Answer: -0.5

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the price elasticity of demand will be calculated as follows:

= dQ/dP × P/Q

where,

dQ/dP = -1

P = 100

Q = 200 – P + 25 U – 50 P beer

Q = 200 - 100 + 25(8) - 50(2)

Q = 200 - 100 + 200 - 100

Q = 200

Therefore, dQ/dP × P/Q

= -1 × (100/200)

= -1 × 1/2

= -1 × 0.5

= -0.5

The price elasticity of demand is -0.5.

harina [27]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The preferred stock is non-cumulative, and in previous years, the company has not skipped any dividends.

Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage

= 3300 × $103 × 7%

= $23,793

Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders

= $123,500 - $23,793

= $99,707

2. The preferred stock is non-cumulative, and in both of the two previous years, the company did not pay a dividend.

Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage

= 3300 × $103 × 7%

= $23,793

Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders

= $123,500 - $23,793

= $99,707

3. The preferred stock is cumulative, and in both of the two previous years the company did not pay a dividend.

Dividend paid to preferred shareholders =  Shares × Par value preferred stock × Shares percentage × Number of years

= 3,300 × $103 × 7% × 3

= $71,379

Dividend paid to common shareholders = Cash dividend - Dividend paid to preferred shareholders

= $123,500 - $71,379

= $52,121

On January 1, 20X8, Polo Corporation acquired 75 percent of Stallion Company's voting common stock for $300,000. At the time of
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Polo will report $318,750 as its investment in Stallion at December 31, 20X8

Explanation:

Common stock = $300,000 acquired at 75%

Net income = $40,000

Pay dividends = $10,000

Increase in value of Patent = $50,000    

Economic Life = 10    

Amortization = $5,000    

Therefore, the $ 5000 would be reduced from the net income.

Investments in Polo = $300,000 + [0.75 × (40000 - 10000 - 5000)]

= $300,000+ 0.75(25,000)  

= $300,000+ $18,750    

= $318,750

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Present value= $3,642,651.54

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You have just won the lottery and will receive $530,000 in one year. You will receive payments for 25 years, and the payments will increase by 4 percent per year. The appropriate discount rate is 10 percent.

First, we need to calculate the final value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payment= 530,000

i= 0.04 + 0.10= 0.14

n= 25

FV= {530,000*[(1.14^25)-1]}/0.14

FV= 96,391,538.43

Now, we can calculate the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 96,391,538.43/ (1.14^25)

PV= $3,642,651.54
