Answer:
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Price elasticity of demand for beef, Ed = 0.60
Increase in the price of beef = 20%
Now,
Price elasticity of demand for beef,
Ed = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ [ Percentage change in price ]
or
0.60 = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 0.60 × 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 12%
Also,
Price and Quantity are inversely proportional
Hence,
With the increase in price, the quantity will decrease
Therefore,
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": in absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is a product cost.
Explanation:
Absorption costing or full costing includes all costs related to the production process like the fixed costs. Variable costing, on the other hand, only includes the variable costs from the production. Absorption costing incorporates allocating fixed overhead costs of each unit produced during a certain period.
Given:
<span>Fact 1: During contract negotiations, BB’s sales representative promised that the system was “A-1” and “perfect.”
</span><span>Fact 2: The written contract, which the parties later signed, disclaimed all warranties, express and implied.
</span><span>Fact 3: After installation the computer produced only random numbers and letters, rather than the desired accounting information
The express warranty is given in Fact 1 where the Sales Rep promised that the system was "A-1" and "perfect". There is a breach in express warranty here IF the written contract also expresses the same promises.
However, the written contract </span>disclaimed all warranties, express and implied. AND BOTH PARTIES SIGNED THIS CONTRACT. It implies that the buyer has read through the contract and has agreed with what is written in the contract. Thus, they can't file a suit against BB for breaching an express warranty since the written and signed contract has already disclaimed all warranties.
Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
preference share dividend is at 5% on $100 par value. The number of preference shares is 12,000 shares ( non cumulative)
The year 2017 preference share dividend pay out is 5% of 100 multiplied by 12,000 = $60,000
Deduct $ 60,000 from $144,000 dividend declared in 2017 , the balance is common stockholders dividend.
144,000 minus 60,000 = $84,000
Non cumulative preference shares dividend are paid first for the year the company declares dividend. The dividend is not cumulative ( prior years dividend for which company did not declare dividend are forfeited).
The common stockholders are paid dividend after preference shares dividend are paid. The common stockholders bears the full risk of the business as seen above. In event of liquidation, they are the last to be settled from realised asset of the bankrupt company.
Answer:
r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
- D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period
- r is the required rate of return
or market rate of return
Plugging in the values for P0, D1, and g, we can calculate the value of r or market rate of return on the stock to be,
37.73 = 3.70 / (r - 0.058)
37.73 * (r - 0.058) = 3.7
37.73r - 2.18834 = 3.7
37.73r = 3.7 + 2.18834
r = 5.88834 / 37.73
r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%
