Answer: d. a decrease in the quantity demanded of 30%
Explanation:
Price elasticity of a good is used to measure the magnitude of change in the quantity demanded of the good as a result of a change in price.
Price elasticity = Change in Quantity demanded / Change in Price
2 = Change in quantity demanded / 15%
Change in Quantity demanded = 2 * 15% = 30%
The elasticity is listed as positive but is supposed to be negative even though this can cause confusion. Normal goods are assumed to have a negative elasticity so unless stated otherwise, assume elasticity is negative.
This is why the change is a decrease in quantity demanded.

Shares of Corporation have a beta of 0.90. The market risk premium is 7%, and
the risk-free rate is 8%. Corporation paid a dividend of $1.80 per share, and the
dividend is expected to grow at 7% forever. The share currently sells for $25.
Corporation has a debt-equity ratio of 50%. Its cost of debt is 8%, before taxation,
taxation rate is 30%.
What is the weighted average cost of capital of Corporation?
Answer:
The weighted average cost of capital of Corporation is 11.4%
Explanation:
Now use following formula to calculate the weighted average cost of equity
WACC = ( Weight of equity x Cost of equity ) + ( Weight of debt x Cost of debt (after tax ) )
Weight
Equity = 100%
Debt = 50%
Cost
First we need to calculate the cost of equity using CAPM formula
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Market risk premium )
Placing values in the formula
Cost of equity = 8% + 0.90 x 7%
Cost of equity = 14.3%
Cost of debt = 8%
Cost of debt (after tax ) = 8% x ( 1 - 30% ) = 5.6%
Placing values in the formula of Weighted average cost of capital
WACC = ( ( 100%/150% ) x 14.3% ) + ( ( 50% / 150% ) x 5.6% )
WACC = 9.53% + 1.87%
WACC = 11.4%
The price of cups increased from $3.75 to $4.05 and the quantity demanded of plates decreased from 4,950 to 4,450. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for plates. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:Cross elasticity of demand = -1.25
Explanation:
Cross elasticity of demand= Per entage change in quantity of commodity A (plates)/ Percentage change in price of commodity B(cups)
Percentage change in quantity demanded for plates = (New quantity - old quantity/ old quantity ) x 100
={ (4450-4950)/4950] ×100
=-500/4950
= - 0.10×100= - 10%
Percentage change in price of cups =(New price - old price/ old price) x 100 [(4.05-3.75)/3.75]×100
=0.3/ 3.75
= 0.08×100= 8%
Cross price elasticity of demand = - 10%/8%
= - 1.25
Here, the cross elasticity of demand for these goods of cups and plates is negative(-1.25) showing that they are complementary goods since as the price for cups increases, the demand for plates decreased.
Even as it begins to produce the Mirai for the U.S. market, Toyota continues to manufacture its traditionally fueled cars, trucks, and SUVs. Doing this helps Toyota manage the ______ of industrial demand.
a. volatility
b. division
c. durability

volatility of industrial demand do occur where there is uncertainty as far as demand is concerned in the consumer products , as a result of this most firms to catch up with compitition, growing their sales an lot more , so in this case Toyota still continues to manufacture its traditionally fueled cars, trucks, and SUVs even though there is Mirai for the U.S. market.
One effective way to manage credit card debt is to:
A. exaggerate your income when applying for a credit card.
B. spend your entire credit limit before making any payments.
C. replace high-interest credit cards with low-interest options.
D. always pay only the minimum payment required each month.
Answer:
C. replace high-interest credit cards with low-interest options.
Explanation:
A credit card provides a secure and convenient way to pay for goods and services even when they do not have money. The credit card gives the user access to instant credit every time they use it. The user does not incur any charges should they pay the amount due before its due date.
Credit card interest rate charges are among the highest in the industry. If the user is late in their payment, the interest fee and other charges accumulate real quick. Shifting to cards with lower interest is one way of managing credit card debts.

It is estimated that the annual maintenance cost of a statue erected in front of a public building in a state capital would be $1,000. Assuming an interest rate of 4% compounded annually, determine the capitalized cost for maintaining the statue.
Answer:
$24,630.54
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the capitalized cost for maintaining the statue
First step is to calculate the Effective interest rate
Effective interest rate = (1+.04/4) ^4 -1
Effective interest rate= 0.04060
Last step is to calculat the capitalized cost for maintaining the statue using this formula
Capitalized cost =Annual maintenance cost /Effective interest rate
Let plug in the formula
Capitalized cost = ($1,000/0.04060)
Capitalized cost = $24,630.54
Therefore the capitalized cost for maintaining the statue will be $24,630.54
The Greenback Store’s cost structure is dominated by variable costs with a contribution margin ratio of 0.25 and fixed costs of $40,000. Every dollar of sales contributes 25 cents toward fixed costs and profit. The cost structure of a competitor, One-Mart, is dominated by fixed costs with a higher contribution margin ratio of 0.75 and fixed costs of $440,000. Every dollar of sales contributes 75 cents toward fixed costs and profit. Both companies have sales of $800,000 for the month. Required: a. Compare the two companies’ cost structures. b. Suppose that both companies experience a 15 percent increase in sales volume. By how much would each company’s profits increase?
Answer:
Greenback Store One-Mart
Amount % Amount %
a. Sales $800,000 100% $800,000 100%
Variable cost $600,000 75% $200,000 25%
Contribution margin $200,000 25% $600,000 75%
Fixed cost $40,000 5% $440,000 55%
Operating profit $160,000 20% $160,000 20%
Break even point $160,000 $586,666.67
Workings
Greenback Store Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = 40,000 / 0.25 = 160,000
One-Mart Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = 440,000 / 0.75 = 586,666.67
b. Greenback Store
Increase in sales = $800,000*15% = $120,000
Company profit Increase by + (Increase in sales * Contribution margin ratio = 120,000 * 25% = $30,000
Thus, with the increase in 15% of sales of Greenback Store, the profit of the company increase by $30,000
One-Mart
Increase in sales = $800,000*15% = $120,000
Company profit Increase by + (Increase in sales * Contribution margin ratio = 120,000 * 75% = $90,000
Thus, with the increase in 15% of sales of One-Mart , the profit of the company increase by $90,000.
The most recent price activity in this chart is a quadruple top breakout. The box size is $0.50 and the reversal size is three boxes. What is the price objective for the breakout using the horizontal count method?a. $19.00b. $21.50c. $12.50d. $22.00
Answer:
a. $19.00
Explanation:
Note: The graph is as attached below
The low of the column where a quadruple top breakout occurs is $8.5 and width is 7 and box size is 0.5
The width of the pattern is 7 which is multiplied by 0.5 which is the box size and the reversal size of 3 for an Extension estimate (7 x 0.5 x 3 = $10.5).
Now, $10.5 is added to the low of the column and hence price objective is $10.5 + $8.5 = $19

On January 1, your company issues a 5-year bond with a face value of $10,000 and a stated interest rate of 6%. The market interest rate is 4%. The issue price of the bond was $11,016. Your company used the effective-interest method of amortization. At the end of the first year, your company should:_____.a. debit Interest Expense for $800, credit Premium on Bonds Payable for $145.00, and credit Interest Payable for $655.00.b. debit Interest Expense for $655.00 and credit Interest Payable for $655.00.c. debit Interest Expense for $655.00, debit Premium on Bonds Payable for $145.00, and credit Cash for $800.d. debit Interest Expense for $800, debit Premium on Bonds Payable for $145.00, and credit Interest Payable for $655.00.
Answer:
Debit Interest Expense $440.64, Debit Premium on Bonds Payable $159.36 and Credit Cash $600
Explanation:
Amount paid in cash = $10,000 * 6% = $600
Interest expense = $11,016 * 4% = $440.64
Amortization of premium on bonds payable = Amount paid in cash - Interest expense
Amortization of premium on bonds payable = $600 - $440.64
Amortization of premium on bonds payable = $159.36.
Debit Interest Expense $440.64
Debit Premium on Bonds Payable $159.36
Credit Cash $600

Suppose you buy a 7 percent coupon, 20-year bond today when it’s first issued. If interest rates suddenly rise to 15 percent, what happens to the value of your bond?
a. the price of the bond will fall
b. the price of the bond will raise
Answer: a. the price of the bond will fall.
Explanation:
If one buys a 7% coupon, 20-year bond today when it’s first issued and the interest rates suddenly rise to 15%, the value of the bond will decrease.
This is because there's an inverse relationship between price and interest rates, that is, the increase in one variable will lead to the decrease in the other variable. When there is a rise in the inters rate, it should be noted that the payments on fixed coupon are worth less.
Therefore, the price of the bond will fall.
Tri-coat Paints has a current market value of $41 per share with earnings of $3.64. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 9%?
Answer:
the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) is $0.56

estimated cost: a. managers use to make decisions about the future b. find a right price c. is not useful for
Answer:
managers use to make decisions about the future
Explanation:
Estimated cost is the cost that is projected to be incurred by a business when undertaking a project, program, or operation.
It comprises of the list of expenses that will be spent on an activity in the future.
Therefore it is used by managers to decide on the best activity to undertake in the future.
Usually the activity that has the lowest cost is balanced against the required quality.
The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 13%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%. What will be the market price of the security if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
Answer: New Market price =$29.55
Explanation:
Using the CAPM,Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM formule , The expected return on stock is given as
Er = Rf +β( Mr)
which means
Expected return = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
13%= 4% +beta (6%)
beta= 13%-4%/6%=0.13-0.04 /0.06
beta= 1.5
The dividend expected to be paid is given as
Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return
= 50 X 13%
= $6.5
Now, if beta doubles, Expected return becomes
Er = Rf + 2β( Mr)
Er= 4% + 2 x 1.5( 6%)
=4%+ 3.0( 6%)
0.04 + 0.18
Er = 0.22 = 22%
New Market price
Expected dividend, D = Price of security X Expected return
Price = Expected dividend, D/Expected return
= $6.5/0.22
=$29.55

Other elements of the canvas need to change in order to reach them. c. They can be categorized into different groups. d. Distinctions only matter if tailoring parts of the business to reach some customers makes it more difficult to reach other customers.
Answer:
a. Their needs require different products/services or different prices
Explanation:
A customer segment is a term in business that is used to describe a group of consumers with identical or related needs, behaviors, or other characteristics. For example Mass Market, Niche Market, etc.
However, customer groups represent separate segments based on the following:
1. their needs mandate and justify a distinct offer
2. they are sold through various distribution means.
3. they need different types of connection or arrangement.
4. they are ready to pay for various items of the offer
The Backwoods American company in Problem 2.1 produces approximately 20,000 parkas annually. The quality management program the company implemented was able to improve the average percentage of good parkas produced by 2% each year, beginning with 83% good-quality parkas in 2012. Only about 20% of poor-quality parkas can be reworked.
Total (not per parka) direct manufacturing cost is given below:
Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Direct Manufacturing Cost $420,900 $423,400 $424,700 $436,100 $435,500
A) Compute the product yield for each of the five years.
B) Using a rework cost of $12 per parka, determine the manufacturing cost per good parka for each of the five years. What you can you conclude about the improvement process?
Answer:
a. 2003 product yield = 20,000(0.83) + 20,000 (1 - 0.83)(0.20)
= 16,600 + 680
= 17,280 parkas
2004 product yield = 20,000*(0.85) + 20,000*(0.15)(0.20)
= 17,000 + 600
= 17,600 parkas
2005 product yield = 20,000*(0.87) + 20,000*(0.13)(0.20)
= 17,400 + 520
= 17,920 parkas
2006 product yield = 20,000*(0.89) + 20,000*(0.11)(0.20)
= 17,800 + 440
= 18,240 parkas
2007 product yield = 20,000*(0.91) + 20,000*(0.09)(0.20)
= 18,200 + 360
= 18,560 parkas
b. 2003 manufacturing cost per good parka = 420,900 + 12*(20,000)(0.17)(0.20) /17,280
= 420,900 + 12 (680) / 17,280
= 429,060 /17,280
= $24.83
2004 manufacturing cost per good parka = 423,400 + 12*(600) /17,600
= 430,600 /17,600
= $24.47
2005 manufacturing cost per good parka = 424,700 + 12*(520) / 17,920
= 430,940 /17,920
= $24.05
2006 manufacturing cost per good parka = 436,100 + 12*(440) / 18,240
= 441,380 /18,240
= $24.20
2007 manufacturing cost per good parka = 435,500 + 12 *(360) /18,560
= 439,820 / 18,560
= $23.70
Steady Company’s stock has a beta of 0.20. If the risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 7%, what is an estimate of Steady Company’s cost of equity?
Answer:
the estimation of the cost of equity is 7.4%
Explanation:
The computation of the estimation of the cost of equity is shown below:
Here we used the Capital Asset Pricing model formula i.e.
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × market risk premium
= 6% + 0.20 × 7%
= 6% + 1.4%
= 7.4%
Hence, the estimation of the cost of equity is 7.4%
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Levine Inc. is considering an investment that has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 10%. What is the investment's coefficient of variation?
a. 0.67
b. 0.73
c. 0.81
d. 0.89
e. 0.98
Answer:
A)0.67
Explanation:
Coefficient of variation can be regarded as the method that is usually devices in the assessment of the total risk per unit of return in a particular investment.
To calculate the investment's coefficient of variation, we use the expresion below
Coefficient of variation = standard deviation/expected return.
Given:
expected return = 15%
standard deviation = 10%.
Coefficient of variation =10/15
= 0.67
Hence, the investment's coefficient of variation is 0.67
A perfectly competitive firm shuts down in the short run when:________. A. economic losses occur. B. the price is below the average total cost curve. C. the price is below the average variable cost curve. D. the price is below the average fixed cost curve.
Answer:
C. the price is below the average variable cost curve.
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.
Hence, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;
1. Perfect information.
2. No barriers, it is typically free.
3. Equilibrium price and quantity.
4. Many buyers and sellers.
5. Homogeneous products.
Some examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.
A perfectly competitive firm shuts down in the short run when the price it is selling its goods (products) in the market is below the average variable cost curve.
This ultimately implies that, a business firm should only continue to be in operation when its price is above or greater than its average variable costs based on the shutdown rule.

On the next property tax assessment date, the land is still vacant, and construction has not begun. In most states, what is the most likely result of the charity's petition for exemption from real estate taxes?A. Because the charity owns the land, the property is exempt.
B. Because the land is not being used, the property is not exempt.
C. If building permits have been issued, the property is exempt.
D. If the charity is a church, the property is exempt.
Answer: B. because the land is not being used, the property is not exempt
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, we are told that a charitable corporation buys a new piece of land with plans to start building a hospital in two years and that as at the the next property tax assessment date, the land is still vacant, and construction work has not begun on the land.
The most likely result of the charity's petition for exemption from real estate taxes will be that the property will be that because the land is not being used, the property is not exempt.
A series of monthly cash flows is deposited into an account that earns 12% nominal interest compounded monthly. Each monthly deposit is equal to $2,100. The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015. The account also has equivalent quarterly withdrawals from it. The first quarterly withdrawal is equal to $5,000 and occurred on October 1, 2008. The last $5,000 withdrawal will occur on January 1, 2015. How much remains in the account after the last withdrawal?
Answer:
The amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945
Explanation:
The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015 = 80 deposit
Monthly deposit = 2,100
Interest rate = 12% / 1% per month
Firstly, we calculate the future worth of the monthly deposit
FW = A(F/A, i, n)
A = 2,100, i = 1%, n= 80
FW = $2100*[(1+0.01)^80 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*[2.216715 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*(121.671)
FW = $255,509.10
We calculate the effective interest rate
i(effective) = (1 + i nominal monthly interest rate)^n - 1
i `%, n = 3(no of months in quarter)
i (effective) = (1+0.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = (1.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = 1.030301 - 1
i (effective) = 0.030301
i (effective) = 3.0301%
The effective quarterly interest rate is 3.0301%
We calculate the future worth of the quarterly drawings
FW = A[(1+i)^n - 1 / i]
A = 5,000(drawing), i = 3.0301%, n = 26(number of drawings)
FW = 5,000*[(1+0.030301)^26 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*[2.17303717 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*(38.71282)
FW = $193,564.10
The future worth of the quarterly withdrawal is $193,564.10
We calculate the amount left in the account after last withdrawal
Amount left in account = FW(monthly deposits) - FW(quarterly drawings)
Amount left in account = $255,509.10 - $193,564.10
Amount left in account = $61,945
Thus, the amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945
