If the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a good is greater than the percentage change in the price of the good, then how is the demand for the good characterized?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Price Elastic

Explanation:

We know that

The formula to compute the price elasticity of demand is shown below:

= (Percentage change in quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price)

The classification as follows

1. Perfectly inelastic = If zero  

2. Inelastic = When elasticity is below than one

3. Unitary elastic = When elasticity is equal to one

4. Elastic = When elasticity is exceeded than one

5. Perfectly elastic = When elasticity is in infinity

Since the  percentage change in the quantity demanded of a good is greater than the percentage change in the price of the good which reflects that the elasticity is more than one

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The demand is price elastic in nature because it is greater than 1.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand refers to the response of quantity demanded of a good to the change in price. Of course, when the price decreases, quantity demanded of a good increases and vice-versa but to how much degree is determined by the Price Elasticity of demand.

Mathematically, Price Elasticity of Demand is the ratio of % change in quantity demanded of a good and % change in the price of a good i.e.

Price Elasticity of Demand = % change in quantity demanded of a good / % change in the price of a good

In the problem, since the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a good is greater than the percentage change in the price of the good, the above ratio will be greater than 1. Hence, the demand of the good is price elastic.

Dana has a portfolio of 8 securities, each with a market value of $5,000. The current beta of the portfolio is 1.28 and the beta of the riskiest security is 1.75. Dana wishes to reduce her portfolio beta to 1.15 by selling the riskiest security and replacing it with another security with a lower beta. What must be the beta of the replacement security? a. 1.21 b. 0.91 c. 0.73 d. 1.62

Answers

Answer:

Option c. 0.73

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Market value of securities = $5,000

Current beta of the portfolio = 1.28

Beta of the riskiest security = 1.75

Required beta = 1.15

Now,

let the beta of the other security be 'x'

Portfolio beta = weighted average of individual betas in the portfolio

or

1.28 × 8 × $5000 = [  x × (8 - 1) × $5000 ] + [ 1.75 × $5000  ]

or

$51,200 = $35,000x + $8750

or

$35,000x = $42,450

or

x = 1.21

Thus,

If she wishes to reduce the beta to 1.15, by replacing the riskiest security,

let the beta of the replacement security be 'y'

Therefore,

1.15 × 8 × $5000 = [ 1.21 × (8 - 1 ) × $5000 ] + [ y × $5000  ]

or

$46,000 = $42,350 + $5,000y

or

$5,000y = $3,650

or

y = 0.73

Hence,

Option c. 0.73

Direct manufacturing labor ​$200,000 ​ $200,000
Manufacturing overhead ​$400,000 ​$500,000

The actual material and labor costs charged to Job​ #432 were as​ follows:

Total
Direct​ materials: ​$21,000
Direct​ labor:
Department A $11,000
Department B ​ $7,000
​$18,000

Apple Valley applies manufacturing overhead costs to jobs on the basis of direct manufacturing labor cost using departmental rates determined at the beginning of the year.

For Department A, the manufacturing overhead allocation rate is: _________
For Department B, the manufacturing overhead allocation rate is: _________
Manufacturing overhead costs allocated to Job #432 total: _________

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. manufacturing overhead allocation rate for department A

= (Manufacturing overhead department A/Manufacturing direct labor department A) × 100

= ($400,000/$200,000) × 100

= 200%

2. Overhead allocation rate for department B

= ($500,000/$200,000) × 100

= 250%

3. Manufacturing overhead cost allocated to job #432.

($11,000 × $400,000)/$200,000 + ($7,000 × $500,000)/$200,000

= $22,000 + $17,500

= $39,500

Equipment was purchased for $300,000. Freight charges amounted to $14,000 and there was a cost of $40,000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Depreciation expense each year using the straight-line method will be:________. a. $70,800 b. $58,800 c. $49,200 d. $48,000

Answers

Answer:

b)

Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800

Explanation:

According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.

So we will add the purchase cost to installation  , freight charges.

Cost of assets = 300,000 + 14,000 + 40,000 =$354,000

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Scrap Value)/ Number of years

                                   = (354,000 - 60,000)/5

                                 =$58,800

Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800
