Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that smartphones are a normal good and income of the individuals increases because of economic boom. We know that there is a direct relationship between the income of an individual and demand for normal goods.

Increase in the income level of the individuals will result in higher demand for smartphones. This will shift the demand curve of smartphones rightwards.

Simultaneously, the wages of sales representatives who work for cell phone companies also increases. This will increase the cost of production for the firms and shifts the supply curve of smartphones leftwards.

Hence, the equilibrium price of smartphones increases but the effect on equilibrium quantity is indeterminate because its effect will be depend upon the magnitude of the shift of supply and demand curve.

Calculate the present value of the after tax net returns to land in the 7th year if thereal pre-tax net returns to land today ar
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Number of year = 7

Pre-tax net returns (Fn) = $100

Growth rate = 4% = 0.04

Inflation = 3% = 0.03

Marginal tax rate = 30% = 0.3

Discount rate = 10% = 0.1

Computation:

Fn = Fo(1+g)ⁿ = 100(1.04)⁷

Fn = 131.6

Nominal net returns = 131.6(1.03)⁷

Nominal net returns = 161.85

After tax return = 161.85  (1 - 0.3)

After tax return = 113.30

After-tax, risk adjusted discount rate = 0.1(1-0.3) = 7%

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 113.30 (1+0.07)⁻⁷

PV(after-tax net return in 7th year) = 70.55 (Approx)

Assume lawyer services are priced by the hour and elasticity of demand for a particular lawyer is 0.6. If she were to increase h
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

C. Fall, 30%, Rise

Explanation:

  • Price Elasticity of Demand is responsive change in demand, due to change in price.

P.Ed = % change in demand / % change in price.

Given : Price rise by 50% , P.Ed = 0.6

So, % change in demand = P.ed x % change in price

% change in demand = 0.6 (50)

% change in demand = 30%

Law of demand states negative relationship between price & demand, so P.ed is negative. Price rise 50% reduces demand by 30%.

  • P.Ed can be : Elastic ( > 1 ), or Inelastic ( < 1 ).  If P.Ed is Elastic, price & total revenue are inversely related. If P.Ed is Inelastic, price & total revenue are directly related.

So, Given PEd = 0.6 (i.e < 1 ) : Inelastic Demand implies price & total revenue are directly related related to each other. So, price fall lead to TR fall & price rise lead to TR rise.

egoroff_w [7]

The U.S. government owes you $100.

Option 1 is correct .

Treasury Bills:

Treasury bills, or T-bills, have the shortest terms of all and are issued with maturity dates of four, eight, 13, 26, and 52 weeks.

Treasury Bill Characteristics:

Unlike Treasury bonds and notes, T-bills do not pay periodic interest payments to investors. Instead, Treasury bills are auctioned off to investors at a discount to their face value. The investor's return is the difference between the face value and the discount price paid at purchase.

How Do You Cash a Treasury Bond?

For Treasury bonds held with a bank or broker, consult the institution to redeem them.

For Treasury bonds in Treasury Direct (electronically), investors don't need to take any action since the bond will be cashed out at maturity and deposited into your account as long as you supply your bank information to Treasury Direct.

Treasury Bonds :

Treasury bonds, called T-bonds for short, are often referred to as long bonds because they take the longest to mature of the government-issued securities. Treasury bonds are offered to investors in terms of 20 and 30 years to maturity.

The Cromwell Company sold equipment for $35,000. The equipment, which originally cost $120,000 and had an estimated useful life
Alla [95]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Original Cost -$120,000

Useful life -10 years

Residual Value - $20000

Annual depreciation - $(120,000-20000)/10 = $10,000

Accumulated depreciation for 4 years = 10*4= $40000

Book value at disposal = $120,000-$40000= $80000

Sales value = $35,000

Loss on disposal = $80,000-$35000= $45,000
