Answer:

3

Demand is elastic

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

60 / 20 = 3

Demand is elastic because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 3.

This means that a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

irina [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the given question is shown below:-

Total Contributions = Monthly contribution + Amount invested in Ferdinand’s 401(k)

= $250 + $125

= $375  

1. Future Value = PMT [((1 + r)n - 1) ÷ r

Future value = 375 × ((1 + 0.03 ÷ 12) × 12 × 40 - 1) ÷ (0.03 ÷ 12)

= $347,272

2. Ferdinand deposit = Given Amount × Total number of months in a year × Number of years

= $250 × 12 Months × 40 Years

= $120,000

3. The Amount put in by the employer = 50% of $250 ×Total number of months in a year × Number of years

= $125 × 12 Months × 40 Years

= $60,000

4. Interest = Future value - Ferdinand deposit - The Amount put in by the employer

= $347,272 - $120,000 - $60,000

= $167,272

We simply applied the above formulas

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

NPV = -$132,193.77

Explanation:

best case NPV:

price per unit (+4%) = $48.88

sales per year (+4%) = 32,240

variable cost per unit (-2%) = $22.54

fixed costs (-2%) = $826,042

depreciation expense per year = $227,000 / 4 = $56,750

contribution margin per unit = $26.34

23% tax rate

discount rate = 11.5%

initial outlay = $227,000

net cash flows = {[($26.34 x 32,240) - $826,042 - $56,750] x 77%} + $56,750 = $30,885.392

NPV = -$132,193.77
