Answer:

PES = 1.59 elastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

% change in quantity = (Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2] = (10 - 7) / [(10 + 7) / 2] = 3 / 8.5 = 35.29%

% change in price = (50 - 40) / [(50 + 40) / 2] = 10 / 45 = 22.22%

PES = 35.29% / 22.22% = 1.59 elastic

<span>Two oil shocks, an expansive monetary policy, and growing competition as Europe and Japan recovered from the devastation of World War II.
By the end of the decade, the country went into what came to be called
stagflation, a combination of no growth and rising inflation. In effect, the country had the worst of both worlds.
President Carter’s appointment of Paul Volcker as Federal Reserve Chair started the path to change. He restricted the money supply in a war that drove up unemployment but eventually tamed inflation.
The Reagan presidency started with cuts in spending and income taxes in what was called a ‘supply-side experiment.’
The intent was to stimulate saving, work, and investment. The emphasis that the supply-side approach put on incentives is now a more prominent part of economic thinking, but the experiment itself led to larger fiscal deficits.</span>

CII, Inc., invests $630,000 in a project expected to earn a 12% annual rate of return. The earnings will be reinvested in the pr
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$1,956,684

Explanation:

As the project has a expected annual return, we have to calculate future value of this investment to find how much money Cll, Inc. will have after 10 years to reinvest.

We know,

FV = PV × (1 + i)^{n}

Given,

Present Value, PV = $630,000

Annual rate of return, i = 12% = 0.12

Number of period, n = 10 years

Putting the value into the above formula, we can get,

FV = $630,000 × (1 + 0.12)^{10}

FV = $630,000 × 3.105848

FV = $1,956,684

$1,956,684 can be reinvested after the liquidation of 10 years.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration estimated as the expected value?

  • original cost $5,800 if job is finished in one month (15% probability)
  • bonus price for finishing 2 weeks earlier $5,800 x 1.25 = $7,250 (25% probability)
  • bonus price for finishing 1 week earlier $5,800 x 1.15 = $6,670 (60% probability)

expected transaction price = ($5,800 x 15%) + ($7,250 x 25%) + ($6,670 x 60%) = $6,684.50

b) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration as the most likely amount?

$6,670, since it has a 60% probability
