Answer:

D. estimate price elasticity of demand by experimenting with different prices

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.

Demand is unit elastic if a change in price has the same proportional change on quantity demanded.

By experimenting with different prices and monitoring the different quantities demanded at each price, a new firm can determine the elasticity of demand for their product.

Price controls are set at the discretion of the government and not by firms.

Shortages imply they quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. It doesn't give any information on elasticity of demand.

The general price level is 150.00 and people expect it to increase to 156.00 next year. Therefore, the expected rate of inflatio
zmey [24]

Answer:

$98,165.14

Explanation:

Note: There are missing word but the full question is attached as picture below

Here, Initial Nominal Interest rate = 7%

Inflation expectation= 4%

So, real return = 3%

Now, investors would want same real return

New inflation = (159 - 150)/150 *100 = 6%

Nominal interest rate = 6 %+ 3% = 9%

Price after 1 year = $107,000

So, current price changes to = $107,000/(1+0.09) = $107,000/1.09 = $98,165.14

If all projects are assigned the same discount rate for purposes of​ evaluation, which of the following could​ occur? A. Highmin
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

D. All of the choices could occur when using a single discount rate for all projects.

Explanation:

  • The discount rate is the rate of return that is used to discount the cash flows analysis in determining the present and future values of cash flows.
  • The discount rate also called the discounted cash flow analysis follows the valuation method based on the time concept of money the DFC helps to find out the variability of the project by calculating the present values by the discounted rate.
  • <u>Thus if all the projects are assigned the same discount rates then the aim of revaluation of the project choices will be the same for all the projects like investing in standards assets like the bonds. </u>

Howard Enterprises, which has three departments, recently reported the following results: A B C Sales revenue $ 12,000 $ 48,000
almond37 [142]

Answer:

<em>Department C should be closed</em>

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making department, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.

For Howard Enterprises, the department with a negative contribution should be closed otherwise its operation would reduce the overall profit by the amount of the negative contribution.

So lets work out the contribution for each department by adding back the apportioned fixed cost. See table below

                                                           A                B                C

                                                            $                $                $             Total

Sales Revenue                               12,000      48,000        40,000    100,000

Operating cost                              11,400        59,800        50,500

Operating income                           600         (11,800)        (10,500)

*Add back apportioned fixed cost<u> 3,000       12,000        10,000</u>

Contribution                                   3,600        200            (500)

*Apportioned fixed cost

A- 12,000/100,000× 25,000 = 3,000

B- 48,000/100000   × 25,000 = 12,000

C- 40,000/100,00×25,000 = 10,000

From the above analysis, Department C generates a negative contribution.<em> It implies that it can barely cover its direct cost and so will deplete the total profit by its negative contribution. Hence, it should be closed</em>

<em>Department C should be closed</em>
