Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

0.2 =5% / percentage change in price

percentage change in price = 5/0.2 = 25%

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.  

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

Supply is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity supplied.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

13.16%

Explanation:

In this question we use the RATE formula i.e shown in the attached spreadsheet

Given that,  

Present value = $725

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 9% ÷ 2 = $45

NPER = 16 years × 2 = 32 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 6.58% × 2 = 13.16%

A wire having a mass per unit length of 0.440 g/cm carries a 1.50-A current horizontally to the south. (a) What is the direction
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B = 0.287  Tesla

According to thumb rule the direction of magnet is to the east.

Explanation:

F = BiL sin∅

note that F = mg

B = magnetic field

i = current

therefore,

mg = BiLsin∅

Make B subject of the formula

B = mg/iLsin∅

m/L = mass per length of the wire and it is given in gram per centimeter . It should be converted to kg per meter.

m/L = 0.440 g/cm

convert to kg/m = 0.440 × 0.001 kg × 100 m = 0.044  kg/m

B = 9.8 × 0.044 / sin 90 × 1.50 × 1

B = 0.4312/ 1.50

B = 0.28746666666

B = 0.287  Tesla

According to thumb rule the direction of magnet is to the east.

Alexis Company was started in Year 1. At the end of Year 1 the Company had the following accounting equation.Assets = Liabilitie
swat32

Answer:

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = 20%

Explanation:

<u>Calculation of Cash at the end of Year 2 </u>

Cash balance at the end of Year 1     $600

Less: Paid off to notes payable          ($500)

Add: Earned cash revenue                 $700

Less: Paid cash expenses                   ($400)

Less: Paid cash dividend                     <u>($100)</u>

Cash balance at the end of Year 2    <u>$300</u>

Notes payable at the end of Year 2 = Beginning balance - Paid off

= $1,000 - $500

= $500

<u>Calculation of Notes Payable at the end of Year 2 </u>

Notes Payable at the end of Year 1     $1000

Less: Paid off to notes payable            <u>($500)</u>

Notes Payable at the end of Year 2 <u>$500</u>

Total assets at the end of Year 2 = Cash + Land

= $300+2200

= $2500

Creditors at the end of the Year 2 (Notes payable) = $500

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = Creditors * 100 / Total assets

= $500 * 100 / $2500

= 20%
