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

Which of the following best describes how to use a test-retest reliability estimate to assess reliability?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

d)

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the in order to test positively in reliability a test needs to provide the same output no matter how many times the same input is introduced. Therefore the best way to assess the reliability would be to administer the same test to different people at two different points in time and compare their test scores at time 2 with the scores at time 1

BT Alex Brown Analysts are evaluating Energen (NYSE: EGN) for possible inclusion in a small-cap oriented portfolio. EGN is a div
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is $1.14

Explanation:

D1=D0*(1+g)

D1 is year 1 dividend

g growth rate of dividend of 15%

D1=$0.54*(1+15%)

D1=$0.54*(1+0.15)

D1=$0.54*1.15

D1=$0.621 00

D2=$0.621*1.15

D2=$0.71415

We need to apply the discount factor to each of the dividends,the discount factor is 1/(1+r)^n

r is the rate of return of 11%

n is the relevant year

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.62100*1/(1+11%)^1

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.559459459

Present value of year 2=$0.71415*1/(1+11%)^2

Present value of year 2=$0.579620161

Total value present values=$0.559459459 +$0.579620161

                                            =$1.14
