Answer:

0.539

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against the change in price of the product. It shows how much demand changes if there is the change in price.

Under mid-point method the price elasticity can be calculated as follow

where

S = Quantity

P = Price

Change in Quantity = ( S2 - S1 ) / [ ( S2 + S1 )/2 ]

Change in Quantity = ( 6,060 - 7,070 ) / [ ( 6,060 + 7,070 )/2 ]

Change in Quantity = -1,010 / 6,565

Change in Quantity = -0.153846

Change in price = ( P2 - P1 ) / [ ( P2 + P1 )/2 ]

Change in price = ( $4,004 - $3,003 ) / [ ( $4,004 + $3,003 )/2 ]

Change in price  = $1,001 / $3,503.5

Change in price  = 0.285714

Elasticity of Supply = Change in Quantity / Change in Price

Elasticity of Supply = -0.153846 / 0.285714 = -0.5385

Elasticity of Supply = -0.539

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%)

Explanation:

As we know that,

Self Supporting Growth Rate = Return on Equity * (1 - Payout Ratio) ...Eq1

Here

Payout ratio given is 50%

and

Return on Equity =  35% <u>(Step 1)</u>

By putting values in Eq1, we have:

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 35% * (1 - 50%)

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 17.5%

Which means that Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%) which is 17.5%.

<u>Step 1: Find Return on Equity</u>

We know that:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity ..............Eq2

As we are not given value of Net Income we can not calculate the value of return on equity. But there is another way that we can calculate by simply multiplying and dividing by sales on Left hand side of the Eq2 equation.

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity          * Sales / Sales

By rearranging, we have:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Sales  *   Sales / Equity

Now here,

Net Income / Sales  = Profit Margin

By putting this in the above equation, we have:

Return on Equity = Profit Margin  * Sales / Equity

Here

Profit Margin is 7% given in the question.

Sales were $2,000,000

And  

Equity is $400,000 <u>(Step 2)</u>

By putting values, we have:

Return on Equity = 7%  * $2,000,000 / $400,000

Return on Equity = <u>35%</u>

<u>Step 2. Find Equity</u>

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Here,

Assets are worth $1,400,000

Liabilities are standing at $1,000,000 which includes only current liabilities because company doesn't have any long term borrowings

By putting the values, we have:

Equity = $1,400,000 - $1,000,000 = <u>$400,000</u>

<u>Brother, don't forget to rate the answer.</u>

Zina [86]

Answer:

The company should print the 3,000 units of Tennessee  as they will yield a gain for 3,000 dollars.

Because it faces economies of scale it should sale for as much as it can from a given pattern

Explanation:

Profit: revenue - variable cost - fixed cost

Profit =   15*Q - 8*Q - 18,000

Profit =          7Q- 18,000

3,000 Tennessee shirts x $7 contribution per shirt - 18,000 setup cost

profit: 21,000 - 18,000 = 3,000

Profit maximization: Marginal revenue = marginal cost

Total Revenue: 15 x Q

dTR' /dQ = 15

dTR''/dQ = 0

cost function: 18,000 + 7Q

dC'/dQ = 7

dC''/dQ = 0

Paul [167]

Hello, to get the current yield of the bond, determine first the<span> annual interest payment which is calculated as stated interest rate times the face value of the bond. In this question, the bond’s value is $1,000 and the stated interest rate is 6.5 percent, therefore, the annual interest payment is 65. Finally, the annual interest payment of 65 is divided by the current market price quote of 101.23 to get the current yield of 64.21%. Hope this helps.</span>
