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.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost

Explanation:

Sunk costs refer to those costs which have been incurred in the past, which are non recoverable and which have no current or future benefits.

Sunk costs are considered as irrelevant for decision making process as they do not relate to current period and have no future implications. For example, research and development expenditure incurred in the past represents a sunk cost.

In the given case, the ticket for opera was already purchased for $100 which can now neither be recovered nor transferred. Thus this cost is irrelevant for decision making as expenditure has already been made. When Shen decided to go for a party instead of the concert, Shen has correctly ignored a sunk cost.

The Nixon Corporation’s common stock has a beta of 1.7. If the risk-free rate is 4.8 percent and the expected return on the mark
Archy [21]

Answer:

13.64%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4.8% + 1.7 × (10% - 4.8%)

= 4.8% + 1.7 × 5.2%

= 4.8% + 8.84%

= 13.64%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also called market risk premium

Marcus (20) attends State University and is a qualifying student for the purpose of the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC).
hodyreva [135]

The maximum AOTC that can be claimed by Andre’s parents is $2,500.

American Opportunity Tax Credit means a tax credit on education expenses which are incurred within first four years of a student’s higher education.

  • The full tax credit is allowed when modified adjusted gross income is $160,000 or less.

  • 100% of first $2000 spent on education expenses and 25% of next $2000 of qualifying education expenses.

Maximum AOTC = $ 2000 + (0.25 × $2000)

Maximum AOTC = $2000 + $ 500

Maximum AOTC = $2500

Therefore, the maximum AOTC that can be claimed by Andre’s parents is $2,500.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

$105,075

Explanation:

The computation of the operating income is shown below:

Sales (4 × 69,500)                                              $278,000

Less:Variable costs (0.95 × 69,500 + 5% × 278,000)  $79,925

Contribution margin                                                     $198,075

Less: fixed cost (13,000 + 80,000)                      $93,000

Net operating income                                                 $105,075

We simply deduct the variable cost and the fixed cost from the sales to arrive at the net operating income
