Answer: Price of cereals must fall by 12%

Explanation:

A 10% rise in the price of milk will lead to a fall in quantity demanded by =-0.9 * 10= 9%.  

To prevent the demand for cereals from falling by 9%, the price of cereals must fall by

E = \frac{Percentage change in Qd}{Percentage change in price}

Percentage change in price = \frac{Percentage change in Qd}{e}

Percentage change in price = \frac{9}{-0.75}

Percentage change in price = -12%

Thus, to offset the effect of a 10% rise in price of milk, the price of cereals must fall by 12%.

The following partial information is taken from the comparative balance sheet of Levi Corporation: Shareholders’ equity 12/31/20
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$29.6 million per share

Explanation:

Additional share issued = (Issued and shares outstanding 2021 + Additional paid-in capital on common stock 2021) - (Issued and shares outstanding 2020 + Additional paid-in capital on common stock 2020)

Additional share issued = (110 million + 527 million) - (95 million + 394 million)

Additional share issued = 637 million - 489 million

Additional share issued = $148 million

Average price paid = Additional share issued / $5

Average price paid = $29.6 million per share
