Answer:
Residents (people's) reaction to Incentives
Explanation:
An incentive represents something, an action or a law that causes people to act or change their behaviour about something at a particular time. Basically, incentives work by making rewards available to individuals who change their behaviour on a targeted issue.
Usually, since people rationally compare the costs and benefits of their actions, incentives gives them the opportunity to raise their perception of this costs and benefits and also induces them to respond.
Florida increases the tax on alcoholic beverages, the people still see the benefits of taking alcohol but not at the increased, the reaction therefore, is to purchase in surrounding states where they are still cheaper without a tax increase.
It should be noted from the Florida example that the reaction of people to incentives can both be negative and positive. This example shows a negative response as a result of raised costs when compared with benefits.
Answer:
11.07%
Explanation:
The formula to compute WACC is shown below:
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.25 × 8%) × ( 1 - 34%) + (0.75 × 13%)
= 1.32% + 9.75%
= 11.07%
We simply multiply the weighatge with its capital structure so that the correct weightage cost of capital can come.
Answer:
2.2
Explanation:
The formula for calculating price elasticity using the midpoint method is:
midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}
midpoint method = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} / {(1.20 - 1) / [(1.20 + 1) / 2]}
midpoint method = [50 / (250 / 2)] / [0.20 / (2.20 / 2)] = (50 / 125) / (0.20 / 1.1)
midpoint method = 0.4 / 0.19 = 2.2
The advantage of using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity is that we can calculate the price elasticity between two points, and it doesn't matter if the price increases or decreases.
If we calculate price elasticity using the single point formula:
price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price = 50% / 20% = 2.5
Burn it! (Lol IDK if this question was serious)
Answer:
Loss of $500
Explanation:
Given that
Stock price = 123
Strike price = 125
Premium price = 5
Recall that
Long call profit = (MAX (stock price - strike price, 0) - premium per share
Thus,
Long call profit = Max [0, ($123 - $125)(100)] - $500
= - $500.
Therefore, the negative sign in front indicates a loss of $500
