Answer:
2.2
Explanation:
The formula for calculating price elasticity using the midpoint method is:
midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}
midpoint method = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} / {(1.20 - 1) / [(1.20 + 1) / 2]}
midpoint method = [50 / (250 / 2)] / [0.20 / (2.20 / 2)] = (50 / 125) / (0.20 / 1.1)
midpoint method = 0.4 / 0.19 = 2.2
The advantage of using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity is that we can calculate the price elasticity between two points, and it doesn't matter if the price increases or decreases.
If we calculate price elasticity using the single point formula:
price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price = 50% / 20% = 2.5
Answer:
$700 (not given in the options)
Explanation:
When the policy is purchased with a payment made in advance, the entries recorded are
Debit prepaid insurance $8,400
Credit Cash account $8,400
After the first month, the expense incurred is
= 1/12 × $8,400
= $700
Entries then required
Debit Insurance expense $700
Credit Prepaid Insurance $700
Answer: historical exchange rate
Explanation:
The temporal method is also referred to as the historical method. Under this method, the currency of a foreign subsidiary is being converted into the currency of the parent company.
It should be noted that under the temporal method, the income statement items which relate to newly recognized assets and liabilities generally are remeasured using the historical exchange rate.
Answer:
14.58%
Explanation:
WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) + weight of preferred equity x dividend yield
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
r= 3% + 1.1 x 8 = 11.8
equity = 0.4 x 11.8% = 4.72
d = 0.4 x 5 x (1 -0.21) = 1.58
p = 0.2 x 6 = 1.2
11.8 + 1.58 + 1.2 =
