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

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory (parts)= 15,000 parts

Sales June= 13,600

Sales July= 10,500

Sales August= 12,700

Parts are purchased at a wholesale price of $30.

Purchasing arrangement:

60 percent on the month of the purchase.

40 percent in the following month.

Lakeside purchased 14,000 parts in May.

A) To calculate the purchase for June and July, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

June= 13,600 - 15,000= -1,400

July= 10,500 - 1,400= 9,100

B) Cash Required:

Purchase from the month

Purchase from the month before

<u>June:</u>

Purchase from the month= 0

Purchase from the month before= (14,000*30)*0.4= 168,000

<u>July:</u>

Purchase from the month= (9,100*30)*0.6= 163,800

Purchase from the month before= 0

Suppose a three-person comittee is formed for a culb by drawing names out of a hat. If the expected number of women is 2 and the
tangare [24]

Answer: 20 women

Explanation:

Making the total number of women in the club 'x', we can then do the following,

Total Number of Names in Hat, N

N = x + 10 ( total number of men)

therefore total number of names in the hat N=x+10

We need to select 3 people so sample size = 3

Using the Hypergeometric Distribution then we can then use the formula,

Expected number of women on the Committee = k * n / N

Where k is the total number

2 = x * 3 / (x + 10)

2 = 3x/(x +10)

3x = 2x +20

x = 20

There are 20 women in the club.

At the beginning of fiscal 2017, Wooster Company acquired a small savings and loan association for $102 million. The book value
bija089 [108]

Answer:

C. $17.25 million

Explanation:

In case of an acquisition, the assets are valued at their fair value and we will also include all unrecorded liabilities. Goodwill will be the excess payment over the net assets of the company. Excess fair value of land means that assets would increase by that amount to arrive at their fair value. Also, We have to include unrecorded liabilities in the total liabilities

Net Assets = Fair value of assets - Total liabilities

Or, Net Assets = (Book value of assets + Excess Fair value of land) - (Book value of liabilities + unrecorded liabilities)

Or, Net Assets = ($261 million + $3 million) - ($172.50 million + $6.75 million) = $84.75 million

Amount paid to acquire = $102 million

Goodwill = $102 million - $84.75 million = $17.25 million
