Answer:
2.2
Explanation:
The formula for calculating price elasticity using the midpoint method is:
midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}
midpoint method = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} / {(1.20 - 1) / [(1.20 + 1) / 2]}
midpoint method = [50 / (250 / 2)] / [0.20 / (2.20 / 2)] = (50 / 125) / (0.20 / 1.1)
midpoint method = 0.4 / 0.19 = 2.2
The advantage of using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity is that we can calculate the price elasticity between two points, and it doesn't matter if the price increases or decreases.
If we calculate price elasticity using the single point formula:
price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price = 50% / 20% = 2.5
Answer:
Total Stockholders' equity was affected.
Explanation:
Stock dividend refers to distributing shares free of cost among the existing shareholders. Such a dividend does not result in resources flowing out of the entity but merely reassign amounts from retained earnings to other equity accounts. Thus, such a dividend does not affect the total equity of the stockholders. This can be seen through the following entry,
Retained Earnings $1,800,000 Dr
Common Stock, at par $1,200,000 Cr
Paid in Capital in excess
of par, Common Stock $600,000 Cr
The above transaction shows that we just redistributed the reserves by reducing retained earning by the value of stock dividend 1800000 [( 800000*0.15) * $15] and adding it to the Common Stock 1200000 [(800000*0.15) * 10] and to paid in capital in excess of par 600000 [(800000*0.15) * 5].
Answer:
The correct answer is $543,000
Explanation:
According to the given scenario, the calculation of the ending inventory is as follows:
= Inventory on hand + merchandise purchased F.O.B shipping point + F.O.B destination
= $350,000 + $118,000 + $75,000
= $543,000
The goods held on consignment i.e. not involved is not relevant
Thus, the calculation of the ending inventory is $543,000
Answer:
return on assets = 20%
Explanation:
given data
net income = $900
beginning total assets = $4600
ending total assets = $4400
solution
we get here return on assets that is express as
return on assets = 
× 100 ............1
here average assets will be
average assets = 
average assets = $4500
put here value we get
return on assets = 
× 100
return on assets = 20%
Answer:
Ending invetory= 200 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company currently has no items in inventory. The demand for the next four months is 200, 400, 250, and 350 units. Assuming a level production rate of 350 units per month.
<u>Production - Sales= Ending inventory</u>
350-200= 150
(150 + 350) - 400= 100
(100 + 350) - 250= 200
(200 + 350) - 350= 200 units
Ending invetory= 200 units
