Answer:
a. 1, and total revenue and price move in the same direction
Explanation:
Unit elasticity of demand is when a change in price leads to a proportional change in quantity demanded.
A good has a unit elastic demand when its coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.
If price increases by 20% , quantity demanded falls by 20%.
If price falls by 20%, quantity demanded increases by 20%.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50
State Prob E(R)
Boom 10% 40%
Normal 60% 20%
Recession
30% - 25%
Answer:
The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.
The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%
Explanation:
<u>Expected return</u>
The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.
The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1) + (0.2 * 0.6) + (-0.25 * 0.3)
The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%
<u>Standard Deviation of returns</u>
The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:
SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)
Where,
- rA, rB to rN is the return under event A, B to N.
- pA, pB to pN is the probability of these events to occur
- E(R) is the expected return of the stock
Here, the events are the state of economy.
So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)
SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%
Answer:
a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand
z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053
√lead time = √7 = 2.6458
standard deviation of demand = 3
safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps
reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps
EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]
S = order cost = $10
D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840
H = $0.05
EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps
b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22
total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20
total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42
Answer:
C :Job 1000, $1,860; Job 1001, $3,100
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost is shown below:
For Job 1000:
= Direct materials + Direct labor hours × wage rate per hour × Direct labor hours × overhead rate per hour
= $1,200 + 30 × $15 + 30 × $7
= $1,200 + $450 + $210
= $1,860
For Job 1001:
= Direct materials + Direct labor hours × wage rate per hour × Direct labor hours × overhead rate per hour
= $2,000 + 50 × $15 + 50 × $7
= $2,000 + $750 + $350
= $3,100
Answer:
a. NAV = 8 per share
b. 250.000 shares
c. 7.95
Explanation:
a. NAV = Market value of shares/number of shares = $8m/1m = $8 per share
b. At the current NAV, it can absorb up to $2 million, or 250,000 shares.
c-1. Its loss by selling 25,000 shares of IBM at $34 instead of $36 = -$2 x 25,000 = -$50,000.
New NAV = $7,950,000 /1m = $7.95
