Suppose that in a month the price of oranges increases from $.75 to $1. At the same time, the quantity of oranges demanded decreases from 100 to 80. The price elasticity of demand for oranges (calculated using the initial value formula, also known as the simple elasticity formula) is:_______A 0.6. B. 0.75. C. 025. D. 20.
Answer:
Option A is correct
Price elasticity of demand =0.6
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.
Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic
PED is computed as follows:
PED = % change in quantity /% change in Price
% change in demand = (100-80)/100 × 100 = 20%
% change in price =(0.75-1)/0.75 × 100 = 33.33%
PED = 20%/33.33% = 0.600
Price elasticity of demand =0.6
A woman bought acreage but never saw it and did not use it; although, she regularly paid the real estate taxes on it. Without her knowledge, a man moved his mobile home onto the property, drilled a well for water, and lived there for many years. The man may have become the owner of the acreage if he complied with state laws regardinga. intestate succession.b. adverse possession.c. the statute of frauds.d. the statute of limitations.
Answer: b. Adverse possession
Explanation:
Adverse possession could be described as occupying a property not yours legally. This occurs when the owner of such property can't be found or identified over a very long period of time, then the party going in goes about acquiring the property legally. The individual who acquires the property now could be seen as the legal owner of the property
Tina and Tom are co-workers at Acme Corporation.As night custodians,they work together cleaning the Acme office building at night when the building is empty.Tom regularly makes sexual advances toward Tina that distress her.However,Tina has never complained about Tom's conduct to her supervisor,Mary,who only works during the day.Which of the following statements is most accurate? A) Acme Corporation is strictly liable for Tom's harassment of Tina. B) Acme Corporation may defend that it did not know about Tom's harassment of Tina. C) Acme Corporation is not liable because Tom is not Tina's supervisor. D) Acme Corporation is not liable because Tina voluntarily accepted the job of a night custodian.
Answer:
B) Acme Corporation may defend that it did not know about Tom's harassment of Tina
Explanation:
In this scenario where the two co-workers clean the office at night when the building was empty, Tina has never complained about Tom's misconduct to her supervisor. Also the supervisor does not work nights with Tom and Tina, she works in the morning.
Acme Corporation will use this a defence if sexual harassment charges are filed. The supervisor was not told of the sexual harassment and neither was she on the same shift with the workers. So the employer was not aware of what was happening.
Since the act was only known to her co-worker Tom it will be a case between her and Tom and not her employer (Acme Corporation).
All the following requirements must be satisfied before premiums are waived under a waiver-of-premium provision EXCEPT: Group of answer choices The insured must satisfy the definition of disability in the policy. The insured must furnish proof of disability to the insurer. The insured must satisfy a 2-year waiting period. The insured must be disabled before some predetermined age, such as age 60 or 65.
Answer:
The insured must satisfy a 2-year waiting period.
Explanation:
A premium rider waiver refers to a condition of an insurance policy that relinquishes premium fees if the insurer is severely ill, severely injured, or in the case of disability and cannot pay premiums. Other provisions may exist, such as meeting particular criteria regarding age and health. Most premium riders waiver includes a waiting period during which no demand for compensation can be made. If the policyholder is injured or harmed during this period, he or she can seek a complete refund of the paid premiums. However, the compulsion of the two-year waiting period is off the table.

"A customer in the 28% tax bracket has $4,000 of capital gains and $12,000 of capital losses. How much unused loss is carried forward to the next tax year?"
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
Given that:
A customer in the 28% tax bracket has $4,000 of capital gains and $12,000 of capital losses. How much unused loss is carried forward to the next tax year?
Capital gain = $4000
Capital loss = $12,000
Net loss = ( capital loss - capital gain)
Net loss = ($12,000 - $4,000)
Net loss = $8,000
Maximum net loss deductible from taxes In a year is $3000
Net loss - deductible
$8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000
Unused loss carried into the next year = $5,000

PV Annuity Due PV Ordinary Annuity
8%, 4 periods 3.57710 3.31213
10%, 4 periods 3.48685 3.16986
a. $0 because the asset is amortized by Tower Company.
b. $284,968
c. $307,767
d. $300,000
Answer:
$307,767
Explanation:
We have to calculate the annuity value to estimate the value of the right to use and this is given as under:
Right to Use Value = Equal Annual Payments * (PV of Annuity due at 8%)
Here
Equivalent Annual Payment is $344,152
PV of Annuity due at 8% is 3.57710
By putting values, we have:
Right to Use Value = $344,152 * 3.57710 = $1,231,066
Now we will find amount of amortization expense recorded for first year:
Per year Amortization = $1,231,066 / 4 Years = $307,767

The market value of Charcoal Corporation's common stock is $20 million, and the market value of its risk-free debt is $5 million. The beta of the company's common stock is 1.25, and the market risk premium is 8%. If the Treasury bill rate is 5%, what is the company's cost of capital
Answer:
The company's cost of capital will be "13%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Risk free rate
= 5
Beta
= 1.25
Market risk premium
= 8
Now,
⇒ [tex]cost \ of \ common \ stock=Risk \ free \ rate+Beta\times Market \ risk \ premium[/tex]
On substituting the estimated values, we get
⇒ [tex]=5+(1.25\times 8)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=15 \ percent[/tex]
The total value will be:
= [tex]20 +5[/tex]
= $[tex]25 \ million[/tex]
As we know,
⇒ [tex]WACC=Respective \ costs\times Respective \ weights[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=(\frac{20}{25}\times15)+(\frac{5}{25}\times 5)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=12+1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=13 \ percent[/tex]

The market for plywood is characterized by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 800 – 10P and QS = 50P – 1,000, where P is the price per sheet of plywood and Q measures the quantity of plywood. What is the size of the deadweight loss if the government imposes a price ceiling of $25 per she
Answer:
$3,750
Explanation:
at $25 per sheet of plywood:
total demand = 800 - (10 x 25) = 800 - 250 = 550
total supply = (50 x 25) - 1,000 = 1,250 - 1,000 = 250
the equilibrium price is:
800 - 10P₁ = 50P₁ - 1,000
1,800 = 60P₁
P₁ = 1,800 / 60 = 30
the equilibrium quantity (Q₁) is:
Q₁ = 800 - (10 x 30) = 800 - 300 = 500
at 250 units, the price should be:
250 = 800 - 10P₂
10P₂ = 550
P₂ = $55
total deadweight loss = 0.5 x (P₂ - P₁) x (Q₂ - Q₁) = 0.5 x ($55 - $25) x (250 - 500) = 0.5 x $30 x -250 = -$3,750

In situations where rivals can readily copy the successful features of a company's strategy or duplicate its attempts to attract customers, the only dependable path to competitive advantage is for a company to staff the company's organization with smarter and more talented people. outexecute rivals by developing a collection of resources and capabilities that enables the company to perform certain important value chain activities at lower cost than rivals or with greater effectiveness than rivals (thereby gaining the ability to deliver more value to customers via either a lower price or a more appealing product). do a better job of training, empowering, motivating, and compensating employees than rivals. perform value chain activities quicker or faster than rivals can. outsource more value chain activities than rivals do and thereby achieve lower operating costs.
Answer:
outexecute rivals by developing a collection of resources and capabilities that enables the company to perform certain important value chain activities at a lower cost than rivals or with greater effectiveness than rivals (thereby gaining the ability to deliver more value to customers via either a lower price or a more appealing product).
Explanation:
We note here that the company's rivals can readily copy the successful features of the company's strategy or duplicate its attempts to attract customers, therefore, the company has leverage if builds strenght its on certain important value chain activities at a lower cost than rivals or with greater effectiveness than rivals.
For example, a company's product may be cheaper because of its reduced value chain cost than that of its competitors. Going by the normal law of demand, the lower the price the higher the demand for such a company's products.

Hudson Corp. operates several factories that manufacture medical equipment. The factories have a historical cost of $200 million. Near the end of the company’s fiscal year, a change in business climate related to a competitor’s innovative products indicated to Hudson’s management that the $170 million carrying amount of the assets of one of Hudson’s factories may not be recoverable. Management identified cash flows from this factory and estimated that the undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the factory would be $150 million. The fair value of the factory’s assets is reliably estimated to be $135 million. The change in business climate requires investigation of possible impairment. Which of the following amounts is the impairment loss?
A) $15 million.
B) $20 million.
C) $35 million.
D) $65 million.
Answer:
C) $35 million.
Explanation:
The computation of the impairment loss is shown below:
= Carrying amount of the assets - fair value of the factory assets
= $170 million - $135 million
= $35 million
Since the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset so the impairment loss is recorded and hence the same is to be considered.
Hence, the correct option is c.
