Answer: return on equity

Explanation:

The return on equity is simply a measure of how profitable a business will be when it's being compared to its equity. Return on equity is the net income divided by the equity. It can also be gotten when liabilities is deducted from assets.

In the above analysis, return on equity equals 5% because 100 cents make 1 dollar. Therefore, 5/100 × 100 gives 5%.

Answer

What is Income Elasticity of Demand?

Income elasticity of demand is the ratio of percentage change in quantity of a product demanded to percentage change in the income level of consumer. It is a measure of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in consumers income.

Income elasticity of demand indicates whether a product is a normal good or an inferior good. When the quantity demanded of a product increases with an increase in the level of income and decreases with decrease in level of income, we get a positive value for income elasticity of demand. A positive income elasticity of demand stands for a normal (or superior) good. When the quantity demanded of a product or service decreases in response to an increase and increases in response to decrease in the income level, the income elasticity of demand is negative and the product is an inferior good.

Formula

Income Elasticity of Demand Ei%\ Change in Quantity Demanded%\ Change in Consumers Income

Percentages are calculated using the mid-point formula, i.e. by dividing the change in quantity by average of initial and final quantities, and change in income by the average of initial and final values of income. Therefore:

Income Elasticity of Demand - Ei = Qf - Qi ÷ Qf + Qi ÷ 2 ÷ If - Ii / If + Ii ÷2

Income Elasticity of Demand - Ei = % Change in Quantity Demanded ÷ % change in consumer Income

Where:

Qf - is the final initial quantities demanded of the product,

Qi - is initial quantities demanded of the product,

If - is the final incomes of consumer

Ii - is the initial incomes of consumer.

∴

Question

What is her income elasticity of demand for thingamabobs?

Solution:

From the Problem, it can be deduced that -

Qf - assume it to be 60 since it is not given

Qi - assume it to be 50 thingamabobs?

If - assume it to be 40% since it is not given

Ii - 30%

Assume the % increase in Income to be

∴

Ei = 60 -50/ 60 + 50 ÷ 2 ÷ 40 - 30 / 40 + 30 ÷ 2

Ei = 10/110 /2 ÷ 10/70 ÷ 2

Ei = 10/11 X 70/10 ÷ 2

Ei = 10/55 x 14

Ei = 28/11 = 0.73%

Therefore the Income elasticity of demand for Adrina is 0.73 %

A 4-year project has an annual operating cash flow of $42,000. At the beginning of the project, $6,000 in net working capital wa

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Total cash flow $54,613

Explanation:

The computation of the year 4 cash flow is given below:

Selling price of equipment $6,920

Book value at year 4 end $5,460

Capital gain $1,460

Tax on capital gain at 21% $306.6

So, net cash flow from the sale of equipment

= $6,920 - $307

= $6,613

Now year 4 cash flow is

Annual operating cash flow $42,000

Release of working capital $6,000

Net cash flow form sale of equipment $6,613

Total cash flow $54,613

Eva, the owner of eva's second time around wedding dresses, currently has five dresses to be altered, shown in the order in whic

AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is 2.2 hours.

If Eva uses the earliest due date priority rule, the order of the dresses will be as follows: W (1 hour processing time, 1 hour due); Y (2 hrs processing time, 3 hrs due); V (3 hrs processing time, 5 hrs due); Z (5 hrs processing time, 7 hrs due); X (4 hrs processing time, 9 hrs due).

It's easier to do the next step using real numbers. For example, if it's 11am now and W is due in 1 hour, then W is due at noon. If Y is due in 3 hours, then Y is due at 2pm, etc. Then, you need to use the processing time to see how long it will take to make the dresses. For example, since W takes one hour to process, it will be done by noon, its due date.

This means that W and Y will be altered on time, V will be 1 hour late, Z will be 4 hours late, and X will be 6 hours late. To find the average tardiness, add these extra hours (1+4+6) = 11, and divide by the total number of dresses (even the ones that weren't late) 5: 11/5 = 2.2 hours.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

A. Overconfidence effect

Explanation:

Overconfidence effect is a kind of bias whereby individual's subjective confidence in their own abilities is greater than the objective or actual performance accuracy of those abilities. During surveys, respondents usually have this kind of bias. An example is the one stated in the question whereby average people tend to fill that they are "above average" on certain features like intelligence and perceptiveness. It is a common bias as individuals usually assume that they are better than their real ability by overestimating those abilities inherently.
