Answer:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = 0.1</em>

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand as below:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded for product X/ % change in price of product Y</em>

<em />

Starbucks raises its price by 5 percent, so that <em>percentage changes in price of Starbucks' products</em> are 5

McDonald's experiences a 0.5 percent increase in demand for its coffee, so that <em>percentage changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee </em>is 0.5

=> <em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee/ %changes in price of Starbucks' products</em>

<em>= 0.5/5=  0.1</em>

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $74,400, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a loan with an apr of 6.
NeX [460]
Monthly payment = $1774.71 
Effective annual rate = 7.02% 
 The equation for a loan payment is
 P = r(PV)/(1-(1+r)^(-n))
 where
 P = Payment per period
 PV = Present value
 r = interest rate per period
 n = number of periods 
 Since the 6.8% interest rate is APR, we need to divide by 12 to get the interest per month. So in the above equation r = 0.068/12 = 0.005666667, the number of periods is 48 and the Present Value is 74400. Let's plug in the numbers and calculate.
 P = r(PV)/(1-(1+r)^(-n))
 P = 0.00566666666666667(74400)/(1-(1+0.00566666666666667)^(-48))
 P = 421.6/(1-(1.00566666666666667)^(-48))
 P = 421.6/(1-0.762439412691304)
 P = 421.6/0.237560587308696
 P = 1774.70516
 So the month payment rounded to 2 decimal places is $1774.71 
 The effective interest rate is
 ER = (1 + r/12)^12 - 1 
 Let's plug in the numbers and calculate.
 ER = (1 + 0.068/12)^12 - 1
 ER = (1 + 0.00566666666666667)^12 - 1
 ER = (1.00566666666666667)^12 - 1
 ER = 1.07015988024972 - 1
 ER = 0.07015988024972 = 7.015988024972% 
 So after rounding, the effective interest rate is 7.02%

belka [17]

Answer:

$340,000

Explanation:

Revenue target for September is $30,000 larger than its revenue target for June, since there are 3 months between June and September, its revenue target grew by $10,000 each month (= $30,000 / 3).

If the company's revenue target is $310,000 for December, and it continues to grow at the same rate, t will be $320,000 for January, $330,000 for February and finally $340,000 for March.

Times interest earned is the ratio of net operating income to interest income. Net operating income = $551,000 and interest expense = $512,000. The division of net operating income by interest expense gives times interest earned ratio.
