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.

Answer:

Equity Tiggie’s has on its balance sheet: $14,285,714 (round up $14,29 million)

Explanation:

The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio compares a company’s total debt to its total equity and can be used to evaluate how much leverage a company is using.

Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated by using formula:

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total debt (or liabilities)/Total equity

From the formula, Total equity = Total debt/Debt-to-equity ratio

In Tiggie’s Dog Toys, Inc., debt-to-equity ratio of 1.75 times and total debt was $25 million at the end of 2015.

Total equity = $25,000,000/1.75 = $14,285,714 (round up $14,29 million)
