Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.

The clock division of Control Central Corporation manufactures clocks and then sells them to customers for $10 per unit. Its var
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Minimum Transfer Price is $3.50

Explanation:

The Minimum transfer price is calculated by adding the variable cost per unit with the opportunity cost. In this case where the clock division is not operating at full capacity then the opportunity cost would be considered as $0.

Moreover, the division would be able to avoid a $0.5 cost per clock. Therefore, the variable cost will be $3.50 ($4 - $0.5) after eliminating the $0.5.

Finally, the minimum transfer would as follows:

Minimum Transfer Price = Variable cost + Opportunity Cost

Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50 + $0

Minimum Transfer Price = $3.50

A bond has yield to maturity of 7.15 percent; face value of $1,000; time to maturity of 11 years and pays coupons semiannually.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

6.34 %

Explanation:

For computing the coupon rate, first we have to determine the PMT by using the PMT formula that is shown on the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $939.02

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 7.15% ÷ 2 = 3.58%

NPER = 11 years × 2 = 22 years

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate;NPER;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the PMT is $31.70

It is semi annually

Now the annual PMT is

= $31.70 × 2

= $63.40

So, the coupon rate equals to

= $63.40 ÷ $1,000

= 6.34 %
