Answer:
The elasticity is about 1.43, and an increase in the price will cause hotels' total revenue to decrease
Explanation:
The formula of the midpoint for the variation of the quantity is 
and for the price is 
. With the variation of the price and the quantity the elasticity formula is ΔQ/ΔP. Replacing the elasticity is -1.43
The price elasticity of the demand is bigger than 1, that means that the demand is elastic, every increase of the price will cause a bigger decrease of the quantity, the revenue will drop because the increase of the price do not compansete the decrease of the quantity.
Answer:
e) perfectly elastic
Explanation:
Elasticity is a measure of the sensitivity of demand to the price of a product. If demand is elastic, bidders should avoid raising prices as demand decreases considerably. Conversely, when demand is inelastic, consumers are less sensitive to price changes. When demand is perfectly elastic, this means that a slight increase in the price of a good will cause all demand to flow to a competing supplier. This is observed in competitive markets where providers provide the same type of good for the market price. If one of them raises the price, he loses all of his market share. This is because consumers are rational and will buy the product that is offered at the lowest possible price.
In a perfectly competitive market bell computers will cause profits to increase by producing one more.
A hypothetical market system is referred to as perfect competition. Perfect competition offers a valuable model for illustrating how supply and demand influence pricing and behaviour in a market economy, despite perfect competition seldom occurring in actual markets.
One of the most efficiently operating markets is one with perfect competition, when a large number of buyers and suppliers cooperate perfectly. Sadly, it is a hypothetical event that does not occur in the real world. But in order to guarantee a fair price for all goods and services, markets should strive to be as similar to this type of market as feasible.

Answer:
7.85%
Explanation:
Face value of bond =$2000
Price of current bond= face value× 106.5% = $2130
Term= 25 years×2= 50 period
Coupon rate= 7%×1/2= 3.5%
Coupon amount= coupon rate×face value = $2000×3.5/100
=$70 for a period
YTM of bond= [coupon amount+ (maturity value-current price)/Term]/0.6×current price+0.4×maturity value]
YTM of bond= 6.487% per annum
Total market value of bond= 8,400bonds× $2130= $17,892,000
Market value of common stock= 275,000shares × 62.50= $18012500
Weight of common stock= 0.490009385
Weight of preferred stock= 0.023259294
WACC= Wd* Kd + Wc*Kc + Wp*Kp
= 0.486731321× 4.86525% +
0.490009385× 10.9624275+
0.023259294× 4.7368421%
=7.849%
= 7.85%(rounded)
Thus, WACC is 7.85%
Answer:
b) 100 cars per day.
Explanation:
With the information above, we can conclude that each worker washes 20 cars per day, and earns a wage of $60 per day.
So the total labor costs per day is $60 wage per worker X 4 workers = $240
The total sales revenue per day is: 80 cars washed per day X $5 per wash = $400.
So, we can see that with four workers, the firm has a good profit of = $400 - $240 = $160.
If the firm hired a fifth worker, labor costs would increase to $320 ($240 + $60), the amount of cars washed would increase to 100, and the sales revenue would increase to $500 (100 x $5).
So, profits would increase to $180 ($500 - $320) if the firm hired a fifth worker.
However, productivity should still be stable, so a worker who washed less than 20 cars per day should not be hired, this is why the A option is wrong.
