How do compliments and substitutes affect demand ?

1 answer:

5 0

When examining how price and demand changes will affect markets, it is important to consider how various goods are related. We can separate goods into 2 basic types: substitutes and complements. ... When the price increases for one good, the demand for the substitute will increase (assuming that price remains constant).

You are holding a stock that has a beta of 1.39 and is currently in equilibrium. The required return on the stock is 20.47%, and

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 26.73%

Explanation:

You can calculate the expected return using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Formula is:

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

Use the previous figures to solve for the risk free rate:

20.47% = Rf + 1.39 * (16.50% - Rf)

20.47% = Rf + 22.935% - 1.39R

20.47% - 22.935% = Rf - 1.39Rf

-2.465% = -0.39Rf

Rf = -2.465% / -0.39

= 6.32%

New expected return is:

= 6.32% + 1.39 * (21% - 6.32%)

= 26.73%

The following information relates to the assets of Westfield Semiconductors as of December 31, 2019. Westfield uses the straight

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Asset Acquisition-Cost Expected-Life Residual-Value Time-Used

Land $104,300 Infinite $100,000 10 years

Building 430,000 25 years 30,000 10 years

Machine 285,000 5 years 10,000 2 years

Patent 80,000 10 years 0 3 years

Truck 21,000 100,000 miles 3,000 44,000 miles

Therefore, we have:

Building annual depreciation = ($430,000 - $30,000) / 25 = $16,000

Building net book value (NBV) = $430,000 - (16,000 * 10) = $270,000

Machine annual depreciation = ($285,000 - 10,000) / 10 = $27,500

Machine NBV = $285,000 - ($27,500 * 2) = $230,000

Patent annual amortization = $80,000 / 10 = $8,000

Patent net written down value = $80,000 - ($8,000 * 3) = $56,000

Truck accumulated depreciation = ($21,000 - 3,000) * (44,000 / 100,000) = $7,920

Truck NBV = $21,000 - $7,920 = 13,080

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

D. $45,000

Explanation:

The computation of the contribution margin for the Orlando store is

= Total sales × contribution margin percentage - Gainesville sales × contribution margin percentage

= $250,000 × 32% - $100,000 × 35%

= $80,000 - $35,000

= $45,000

Contribution margin is come from deducting Gainesville contribution margin from the total contribution margin

You’ve borrowed $23,072 on margin to buy shares in Ixnay, which is now selling at $41.2 per share. You invest 1,120 shares. Your

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

(a) Since the percentage margin is more than maintenance margin, there would be no call

(b) A margin call would be received when the price is $15.26

Explanation:

(a) Total investment = $23,072 × $\frac{100}{50}$ = $46,144

Total shares = Total investment ÷ share price

= $46,144 ÷ $41.2 = 1,120

Value of share in market = new price × number of shares

= $41 × 1,120

= $45,920

Value of equity = Value of share in the market - borrowed cash

= $45,920 - $23,072

= $22,848

Percentage margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares

= ($22,848 ÷ $45,920) × 100%

= 49.76%

(b) Total number of shares = 1,120

Assumed value of shares = $1,120X

Borrowed fund = $23,072

Value of equity = $1,120X - $23,072

Margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares

0.35 = ($1,120X - $23,072) ÷ $1,120X

392X = $1,120X - $23,072

1512X = $23,072

X = $15.26
