Answer:

B. Changes in response to a change in volume, but not proportionately.

Explanation:

A semi variable cost (or mixed cost) is a cost or expense that is partially fixed (does not change according to production output) and is also partially variable (changes according to production output). An example of semi variable costs are utilities which have a fixed minimum level per month and they increase as production output increases. Another example is the cost of a car, where insurance and lease payments are fixed but gas and maintenance expenses vary according to the number of miles driven.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Aji Fatou and Mustapha both obey the two-period model of consumption. Aji Fatou earns $100 in the first period and $100 in the second period. Mustapha earns nothing in the first period $210 in the second period. Both of them can borrow or lend at the interest rate r. You observe both Aji Fatou & Mustapha consuming $100 in the first period and $100 in the second period. Suppose the interest rate increases. The increase in interest rate will make Aji Fatou better off in both period.

a. True

Assume that you can receive $500,000, $515,000, and $600,000 over a 3 year period and the present value of those sums at 8% is $

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

present value = $500,000/1.08 + $515,000/1.08² + $600,000/1.08³ = $1,380,791.80

you calculated the present value correctly, assuming that you receive the annual payments at the end of each year (ordinary annuity).

but if you receive the annual payment at the beginning of the year (annuity due) = $500,000 + $515,000/1.08 + $600,000/1.08² = $1,493,255

it's not exactly the same value, but it is much closer and you could assume that the difference is due to rounding: ($1,493,255 - $1,495,370) / $1,495,370 = -0.1%

Last year Thomson Inc's earnings per share were $3.50, and its growth rate during the prior 5 years was 11.0% per year. If that

Semmy [17]

Answer:

10.52 years

Explanation:

We can work out the number of years using this relationship

V =P× (1+r)^n

V= tribe valeu = 3×3.5 = 10.5

r-growth rate -11%

n- number of years- ?

10.5 = 3.5× (1.11)^n

<em>dividing both sides by 1.11^n</em>

1.11^n = 10.5/3.5

<em>taking the log of both sides</em>

n log 1.11 = log 3

n = log 3/log 1.11

n =10.52

Suppose that when the price of jelly rises by 20%, the quantity of peanut butter demanded at the current price of peanut butter

hodyreva [135]

Answer: 0.2

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand refers to the amount that the quantity demanded for a good changes by in response to a change in income.

The formula is therefore:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded of Peanut butter / Percentage change in income

= 2% / 10%

Income elasticity of demand = 0.2
