Answer:

-3.88 or 3.88

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand

Using this formula

Price elasticity of Demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

Price elasticity of Demand =%∆QD / %∆P

Let plug in the formula

Price elasticity of Demand= (( 337 - 588 )/( 1.1- 0.99)) * ( 0.99 / 588 )

Price elasticity of Demand= (-251 / 0.11) * ( 0.0017)

Price elasticity of Demand= -22,81.8181 * 0.0017

Price elasticity of Demand= -3.88 or 3.88 ( absolute value)

Therefore the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand will be -3.88 or 3.88

g You will be receiving cash flows of: $2,000 today, $3,000 at end of year 1, $5,000 at end of year 3, and $7,000 at end of year
enot [183]

Answer:

The present value of the cashflows will be $12830.30

Explanation:

The present value of the cashflows can be calculated by dividing the cash flows by the appropriate discount rate and for the appropriate time period.

The present value of the given cash flows will be,

Present Value = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + .... + CFn / (1+r)^n

As the first payment is received today, it will already be in the present value so it will not be discounted.

Present value = 2000 + 3000 /  (1+0.1) + 5000 / (1+0.1)^3 + 7000 / (1+0.1)^5

Present value = $12830.295 rounded off to $12830.30
