Answer:

c)-0.67

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the price elasticity equal to

Using this formula

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=dQ/dP*Q/P

Let plug in the formula

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=d(100-4p)/dp*p/100-4p

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=-4*p/100-4p

at p=$10

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=-4*$10/100-4($10)

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=-40/60

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=-2/3

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=-0.666

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)=-0.67 Approximately

Therefore the price elasticity equal to -0.67

What limits are placed on the government's power to tax?​
riadik2000 [5.3K]
The U.S. taxing power, while very broad, has important limitations. First, direct taxes must be apportioned, a very difficult requirement. Second, duties, imposts, and excises must be uniform—an easy-to-meet standard, but one which, if ignored, can be fatal to a statute.


P.S. I hope this helps

A firm has a net profit/pretax profit ratio of .6, a leverage ratio of 1.5, a pretax profit/EBIT of .7, an asset turnover ratio
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The answer is A.15.12%.

Explanation:

Please find the below for explanation and calculations:

We have EBIT = Pretax profit /0.7 = Net profit / (0.6 x 0.7) = 0.42 x Net Profit

=> Net profit / Sales = Profit margin =  0.42 x EBIT/ Sales = 0.42 x Return-on-sales = 2.52%;

Leverage ratio = Asset/ Equity = 1.5;

Sales / Asset = asset turn over ratio = 4;

Apply the Dupont model we have:

Return on Equity = Leverage ratio x Profit Margin x Leverage ratio = 2.52% x 1.5 x 4 = 15.12%.

Thus, the answer is A. 15.12%.
