Answer:
0.73
Explanation:
Given that
WACC = 11%
Tax rate = 34%
Cost of equity = 14.9 %
Cost of debt = 8.6%
Recall that
WACC = (cost of equity × % of equity) + (cost of debt × % of debt) + ( 1 - tax rate)
We are to find
Cost of debt and cost of equity
Let
Cost of debt be x
Cost of equity be (1 - x)
Thus,
0.11 = (1 - x)(0.149) + (x)(0.086)(1 - 0.34)
x = 0.4228
Therefore,
Debt-equity ratio
= Cost of debt/cost of equity
= 0.4228/(1 - 0.4228)
= 0.73
Answer:
d. at least two different markets with different price elasticities of demand
Explanation:
The theory of microeconomics about price differentiation is based on the concept of elasticity of demand. Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.
For price discrimination to take place, the offeror must be able to sell the same product at different prices to at least two different groups. This will depend on the price elasticity of consumer demand for the good in each of the markets. Thus, if one group is less elastic than the other, the offeror will be able to sell the goods at different prices.
An example: air market. Consumers are often more price sensitive when traveling for tourism than for business. Thus, a higher price may be charged to executives. which has lower price elasticity of demand than tourists.
Answer:
(i) Q=300
(ii) Elasticity of Demand=-3.33 (elastic)
(iii) Income Elasticity= 2.5 (normal good)
(iv) Advertising Elasticity: 1.5
Explanation:
The Demand function is given by
(1) To solve (i) we need to replace P = 200, I = 150, and A = 30 in the demand equation:
(2) To find the price elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with price) we use the point price elasticity formula
From the above equation we get: 
Replacing in the elasticity formula
in absolute terms the elasticity is bigger than one so it is an elastic demand.
(3) For income elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with income), we proceed similarly as above. But the derivative is respect to income
[/tex]
Which is bigger than one, denoting this is a normal good because it's bigger than one.
(4) Advertising elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with expenditures in advertising), we proceed as before
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the outstanding checks is shown below:
For the November end
= Checks - presented in the bank
= $10,230 - $8,240
= $1,990
For the December end
= Checks - presented in the bank + presented in th bank - checks
= $10,230 - $8,240 + $11,815 - $10,655
= $3,150
We simply applied the above formula
