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

Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock and 30 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 16 p
alexira [117]

Answer:

The company WACC is 13.30%

Explanation:

For computing the WACC, first we have to find the weight-age of both debt and equity.

Since in the question, the weightage of debt and equity is given which is equals to

Debt = 30%

And, Equity or common stock = 70%

So, we can easily compute the WACC. The formula is shown below

= Weighted of debt × cost of debt × (1- tax rate) + Weighted of equity × cost of equity

= 0.30 × 0.10 × (1 - 0.30) + 0.70 × 0.16

= 0.021 + 0.112

= 13.30%

Hence, the company WACC is 13.30%

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

C. strictly liable for Will's injuries

Explanation:

In law, Strict liability is a situation when defendant is required to be responsible to a certain situation, but can't be considered as guilty to any violation.

There are two points that need to be highlighted from the case above:

1.  Astor Manufacturing process has fulfilled all of its safety regulation for storing the dangerous product.

2. The dangerous product owned by Astor Manufacturing caused William's injury.

The regulations for hazard management is created by the government, and the leak is not caused by their negligence. It's caused by unexpected natural disaster.  This is why we can't say that Astor is guilty to any violation.

But still, the chemical that they created injured William. The court will most likely force Astor to be responsible for all the medical expenses incurred by william.
