Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Given that

Price = P = $90

And, the Marginal cost = MC = $18

a.

Now the markup would be

= (P - MC) ÷ P

= ($90 - $18) ÷ $90

= $72 ÷ $90

= 0.80

= 80%

Now the monopoly markup is

b.

As we know that

Monopoly, markup = 1 ÷ elasticity of demand(e)

e = 1 ÷ markup

= 1 ÷ 0.8

= 1.25

The absolute value of e would always be negative so e = -1.25

Therefore

The​ firm s price elasticity of demand is -1.25

If a 10% decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8% increase in quantity demanded of that product, will anot
Bad White [126]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

to determine if another 10% decrease in the price cause another 8% increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded, we have to determine the price elasticity of demand.

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

8% / 10% = 0.8

demand in inelastic so a 10% reduction in price would lead to a less than 8% change in quantity demanded  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Ambiguity can arise as to whether receivables have been sold or instead are being used as collateral for a loan whenever certain
victus00 [196]

Answer:

is whether the transferor surrenders control over the receivables

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

initial outlay $40,000

savings per year = $5,200

additional contribution margin = 2,000 x $2.40 = $4,800

machines useful life = 6 years

1) total annual cash flows (assuming no residual value)

Year₀ = -$40,000

Year₁ = $5,200 + $4,800 = $10,000

Year₂ = $10,000

Year₃ = $10,000

Year₄ = $10,000

Year₅ = $10,000

Year₆ = $10,000

2) to determine IRR we can use a financial calculator or the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = annual payment x annuity factor

PV = $40,000

annual payment = $10,000

annuity factor = $40,000 / $10,000 = 4

3) using present value of an annuity table:

we have 6 periods, and we must look for an interest rate that results in an annuity factor of 4 = 13% (the exact annuity factor is 3.998)

using a financial calculator, the IRR = 12.98%, which we can round to 13%

4) the cash flows will be:

Year₀ = -$40,000

Year₁ = $10,000

Year₂ = $10,000

Year₃ = $10,000

Year₄ = $10,000

Year₅ = $10,000

Year₆ = $20,515

We cannot use the annuity formula now because our annuities are not equal. Using a financial calculator, IRR = 16.99%
