Which describes the process by which assets or equipment decrease in value

When the price is $12 the quantity demanded is 50. When the price increases to $24 the quantity demanded decreases to 30. Calcul

Allushta [10]

Answer:

PED = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

% change in quantity demanded = [(30 - 50) / 50] x 100 = -40%
% change in price = [($24 - $12) / $12] x 100 = 100%

PED = -40% / 100% = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms

the demand is price inelastic since |0.4| < 1

this means that the change in quantity demanded is proportionally less than the change in price.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%)

Explanation:

As we know that,

Self Supporting Growth Rate = Return on Equity * (1 - Payout Ratio) ...Eq1

Here

Payout ratio given is 50%

and

Return on Equity = 35% (Step 1)

By putting values in Eq1, we have:

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 35% * (1 - 50%)

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 17.5%

Which means that Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%) which is 17.5%.

Step 1: Find Return on Equity

We know that:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity ..............Eq2

As we are not given value of Net Income we can not calculate the value of return on equity. But there is another way that we can calculate by simply multiplying and dividing by sales on Left hand side of the Eq2 equation.

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity * Sales / Sales

By rearranging, we have:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Equity

Now here,

Net Income / Sales = Profit Margin

By putting this in the above equation, we have:

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Sales / Equity

Here

Profit Margin is 7% given in the question.

Sales were $2,000,000

And

Equity is $400,000 (Step 2)

By putting values, we have:

Return on Equity = 7% * $2,000,000 / $400,000

Return on Equity = 35%

Step 2. Find Equity

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Here,

Assets are worth $1,400,000

Liabilities are standing at $1,000,000 which includes only current liabilities because company doesn't have any long term borrowings

By putting the values, we have:

Equity = $1,400,000 - $1,000,000 = $400,000

Brother, don't forget to rate the answer.

Suppose that everyone who has looked for a job for more than six months gave up in despair and stopped looking. What would happe

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

It would fall

Explanation:

The unemployment rate measures the amount of people who are out of a job for at least 4 weeks, and are actively seeking to find a new job. If a person is not willing or able to search for a job, he/she is not considered unemployed nor part of the labor force.

If unemployed people just quit looking for jobs, the unemployment will decrease even though the number of people who are out a job increases. This happens because as soon as someone quits looking for new job, they are not considered unemployed anymore.

11 Ending inventory,retail(8+9+10) 664000

Setup calculation:

Cost to retail ratio = Cost to retail ratio component at cost/Cost to retail ratio component at retail

= 1070000/10964000

= 0.097592

= 9.76%

Ending inventory,cost = Ending inventory,retail*Cost to retail ratio

= 664000*9.76%

= $64806

Cost of goods sold = Sales*Cost to retail ratio

= 9800000*9.76%

= $956480
