If the price elasticity of demand for Mountain Dew is 4.4 then "mountain dew has a high price elasticity of demand".

<u>Answer:</u> Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

In economics "Price elasticity of demand" (PED) is a metric required to illustrate the flexibility or elasticity of a product or service's required quantity to increase its value when nothing but the value of product vary. When mountain dew have price elasticity of demand is 4.4 this follows that a price increase of 10 percent would result in the quantity needed decline by 44% as illustrated below:

4.4 = (% quantity change) / (% price change)

4.4 = x / 10

x = -4.4 (10) = -44% here negative sign shows decline in quantity required.

Answer:

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%

Explanation:

The question is to determine the After Tax Cost of Debt for Rolling Stone.

This is carried out as follows

Step 1: When we decide to calculate the Yield to Maturity, it should be noted that Market Value = Par Value

Therefore,

Coupon Rate which is the same as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) = 12%

Step 2: Based on this derivative, therefore,

After Tax Cost of Debt = Yield TO Maturity Rate (1-Marginal Tax Rate)

= 12% (1-40%)

= 0.12 (1-0.4)

The After Tax Cost of Debt = 0.072 or 7.2%

For the coming year, River Company estimates fixed costs at $109,000, the unit variable cost at $21, and the unit selling price

zzz [600]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $109,000

Unit variable cost= $21

Selling price= $85.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 109,000/ (85 - 21)

Break-even point in units= 1,703 units

Now, we need to include the desired profit:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (109,000 + 150,000) / 64

Break-even point in units= 4047 units

Sales= 500,000

Variable cost= 5,882*21= (123,522)

Contribution margin= 376,478

Fixed costs= (109,000)

Net operating income= $267,478
