Answer:

inelastic PED

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the proportional change in quantity demanded of a good or service if the price changes by 1%. The PED is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the negative percentage change in price.

PED = -2% / -10% = 0.2 inelastic

If PED > 1, elastic demand

If PED < 1, inelastic demand

If PED = 1, unitary demand

Last month when Holiday Creations, Inc., sold 37,000 units, total sales were $315,000, total variable expenses were $239,400, an
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. What is the company’s contribution margin (CM) ratio?

= sales - variable cost/ sales

= $315,000 - $239,400/$315,000

= $75,600/$315,000

= 0.24 x 100

= 24%

2. What is the estimated change in the company’s net operating income if it can increase total sales by $1,100?

Net operating income

= sales - variable cost - fixed cost

= $315,000 - $239,400 - $39,000

= $36,600

Change in operating income

= $316,100 - $239,400 - 39,000

= $37,700

Contribution margin ratio

= $316,600 - $239,400/316,600

= $77,200/$316,600

= 0.24 x 100

= 24%

Estimated change

=Change in total sales x CMR

= $1,100 x 24%

= $264

Imagine that a local water company issued $10,000 ten-year bond at an interest rate of 6%. You are thinking about buying this bo
mylen [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The $10,000 is the face value of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate the price at a year before maturity; i.e. at year 9;

Time to maturity; N = 10 - 9 = 1

Annual interest rate; I/Y = 9%

Annual coupon payment; PMT = 0

Face value of the bond; FV = 10,000

then compute present value ; CPT PV = $9,174.31

Therefore, you will pay less than $10,000 for the bond and the price would be  as above $9,174.31
