Answer:
1. I feel like Pat's new strategy isn't ethical. Pat doesn't pay for the suits; he just buys them and then returns them. Pat benefits, but the store he gets the suits from doesn't. In fact, they are harmed from this transaction because they are unable to have the suit for others to buy while Pat has it. There could be consequences with this strategy. For example, the suit might be damaged, and Pat won't be able to return it. Another problem is that others might find out about Pat's strategy, and they might view them as unprofessional. This is a problem for Pat since the reason Pat wore those suits was to look professional.
2. The stores are harmed from this transaction. They are unable to sell the suits to other buyers. The stores lose potential customers, so the stores lose potential money.
3. The companies should record that Pat had bought the suit only to return it the next day, so that they can act accordingly when Pat or someone else comes back to "buy" a suit.

Answer:
A) PED = 1.1
B) demand is elastic
C) Danny's total revenue would decrease
Explanation:
we can calculate the price elasticity of demand using the formula:
PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = [(300 - 250) / 250] / [(2.25 - 2.75) / 2.75] = (50 / 250) / (-0.5 / 2.75) = 0.2 / 0.18 = 1.1
since PED = 1.1, the demand is elastic
if the PED is the same when the price decreases from $2.25 to $1.75, total revenue will :
when price = $2.25, total revenue = $2.25 x 300 = $675
when price = $1.75, total revenue = $1.75 x 373 = $652.75
*a 22.22% decrease in the price will cause a 24.44% increase (= 22.22% x 1.1) in the quantity demanded = 300 units + (300 x 24.44%) = 373.3 ≈ 373 units
Answer:
d. 5.08%
Explanation:
We have to first calculate the YTM of the bond, and then apply the tax shield.
To get the YTM we have to calculate the rate of return of an annuity of 46.25 for 20 years compounding semiannually at IRR rate and the present value of the face value redeem in 20 years.
IRR = 0.084656891 (it should be done using financial calculator or excel or a similar software program)
then we apply the shield tax to the IRR:
IRR x (1 - tax-rate) = Cost of debt
0.084656891 * ( 1 - 0.4) = 5.0794= 5.08
