Answer:
To increase its revenue, transit authority should lower the fare.
Explanation:
The 'elasticity of demand' measures the change in consumers response in quantity he demands as a result of the change in price, other factors remaining same.
A product is called elastic if with the increase or decrease in price, there is a drastic change in the quantity demand of the product. If the transit authority will lower its fare, then their revenue will increase as the elasticity of demand for bus trip is 1.2. By lowering the fare, the demand would increase and their revenue will increase.
Answer:
$118.83 per month that Zach must save.
Explanation:
This is a future value annuity as we know the cruise will cost $16500 in 4 years time as estimated by Zach for the cruise.
Fv is the future value for the annuity which is $16500
we also have i the interest rate which is 3.99% monthly
n is the number of periods in which the monthly amount is saved 4 x 12 =48
now we will substitute to the following formula and solve for C the monthly payments that Zach saves for the cruise:
Fv =C [((1+i)^n -1)/ i] now we substitute
$16500 = C[((1+3.99%)^48 -1)/3.99%)] then solve for C
$16500/[(1+3.99%)^48 -1)/3.99%] = C
C = $118.83 that Zach must save per month for 4 years to afford the cruise.
Answer:
C. $737,500
Explanation:
The formula to compute the ending balance of retained earning is shown below:
The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid
= $659,000 + $220,000 - $141,500
= $737,500
The net income is calculated below:
= Sales revenues - expenses
$600,000 - $380,000
= $220,000
I believe the answer is Time management
Answer:
$77,217
$11,289
Explanation:
Fist we will calculate the present value of $10,000 payment
A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity. The value of the annuity is also determined by the present value of annuity payment.
Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow
PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]
Where
P = Annual payment = $10,000
r = rate of return = 10% / 2 = 5%
n = number of period = 5 years x 2 semiannual payments per year = 10 payments
PV of annuity = $10,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.05 )^-10 ) / 0.05 ]
PV of Annuity = $77,217
Now we will use the discounting method to calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $20,000
Present value = Future value x Present value factor
PV = FV x ( 1 + r )^-n
PV = $20,000 x ( 1 + 0.1 )^-6
PV = $11,289
