Answer:

Explanation:

Price elasticity = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in Price

Percentage change in Q= 513-236=277/513x100 = 53.99%

Percentage change in P= 0.89-0.67= 0.22/0.67x100 = 32.83%

Ed=53.99/32.83 = 1.6

Since the price elasticity of demand is elastic so the company should decrease the price to increase revenu

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the d
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

f) Interest Payable          Accrued expense              Interest expense

g) Unearned service revenue Unearned revenue Service revenue

Explanation:

End of period adjustments are made to accounts in order to bring them in line with the accrual concept and matching principle of accounting.  These principles require that expenses and revenues for the period are matched in order to determine the appropriate profit generated for the period.  The implication is that transactions are recorded when they are incurred and not when cash is exchanged.  For example, if rent expense is incurred for the year and payment is made in the following year, the expense must be recognized in the current year.  The same applies to revenue.
