Answer:

Slope = -1

Explanation:

Demand is buyers ability & willingness to buy at a price, time.

Demand Curve is graphical representation of quantity demanded at various prices at y axis, demand at x axis.

Slope = Change in Y i.e ∆Y / Change in X i.e ∆X

'Slope of Demand Curve' is a varied version of 'Price Elasticity of Demand' i.e quantity demanded responsiveness to change in price. Former shows relative change in quantity demanded over a change in price & latter shows change in price for a given change in quantity demanded.

Demand Curve Price at Y axis, Quantity at Axis, Slope= ∆Y/∆X becomes

= ∆P/∆Q. As per given details, ∆P/∆Q = (9-10)/(5-4) = -1/1 = -1

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the present value of the stock, we will use the following formula,

Present value = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +

[(Dn * (1+g)  /  (r - g))  /  (1+r)^n]

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the constant growth rate in dividends
  • n is the number of years

Present value = 5 / (1+0.155)  +  6.25 / (1+0.155)^2  + 4.75 / (1+0.155)^3  +  

3 / (1+0.155)^4  +  [(3 * (1+0.07)  /  (0.155 - 0.07))  /   (1+0.155)^4]

Present value = $35.00326585 rounded off to $35.00

Answer:

Total= $77,300

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

lost, damaged, and stolen merchandise normally amounted to 5 percent of the inventory balance. On June 14, Essary's warehouse was destroyed by fire. Just before the fire, the accounting records contained a $136,000 balance in the Inventory account. However, inventory costing $16,900 had been sold and delivered to customers but had not been recorded in the books at the time of the fire. The fire did not affect the showroom, which contained inventory that cost $35,000.

Accounting record= 136,000

Normal Damaged merchandise= 136,000*0.05= 6,800 (-)

Sold inventory= 16,900 (-)

Showroom= 35,000 (-)

Total= $77,300
