Answer:

Correct option is (A)

Explanation:

Given:

Percentage change in price = 10%

Decrease in quantity demanded in terms of percentage = -15%

Price elasticity of demand measures the proportional change in quantity demanded due to proportional change in price. It is given by the following formula:

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price.

                                            = -15% / 10%

                                            = -1.5

A negative coefficient of price elasticity goes with the law of demand that states that increase in prices lead to decrease in quantity demanded.

Edgar, Inc. has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. Six thousand pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound.
butalik [34]

Answer:

materials quantity variance: 1,200 unfavorable

Explanation:

(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance

std quantity 5400.00

actual quantity 6000.00

std cost  $2.00

(5,400 - 6,000) \times 2.00 = DM \: quantity \: variance

difference -600.00

quantity variance  $(1,200.00)

The difference between standard and actual quantity is negative. We used more pounds than expected, the variance will be unfavorable.

600 extra pounds at $2.00 each = 1,200

faust18 [17]

Answer:

This is not necessarily evidence that the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly has  decreaseddecreased  because belowbelow  0.10 because the proportion of sample, is nothing very close to 0.10.

Explanation:

n = 1100

p = 0.10

Using the formula np(1-p), we will have

= 1100(0.10)*(1 - 0.10)

= 1100*0.10*0.90

= 99

99 ≥ 10

This satisfies normal distribution condition. That is, proportion of sample are normally distributed.

Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighte
uysha [10]

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

A corporation has outstanding $5,000,000 of 9 1/2% 20-year debentures, with a conversion price of $40. If all the debentures wer
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The 125,000 shares of common stock would be issued

Explanation:

For computing how many shares of common stock would be issued, we have to use the formula of common share produced which is shown below:

Common share produced = Par value ÷ Conversion price

where,

Par value is $5,000,000

And, the conversion is $40

Now, apply these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equals to

= $5,000,000 ÷ $40

= 125,000

The time period and rate of debentures is irrelevant, Thus, it is ignored.

Hence, the 125,000 shares of common stock would be issued.
