Answer:
Net profit is more important to consider because it accounts for all the costs associated with making and selling the product and it includes the operating expenses that are excluded from gross profit. Gross profit is the profit made after deducting costs associated with making and selling its products, or the costs associated with providing its services.
Answer:
(i) Q=300
(ii) Elasticity of Demand=-3.33 (elastic)
(iii) Income Elasticity= 2.5 (normal good)
(iv) Advertising Elasticity: 1.5
Explanation:
The Demand function is given by
(1) To solve (i) we need to replace P = 200, I = 150, and A = 30 in the demand equation:
(2) To find the price elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with price) we use the point price elasticity formula
From the above equation we get: 
Replacing in the elasticity formula
in absolute terms the elasticity is bigger than one so it is an elastic demand.
(3) For income elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with income), we proceed similarly as above. But the derivative is respect to income
[/tex]
Which is bigger than one, denoting this is a normal good because it's bigger than one.
(4) Advertising elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with expenditures in advertising), we proceed as before
Answer:
12.085 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt
Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :
after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)
= 5.20 %
therefore,
WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55
= 12.085 %
thus
the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %
