Answer:

C. Substitutes and the higher price for oil increased the demand for natural gas.

Explanation:

In 2007, the price of oil increased, which in turn caused the price of natural gas to rise. This can best be explained by saying that oil and natural gas are substitutes and the higher price for oil increased the demand for natural gas.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good because they serve the same purposes.

The demand for goods is said to be elastic, when the quantity of goods demanded by consumers with respect to change in price is very large. Thus, the more easily a consumer can switch to a substitute product in relation to change in price, the greater the elasticity of demand.

Generally, consumers would like to be buy a product as its price falls or become inexpensive.

For substitute products (goods), the price elasticity of demand is always positive because the demand of a product increases when the price of its close substitute (alternative) increases.

Ingram Electric Products is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? No
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

the project's MIRR is 13.50 %.

Explanation:

MODIFIED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (MIRR)

-It is the rate that causes the Present Value of the Terminal Value (Future Cash flows at the end of the Project) to equal Present Value of Cash outflows.

-MIRR assumes a reinvestment rate at the end of the project

The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 3.

Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 3 - n)

                                 = $350 x (1.11) ^ 2 + $350 x (1.11) ^ 1 + $350 x (1.11) ^ 0

                                 = $431.24 + $388.50 + $350.00

                                 = $1,169.74

The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :

(-$800)        CFj

0          CFj

0          CFj

$1,169.74  CFj

Shift IRR/Yr 113.50 %

Therefore, the MIRR is 13.50 %

One problem in the interstate trucking industry is the number of trucks that return after making a delivery with an empty truck.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Yield management pricing.

Explanation:

One problem in the interstate trucking industry is the number of trucks that return after making a delivery with an empty truck. However, there is a website where independent interstate truckers can look for loads that they can carry with them on their return trip. Because the trucks would be returning empty (and inefficiently), truckers who use this website to get business that they would not have had without it and charge a reduced shipping rate. This reduced rate is an example of yield management pricing.

Yield management pricing can be defined as a pricing strategy which typically involves having a variety of charges (prices) for the services being provided by an organization at a specific period of time.

Simply stated, it basically involves providing a service at the right price, time and to the right service taker.

The yield management pricing strategy is mostly used by the airline, hotel, travel businesses. The main purpose of the yield management pricing is to maximize profits or generate more revenue.

n 2010, Tara used $50,000 from funds she had invested in certificates of deposit as a down payment to buy a house. What function
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Medium of Exchange

Explanation:

A certificate of deposit represents a legal document issued by a commercial or economic institution such as a bank as evidence of a sum of money deposited by the individual for a particular period and with a specified rate of interest.

A Medium of Exchange, on the other hand, represents an intermediary system or instrument that can be used to make sales, purchases and facilitate the trade of goods or services between various parties. To qualify as a medium of exchange, the instrument should have a standard face value and must be acceptable to all parties.

Since Tara was able to put down $50,000 as represented on the Certificates of deposit, it becomes a medium of exchange, because it has a standard face value (as determined by the bank) and it is acceptable both by Tara and the estate from which Tara is purchasing the house.
