Answer:

-0.34

Explanation:

Given that,

Percentage increase in prices = 5%

Initial quantity demanded = 30,000

New quantity demanded = 2,500

By midpoint method,

Average quantity :

= (Initial quantity  + New quantity) ÷ 2

= (30,000 + 2,500) ÷ 2

= 16,250

Change in quantity = (2,500 - 30,000)

                                = -27,500

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is as follows:

= (Change in demand ÷ Average quantity demanded) ÷ Percentage increase in prices

= (-27,500 ÷ 16,250) ÷ 5

= -1.69 ÷ 5

= -0.34

= 1.5% of $864,000 (75% of $1,152.000 )

= $12,960

3. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts based on an aging of accounts receivable of $12,000:

<h3><u>What is the Central Bank?</u></h3>

A financial institution with exclusive authority over the creation and distribution of money and credit for a country or a group of countries is known as the central bank. In contemporary economies, the central bank is typically in charge of monetary policy formulation and member bank regulation. Inherently non-market-based or even anti-competitive institutions are central banks. Many central banks, despite the fact that some have been nationalized, are not part of the government and are therefore frequently hailed as being politically independent. However, even though a central bank isn't technically the government's property, its rights are still created and safeguarded by the law.

Franklin Templeton has just invested $8,860 for his son (age one). This money will be used for his son’s education 18 years from
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Future value (FV) = $57,908

Present value (PV) = $8,860

Number of years (n) = 18 years

Interest rate = ?

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18

$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18

<u>$57,908</u> = (1 + r)18

$8,860

6.535891648 = (1 + r)18

18√6.535891648 = 1 + r  

1.10993 - 1 = r

r = 0.10992 = 10.99%

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the future value of a lump sum (single investment) formula. The present value, future value and number of years are given with the exception of interest rate. Thus, interest rate is made the subject of the formula.
