  Cost of Common Equity    

Re:   5,00%  Cost of Preferred STOCK  

Re:   6%     Cost of Debt  

E/V:   65%   Percentage of financing that is Common Equity  

PS/V:   5%     Percentage of financing that is Preferred Stock  

DB/V:   30%    Percentage of financing that is Debt  

Tax:  25%    Corporate tax rate  

Now we have all of the components to calculate the WACC.

The WACC is:      

R_Wacc =  13% (65%) + 5% (5%) + 6% (30%)*(1-0,25) =  10,05%  

The aftertax cost of debt is:    

R_Debt :  (1 - 0,25) x 6% = 4,50%

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$22,175.40

Explanation:

For this question, we use the Future value formula that is shown on the attachment below:

Provided that,  

Present value = $0

Rate of interest = 7%

NPER = 10 years

PMT = $1,500

The formula is shown below:

= -FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)

So, after solving this, the future value is $22,175.40

Therefore, the amount at the end of the year is $22,175.40
