Answer:

The correct answer is:

Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous. (D)

Explanation:

First, note that if the price of coffee beans, used in the manufacture of coffee decreases, the price of coffee sold to consumers will decrease, because it takes a lesser amount in manufacturing than it used to, therefore this reduction in manufacturing costs is reflected in the selling price.

Next, it is hard to tell whether this reduction in equilibrium price will affect quantity demanded, because, at the same time, the price of cream ( a complementary good) increases, and since both goods are complementary, they are bought together, and the effect of the reduction in the price of coffee might not necessarily caused an increase in the quantity demanded because this effect is cancelled out by the increase in the price of cream, hence the effect on quantity is ambiguous.

Irina18 [472]

Answer: threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level.

Explanation:

A contestable market has competition such that sellers cannot unilaterally decide to sell at a certain price. They have to sell at a competitive price that is set by the market to ensure that goods are allocated efficiently.

If the prices attempt to rise above this competitive level, new sellers will enter the market so as to make a profit which would have the effect of driving the price back down to where it was and even lower if even more sellers come in. The price is therefore maintained to ensure that this does not happen.

Nunavet Ocean Cruises sold an issue of 12-year ​$1,000 par bonds to build new ships. The bonds pay​ 4.85% interest, semi-annuall
frez [133]

Answer:

bond market value $660

Explanation:

We need to calculate the present value of the maturity and the cuopon payment using the effective rate of 9.7%

First we do the annuity:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C  24.25  (1,000 face value x 4.85 bond rate / 2 )

time  24.00 (12 year 2 payment a year)

rate  0.04850 (current rate divide by 2 to get it annually)

24.25 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0485)^{-24} }{0.0485} = PV\\

PV $339.55

Then present value of the maturity

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00 the face value of the bond

time   24.00

rate   0.04850

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0485)^{24} } = PV  

PV   320.89

Finally we add them together:

PV coupon payment $339.5545

PV maturity  $320.8910

Total $660.4455

rounding to nearest dollar

bond market value $660

uppose the annual demand function for the Honda Accord is Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PGwhere PA and PC are the prices of the
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Qd = 400 units

elasticity of demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry = 0.5

elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline = -0.075

Explanation:

Solution:

The annual demand function for the Honda Accord is:

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Where,

PA = Price of Honda Accord

PC = Price of Honda Camry

PG = Price of Gasoline per gallon.

Selling Price of both cars = $20,000

Fuel Cost = $3 per gallon.

a) Elasticity of Demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry.

First, we need to calculate the number of units demanded.

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Qd = 430 – 10 (20) + 10 (20) – 10 (3.00)

Qd = 430 - 200 + 200 - 30

Qd = 430 - 30

Qd = 400 units

Cross-price elasticity of the Accord with respect to the price of the Camry will be:

Cross Price = (dQd/dPC) x (PC)/(Qd)

dQd/dPC = 10

PC = 20

Qd = 400

So,

Cross Price = 10* 20/400

Cross Price  = 0.5

b) Elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline?

Elasticity =  (dQd/dPG)*(PG/Qd)

dQd/dPG = -10

PG = 20

Qd = 400

Elasticity  = (-10)*(3/400)

Elasticity  =  -0.075

andriy [413]

Answer:

$72,700

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing cost = $70,000

Sales tax = $700

Freight charges = $800

Shipping charges = $150

Repair charges = $1,300

Installation cost = $1,050

Now,

Cost of the equipment  

= Purchasing cost + Sales tax + Freight charges + Shipping charges + Installation cost

= $70,000 + $700 + $800 + $150 + $1,050

= $72,700

Note: Repair cost is not included in the cost.

Elena-2011 [213]

The current share price is approximately $69.47

<h3>What is the Share price?</h3>
  • The cost of one share of a group of marketable equity shares of a firm is known as the share price.
  • Simply put, the stock price is either the lowest possible price or the maximum price someone is ready to pay for the stock.
  • Analysts estimate the behavior of asset prices, especially share prices in stock markets, using random walk approaches in economics and financial theory.
  • The share price method is predicated on the idea that investors behave logically and impartially and constantly appraise the value of an asset based on expectations for the future.
  • In such a scenario, the price is influenced by all available information and is only subject to alteration in response to the release of new information.

Share price = $13.5 × Present value of annuity factor(11%,8)

Share price =$13.5 × 5.146122761

Share price =$69.47(Approx).

Hence, the current share price is approximately $69.47
