Answer:

The answer to the following question is: (-9.34)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = -0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6

The price elasticity of demand = ( change in quality / change in price)

     =   (dp / dx)  (x/p)

     =   d / dx   (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)   x / p

     =   (-0.14x - 0.7)  x/ (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

elasticity = (-0.14x^2 - 0.7x) / (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

at x=5;

elasticity = (-0.14(5)^2 - 0.7(5)) / (-0.07 (5)^2 - 0.7(5)  + 6)

              = (-3.5 - 3.5) / (-1.75 - 3.5 + 6)

              =  -7/ 0.75 = -9.333

              = -9.34

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000

direct labor, $250,000

factory utilities, $105,000

<u>The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.</u>

<u></u>

Manufacturing overhead= 133,000 + 105,000= 238,000

Direct labor= 250,000

Conversion costs= $488,000

Henrietta, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into
klio [65]

Answer:

Total deduction for the year = $48,956

Explanation:

You can deduct investigation expenses but only for new business that is in the same industry as your current business. In this case, Henrietta incurred in $42,500 expenses trying to expand her hotel business. Total deduction for the current year = $42,500.

If the investigation expenses are not related to your current business, e.g. restaurants, then you can capitalize the costs and amortize them only if you actually carried out the expansion.

You can deduct up to $5,000 during the first year but this amount decreases by $1 for every dollar above $50,000. Total immediate deduction = $4,400. The remaining $46,200 must be amortized over 180 months. Amortization per month = $46,200 / 180 = $257

Total amortization for year 1 = 8 months x $257 = $2,056

Total deduction for the year = $42,500 + $4,400 + $2,056 = $48,956

A project with a zero net present value indicates that it is acceptable. unacceptable. going to have an acceptable cash payback
horsena [70]

Answer:

acceptable.

Explanation:

Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service.

Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.

The net present value (NPV) of a project can be defined as the difference between present value of cash-inflow into a project and that of cash-outflow over a specific period of time. Thus, it is simply the value of all cash-flows for a project with respect to its life span.

A project with a zero net present value indicates that it is acceptable.

This ultimately implies that, investors and project managers are advised to only invest in projects that are having a positive net present value that is greater than or equal to zero.

Quinn contracts to provide ten tons of scrap steel at $500 per ton to Rendered Materials, Inc. An unforeseen shortage of scrap s
solong [7]

Answer:

C) ​performance of the contract is commercially impracticable.

Explanation:

Contract law contemplates certain situations where performing the contract is either difficult or impossible and therefore the party is not liable for breaching the contract.

Commercial impracticability applies to contracts where the performance of at least one party is impracticable and cannot be accomplished.

In this case, Quinn cannot perform his duty since the price of scrap steel increased beyond any reasonable price contemplated in the contract. Since Quinn is not responsible for setting the price of scrap steel, he is not liable for breaching the contract.
