Answer:

the price elasticity of demand is 1

Explanation:

The price elasticity of the demand using mid point formula is as follows:

Price elasticity of the demand is

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of quantity demanded)

where,

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 36 - 30

= 6

And, average of quantity demanded is

= (36 + 30) ÷ 2

= 33

Change in price is

= P2 - P1

= $12 - $10

= $2

And, the average of price is

= ($12 + $10) ÷ 2

= 11

So, the price elasticity of demand is 1

. Alternative A has a first cost of $20,000, an operating cost of $9,000 per year, and a $5,000 salvage value after 5 years. Alt

JulsSmile [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

NPW of X is

= -$20,000 - $9,000 × (P/A,12%,5) + $5,000 × (P/F,12%,5)

= -$20,000 - $9,000 × 3.604776 + $5,000 × 0.567427

= -$49,605.85

And,

NPW of Y is

= -$35,000 - $4,000 × (P/A,12%,5) + $7,000 × (P/F,12%,5)

= -$35,000 - $4,000 × 3.604776 + $7,000 × 0.567427

= -$45,447.11

Based on the above calculations as we can see that net present cost of Y is lower than the net present cost of X so Y should be selected

The Dante Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated below. T

Answer:

a) incremental net income

net income year 1 = ($16,500 - $3,500 - $8,000) x 0.65 = $3,250

net income year 2 = ($17,000 - $3,600 - $8,000) x 0.65 = $3,510

net income year 3 = ($17,500 - $3,700 - $8,000) x 0.65 = $3,770

net income year 4 = ($14,500 - $2,900 - $8,000) x 0.65 =$1,340

b) incremental net cash flow

cash flow year 1 = [($16,500 - $3,500 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 - $430 = $10,820

cash flow year 2 = [($17,000 - $3,600 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 - $480 = $11,030

cash flow year 3 = [($17,500 - $3,700 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 - $380 = $11,390

cash flow year 4 = [($14,500 - $2,900 - $8,000) x 0.65] + $8,000 + $1,670 = $12,010

c) project's NPV

NPV = -$32,380 + $10,820/1.13 + $11,030/1.13² + $11,390/1.13³ + $12,010/1.13⁴ = $1,093.13

In its first month of operations, Concord Corporation made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 650 uni

Triss [41]

Answer: Average unit cost=$5.800 per unit

Cost of Ending inventory =$3,190

Explanation:

Average unit cost

First purchase= 650 units x $4=$2,600

Second Purchase=750 units x $6 =$4,500

Third Purchase= 850 units x $7 = $5,950

Total Cost = $13,050

Average unit cost = Total cost/ number of units =13,050/(650+750+850)= 13,050/2250= $5.8 per unit

Cost of Ending inventory = 550 unts at hand x $5.8 =$3,190

(using the average cost method)

Sandra waterman purchased a 52-week, $1,000 t-bill issued by the u.s. treasury. the purchase price was $996. (a) what is the amo

Darina [25.2K]

(a) Discount amount = Face value - Price of t-bills = $1,000-$996 = $4

(b) Amount received at maturity = Face value = $1,000 (Note: T-bills are guaranteed and thus one of the safest investment).

(c) Current yield, R = Discount amount/Face value * 360/t, where t = 52 weeks = 360 days.

Then,

R = (4/1000)*(360/360)*100 = 0.4%

The average price of homes sold in the U.S. in 2012 was $240,000. A sample of 144 homes sold in Chattanooga in 2012 showed an av

Ainat [17]

Answer:

H0 : Average price of homes sold in US = 24000 ; H1 : Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000

t calculated value = 2 , t critical (tabulated) value = 1.96

calculated t > critical t . Null Hypothesis is rejected, It is concluded that 'Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000 '

Explanation:

Null Hypothesis : Average price of homes sold in US = 24000

Alternate Hypothesis : Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000

t = (x' - u) / (s / √n)

x' = sample mean = 246000 (given)

u = population mean = 240000 (given)

s = standard deviation = 36000

n = no. of observations = 144

t = (246000 - 240000) / (36000/√144)

6000/ (36000/12000) = 6000/3000

t = 2

Critical value for a two tailed test at 5% significance level, 0.025 in t distribution = 1.96

Since calculated value, 2 > tabulated or critical value at significance level, 1.96. So, we reject the null hypothesis. This implies that <u>'Average price of homes sold in US ≠ 24000</u>'
