Answer:

operating leverage= 0.17

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $400,000

Variable costs= 75% of sales

Operating income= $40,000

To calculate the operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:

operating leverage= fixed costs/total costs

Fixed costs= (400,000*0.25) - 40,000= 60,000

Total costs= 400,000*0.75 + 60,000= 360,000

operating leverage= 60,000/360,000

operating leverage= 0.17

You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is

sasho [114]

Answer: $25078

Explanation:

Firstly, we'll find the real interest rate which will be:

(1 + R) = (1 + r)(1 + h)

(1 + 10%) = (1 + r)(1 + 4.8%)

(1 + 0.1) = (1 + r)(1 + 0.048)

1.1 = (1 + r)(1.048)

r = 4.96%.

Now the annual deposit will be gotten by using the annuity future value which will be:

3 million = C(1.0496^40-1) / 0.0496

3 million = C(5.3995) / 0.0496

3 million = 119.627C

C = 3 million/119.627

C = 25078

Therefore, the real amount that must be deposited each year to achieve the goal is $25078

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an Ordinary Annuity question. You can solve this using a financial calculator. I'm using (TI BA II Plus)

N; duration = 20

I/Y ; interest rate per year = 8.5%

PMT ; recurring annual payment = 70,000

FV; Future value = 0 (In solving annuities, use 0 if not given)

then CPT PV = ?

PV = 662,433.563

All of the following are determinants of demand elasticity EXCEPT a. whether the purchase of the product can be delayed b. wheth

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. whether the product has utility.

Explanation:

The demand elasticity is a concept that explains the elasticity of the consumer in terms of buying a product while its price rises.

All of the factors given in the question are a part of this concept except whether the product has utility.

The reason is that when a consumer buys something, the utility of that desire is not measured. If people have a high demand elasticity, they would buy the most priciest of things which have no utility as such.
