Along any downward sloping straight-line demand curve: Group of answer choices both the price elasticity and slope are constant.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

the price elasticity varies, but the slope is constant

Explanation:

The demand curve is a curve that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped because the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.

According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

At the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is usually unit elastic. Above the midpoint of the demand curve, demand is elastic and blow the midpoint, demand is inelastic

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Suppose the Federal Reserve sets the reserve requirement at 12 percent, banks hold no excess reserves, and no additional currenc

Naily [24]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

For a)

The money multiplier or the credit multiplier can be calculated as follows,

Money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio

Multiplier = 1 / 0.12 = 8.33 times

For b)

For a negative $80 million change by the Fed there will be a total change in the economy of 80 * 8.33 = $666.4 million.

A -80 million change will contract money supply by $666.4 million in the economy.

For c)

This can be calculated by dividing the target by the money multiplier.

So to achieve a change of $500m the Fed will expand the money supply by

= 500 / 8.33 = $60.02m.

Hope that helps.

Performance Bicycle Company makes steel and titanium handle bars for bicycles. It requires approximately 1 hour of labor to make

quester [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

Particulars Steel Bars Titanium Bars

Units Per Batch 7000 3000

Hours Per Unit 1 1

Total Hours 7000 3000

Overhead rate on the basis of direct labor = Total Overhead / Total labor hours = 84,000/10,000 i.e 8.40

Overhead cost allocated to steel bars = 8.40*7000 = 58,800

The market value of Fords' equity, preferred stock, and debt are $ 7 billion, $ 2 billion, and $ 15 billion, respectively.

Answer:

Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 8.22 %

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that the company expect from a project. It shows the risk of the company.

Calculation of WACC

WACC = Cost of equity + Cost of preferred stock + Cost of debt

Capital Source Market Values Weight Cost Total Cost

equity $ 7 billion 29.17% 13.6% 3.97 %

preferred stock $ 2 billion 8.33% 12% 1.00 %

debt $ 15 billion 62.50% 5.2 % 3.25%

Total $ 24 billion 8.22 %

Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Risk Premium

= 4% + 1.2 × 8%

= 13.6%

Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Market Price

= $ 3/ $ 25 × 100

= 12%

Cost of debt = interest × (1- tax rate)

= 8% × (1-0.35)

= 5.2 %
