Answer:

Explanation:

In using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity , the average percentage change in the price and quantity are used

formula = percentage change in quantity = (Q2 -Q1/(Q2+Q1)/2)*100

Percentage change in price = ( P2 -P2/(P2-P1)/2)*100

Price changes = $1.5 to $1.3

Quantity changes = 60 to 100

Percentage in price = (1.3-1.5 /(1.5+1.3)/2 )*100

(-0.2/1.4)*100 =-14.29%

Percentage in quantity = (100-60/(100+60)/2)*100

40/80*100 = 50%

Therefore , price elasticity of demand = 50/-14.29 = -3.5

With the elastic interval being less than 1 , it means that it is an inelastic  demand

Del is buying a $250,000 home. He has been approved for a 5.75% mortgage. He was required to make a 15% down payment and will be
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Del is expected to prepaid to pay $535.62 in prepaid interest at the closing.

Explanation:

The down payment of 15% is $250000*15%=$37500

The balance of mortgage net of down payment=$250000-$37500

                                                                               =$212500

Interest yearly=$212500*5.75%=$12,218.75

A year interest divided by 365days give one day interest.

A day interest=$12218.75/365=$33.48

Total interest  to pay at closing=16days*$33.48

                                                     =$535.62

The number of days was 16 because July has 31days and deal was closed on 15th,hence 31 minus 15 gives 16.

Assume Sarah is a cash-method, calendar-year taxpayer, and she is considering making the following cash payments related to her
Marizza181 [45]

The question is incomplete. However, it is about the calculation of after-tax cost of payment

Answer:

After-tax cost = payment*(1-0.37)

Explanation:

The after-tax cost is the net cost after the deduction of the amount of tax from the actual payment. In most cases, the value of the tax deduction is determined by multiplying the marginal tax rate with the payment. Then, the magnitude of the after-tax cost can be estimated by subtracting the payment from the tax deduction.
