Answer:

PED = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

  • % change in quantity demanded = [(30 - 50) / 50] x 100 = -40%
  • % change in price = [($24 - $12) / $12] x 100 = 100%

PED = -40% / 100% = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms

the demand is price inelastic since |0.4| < 1

this means that the change in quantity demanded is proportionally less than the change in price.

G) The possible reasons for the difference in P/E is due to the difference in EPS earned by each company and also the difference in stock price of each company's stock

Explanation:

Referring the the recent issue of the wall street Journal at NYSE-Composite Transactions

A) The Latest price of IBM stock = $191.08

B)  What are the annual dividend payment and the dividend yield on IBM stock

The annual dividend = $0.85 per share

dividend yield = 1.78%

C) calculate what the yield will become if yearly dividend is moved up to $1.50

first we find the price per share

price per share = annual dividend per share / current dividend yield

                         = 0.85 / 1.78%  = 0.85 / 0.0178 = $47.75

since we now have the price per share value we can now calculate the dividend yield

dividend yield = annual dividend / price per share

                       = $1.50 / $47.75 =  0.0314

                       = 3.14 %

D) Calculate the P/E on IBM stock

 = 13.74 times as it was traded for the last 12 months

E) calculate IBM's earnings per share using P/E

 earnings per share = Price / P/E

 Latest  price of IBM stock = $191.08

  P/E = 13.74

 earnings per share =  191.08 / 13.74  = $13.91

F) IBM's P/E  at 13.74 is higher than Exxon Mobil P/E at 11.29

G) The possible reasons for the difference in P/E is due to the difference in EPS earned by each company and also the difference in stock price of each company's stock

Assume a company's current ratio and acid-test ratio are less than 1.0 before it purchases inventory on credit. When it makes th
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: b. Its quick ratio decreases.

Explanation:

The Quick ratio is calculated net of inventory to determine if a company can cover its current liabilities with its more liquid current assets. The formula is to subtract Inventory from the Current Assets and then divided that by the Currency liabilities.

The Quick ratio will be less than before because the number of current assets will not change but the amount of current liabilities will change as the goods were purchased on credit. With a larger denominator, the resultant ratio will be less than before.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: C. Jill should focus on the business market and license the natural gas rights.

Ella has an offer to buy an item with a sticker price of $12,300 by paying $420 a month for 36 months. What interest rate is Ell
pentagon [3]

Answer:

18.65%

Explanation:

Cost = $12,300

Total Payment = $420 × 36

                        = $15,120

Difference in the cost and payment = $15,120 - $12,300 = $2,820

Interest rate is the ratio of the interest to the original cost of the item.

The interest is the difference between the amount paid and the actual cost.

Interest rate = ($2,820/$15,120) × 100%

= 18.65%
