Answer:

The cross price elasticity of salsa and guacamole is 0.2. The two goods are substitutes.

Explanation:

The price of guacamole is increased from $2 to $2.5.

Percentage change in price

= \frac{new price\ -\ initial\ price}{initial\ price} \times100

= \frac{2.50\ -\ 2}{2} \times100

= 25%

The demand for salsa rises by 5%.

The cross price elasticity will be

= \frac{percenatge\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percenatge\ change\ in\ price}

= \frac{5}{25}

= 0.2

We see that the cross price elasticity is positive. This means that the two goods are substitutes. When price of one good will increase consumers will prefer the cheaper substitute, increasing its demand.

zalisa [80]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a) Growth rate = ROE × retention ratio

= 23% × (1 - .40)

= 13.80%

Value of stock = D1 ÷ (k - g)

= 0.84 × (1 + .1380) ÷ (.16 - .1380)

= $43.45

b) Revised growth rate after year 2 = 16% × .50

= 8%

Value at T2 = D3 ÷ (k - g)

D3 = Earnings × (1 + G1)^2 × (1 + G2) × Payout ratio

= 2.1 × (1+.1380)^2 × (1+.08) × .50

= 1.47

Value at T2 = 1.47 ÷ (.16 - .08)

= $18.38

Value at T0 = Value at T2 ÷ (1 + r)^n

= 18.38 ÷ (1 + .16)^2

= 13.66

Crank

Answer:

D. $460,500

Explanation:

Given that

Cost of parcel of land = 450000

Legal fees = 3000

Broker's fees = 7500

Therefore,

Amount recorded as cost of parcel of land is

Cost of parcel of land + legal fees + brokers fee

= 450000 + 3000 + 7500

= $460,500

When purchasing land, fees like commissions, legal fees, bank fees, title fees and other expenses added before the land can be used are considered as part of the land's cost. Hence the answer.

Complete the statements regarding types of economies

In a "Free market" system, supply and demand forces affect the production and consumption decisions. There is little to no price control in such a system.

The first blank could also be "perfectly competitive" or "market efficient" system. The second blank can also be "deadweight loss".  This means that producers are price takers, not price makers, and that the quantity produced and the equilibrium price of goods are determined by the free market. Usually this implies a very large number of firms producing identical products, with no collusion among them.

azamat

Answer:

1.25

Explanation:

asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets = $200,000 / [($170,000 + $150,000) / 2] = $200,000 / $160,000 = 1.25

Asset turnover ratio is a useful indicator of a company's efficiency, since it measures total sales relative to total assets. A company that uses its assets to generate sales more efficiently will have a higher asset turnover ratio.
