The demand for tickets to an Ethiopian Camparada film is given by D(p)= 200,000-10,000p, where p is the price of tickets. If the price of tickets is 12 birr, calculate price elasticity of demand for tickets and draw the demand curve
Answer:
a. The price elasticity of demand for tickets -1.50.
b. See the attached pdf file for the demand curve.
Explanation:
a. Calculate price elasticity of demand for tickets
Given;
p = 12
D(p) = D = 200,000 - 10,000p .................................................................... (1)
Substituting p = 12 into equation (1) to find the value of D, we have:
D = 200,000 – (10,000 * 12) = 200,000 - 120,000 = 80,000
Differentiating equation (1) with respect to p, we have:
dD/dp = -10,000
To calculate elasticity of demand, we use the formula for calculating the elasticity of demand as follows:
E = Elasticity of demand = (p / D) * (dD/dp) ................... (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:
E = (12 / 80,000) * (-10,000) = 0.00015 * (-10,000) = -1.50
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand for tickets -1.50.
Note: Since the absolute value of E i.e. |-1.50| is greater one, it therefore implies that the demand for tickets is elastic.
b. Draw the demand curve.
Note: See the attached pdf file for the demand curve
To draw the demand curve, we need to obtain the new price and the new quantity demanded as follows:
We start by assuming that the price of tickets decreases from 12 birr to 11 birr. Therefore, the percentage change in price is obtained as follows:
Percentage change in price = ((New price – Old price) / Old price) * 100 = ((11 - 12) / 12) * 100 = -8.33%
To calculate the percentage change in demand for tickets, we use the following formula for calculating the elasticity of demand:
E = Percentage change in demand / Percentage change in price ............. (3)
Since from part a above, E = -1.50
And, as calculated here, Percentage change in price = -8.33%, or 0.0833
Substituting the values into equation (3) and solve for Percentage change in demand, we have:
-1.50 = Percentage change in quantity demanded / -0.0833
Percentage change in quantity demanded = (-0.0833) * (-1.50) = 0.12495, or 12.495%
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded = 12.50%
Since the answer is positive, this implies that the demand for tickets D increases by 12.50% when price for tickets decreases by 8.33%. This confirms that the demand for tickets is truly elastic as the percentage change in demand for ticket of 12.50% is greater than the percentage change in price of -8.33%.
The new D can therefore be calculated as follows:
New D = D + (D * Percentage change in demand demanded) = 80,000 + (80,000 * 12.50%) = 90,000
From the calculations above, we have:
Initial price = 12 birr
New price = 11 birr
Initial quantity = D = 80,000
New quantity = New D = 90,000
The values above are then used to draw the demand curve in the attached pdf file.
Since there is a negative relationship between price and quantity demanded in economics, the curve in the attached excel file shows the effect of a decrease in the price of tickets from 12 birr to 11birr (as shown by the arrow) on the quantity demanded for tickets that increases from 80,000 to 90,000 (as shown by the arrow).
Since the demand for tickets is elastic as obtained in part a above, it implies that the percentage change in the quantity demanded for ticket is greater than the percentage change in the price of tickets. This makes the demand curve to be flatter as shown in the attached pdf file
From the demand curve in the attached pdf file; the demand curve for tickets is flatter, and the gap between the initial quantity demanded 80,000 and the new quantity demanded 90,000 is wider than the gap between the initial price 12 birr and the new price 11 birr. This indicated that the percentage change in the quantity demanded of 12.50% which is an increase from 80,000 to 90,000 is higher than the percentage n the price for tickets of 8.33% which is a decrease from 12 birr to 11 birr.
Halifax Technologies primarily relies on 100% equity financing to fund projects. A good opportunity is available that will require $250,000 in capital. The Halifax owner can supply the money from personal investments that currently earn an average of 8.5% per year. The annual net cash flow from the project is estimated at $30,000 for the next 15 years. Alternatively, 60% of the required amount can be borrowed for 15 years at 9% per year. Using a before-tax analysis and setting the MARR equal to the WACC, determine which plan, if either, is better.
Answer:
100% equity financing from personal investments is better
Explanation:
100% equity financing option.
Expected annual return on the project = $30,000
Lost investment opportunity = 8.5% * 250,000 = $21,250.
Therefore incremental return from 100% equity financing option = $30,000 - $21,250 = $8,750 annually.
60% debt and 40% equity financing option.
Expected annual return on the project = $30,000
Lost investment opportunity = 8.5% * 40% * 250,000 = $8,500.
Interest rate on debt = 9% * 60% * 250,000 = $13,500.
Therefore incremental return = $30,000 - $8,500 - $13,500 = $8,000 annually.
Since the 100% financing gives a higher return than the debt-equity option, the 100% financing option is better.

All three of the $5000 billion GDP figures (Production, Income and Spending) are in ____________ dollars.
Answer: D inflation adjusted, real
Explanation:
The GDP calculation acquired in the flow chart of $5,000 billion were all done after adjusting for inflation which means that they were in real dollars.
Inflation adjusted GDP enables more effective comparison between different periods as inflation tends to inflate the prices of goods and services and can make one think that the economy has grown more than it actually has.
When the value of GDP is inflation adjusted, it can then be seen just how much the economy improved or shrank.

The following U.S. Treasury bond is listed in the The Wall Street Journal: Rate Mo/Yr Bid Asked 9.50 Oct 38 135:30 136:04 This $1,000 par value bond has 18 years to maturity and makes semi-annual coupon interest payments. If you purchased this bond, what would be the bond's yield to maturity
Answer:
6.35%
Explanation:
If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40
the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months
the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods
yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]
YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%

Osgood Company, which applies overhead at the rate of 190% of direct material cost, began work on job no. 101 during June. The job was completed in July and sold during August, having accumulated direct material and labor charges of $27,000 and $15,000, respectively. On the basis of this information, the total overhead applied to job no. 101 amounted to:
Answer: $51300
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Osgood applies overhead at rate of 190% of direct cost material and we've been given the direct cost material as $27, 000. Therefore, the total overhead applied to the job will be:
= $27000 × 190%
= $27000 × 1.9
= $51300
It is estimated that the net cash flows to be received from the copyright will be $63,000, and its fair value is $59,850. The accumulated amortization at the end of 2021 was $15,435.

(If there is a loss on impairment, then enter amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
Answer:
The amount of the impairment = $3,150.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net cash flows = $63,000
Fair value of copyright = $59,850
Accumulated amortization = $15,435
Impairment gain = $3,150 ($63,000 - $59,850)
b) There is an impairment gain of $3,150 since the net cash flows is higher than the fair value of the copyright. Copyright is an intangible asset and impairment assessment must be conducted yearly.

Rocky Mountain Bottling Company produces a soft drink that is sold for a dollar. At production and sales of 1,000,000 units, the company pays $700,000 in production costs, half of which are fixed costs. At that volume, general, selling, and administrative costs amount to $320,000, of which $70,000 are fixed costs. What is the amount of contribution margin per unit
Answer:
contribution margin per unit = $0.40
Explanation:
total variable production costs = $350,000
total fixed production costs = $350,000
total variable S&A expenses = $250,000
total fixed S&A expenses = $70,000
total costs = $1,020,000
total fixed costs = $420,000
total variable costs = $600,000
sales price = $1
variable cost per unit = $600,000 / 1,000,000 = $0.60
contribution margin per unit = $1 - $0.60 = $0.40
If a firm's sales are $250,000 and its variable costs are $190,000, the contribution margin in dollars is:_______.
a. $440,000
b. $60,000
c. $190,000
d. $250,000
Answer:
b. $60,000
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Sales price = $250,000
Variable cost = $190,000
Contribution margin can be defined as the subtraction of variable cost from the sales price.
Mathematically, it given by the formula;
[tex] Contribution \; margin = sales \; price - variable \;cost[/tex]
[tex] Contribution \; margin = 250000 - 190000[/tex]
Contribution margin = 60,000
Therefore, the contribution margin in dollars is $60,000.
Even though commercial airlines have excellent safety records, in the weeks following a crash, airlines often report a drop in the number of passengers, probably because people are afraid to risk flying. a) A travel agent suggests that since the Law of Averages makes it highly unlikely to have two plane crashes within a few weeks of each other, flying soon after a crash is the safest time. What do you think? b) If the airline industry proudly announces that it has set a new record for the longest period of safe flights, would you be reluctant to fly? Are the airlines due to have a crash?

C. The "Law of Averages" states that outcomes must even out in the short run. This means that the overall probability of an airplane crash is lower due to recent crashes.
D. The "Law of Averages" does not apply to this situation. The overall probability of an airplane crash does not change due to recent crashes.
We are informed from the question that commercial airlines have excellent safety records, in the weeks following a crash, airlines often report a drop in the number of passengers, probably because people are afraid to risk flying. A travel agent suggests that since the Law of Averages makes it highly unlikely to have two plane crashes within a few weeks of each other, flying soon after a crash is the safest time.
In this case, There is no such thing as the "Law of Averages." The overall probability of an airplane crash does not change due to recent crashes.
There was fact that the commercial airlines has excellent safety records in the past and there is a crash after the following week, all these doesn't have any connection with people flying soon after a crash because they think is the safest time.
Airline transportation has its pros and cons. The answers are given below;
My point is that There is nothing like the "Law of Averages." The total likelihood of an airplane crash will not be altered due to recent crashes. When one take a flight, it is usually done at your own risk.If the airline industry proudly announces that it has set a new record for the longest period of safe flights, I would not be be reluctant to fly. Every airline companies are known to have strict maintenance of their planes are its parts.
They ensure that their flights does not have any issue on the way, Even though things do happen, that does not mean I would be scare and not fly.
The airline is not due to crash. This is because the likelihood of a crash occurring is not due to the time a previous crash occurred. One should not be scared or afraid of flying.

Despite its drastic downsizing a decade ago under a federally funded bailout and bankruptcy restructuring, General Motors again finds itself with too many U.S. factories that can turn out too many vehicles. GM's factory-utilization rate in North America averaged 95.1% over the past two years, below Ford's 111.9% and Toyota 's 101.4%. (Rates can exceed 100% when factories work a 3rd shift or schedule overtime work on weekends.) The auto industry often runs its factories dawn-till-dusk or even around the clock to boost their efficiency. Factory-utilization rates typically measure how much production capacity a plant uses based on a 16-hour workday. GM says its utilization rate is 100% on average when its round-the-clock truck and SUV lines are figured in with the relatively sleepy factories making cars. GM said it is working to "drive further improvements" in its plant utilization, including adding crossover SUVs to more factory lines. A plant in the Kansas City area that now makes only the Malibu is scheduled to begin assembling a small Cadillac SUV soon. But such a switch-over typically takes car makers several years of lead time, to order and install new assembly-line equipment and tooling.
Answer:
The question is actually missing (see attached image):
the answer is:
D. Less than that of its competitors.
Explanation:
Personally, I believe that GM is an extremely spoiled child that refuses to assume responsibility for its continuous and never ending mistakes. GM has either filed for bankruptcy or threatened to do so twice in the last 30 years or so, and every time the US government has to bail them out. But GM keeps doing things wrong.
It doesn't matter if you like their cars or not, GM is terribly managed. No other company in US history has received so much financial aid from the government and continued to lose money and work inefficiently. The problem is that whenever things go wrong, stockholders lose their money but the executives keep getting tens of millions of dollars. If a company is managed in such a disastrous way, their top management shouldn't get paid that much.
A car factory costs a lot of money, and not using it efficiently is outrageous considering GM's history. If they had never received a cent from the government, then its only their problem. But the government lost $11.2 billion on GM's last bailout. During the 1980s GM lobbied fro the government to impose import quotas on Japanese cars because they were better cars and GM couldn't compete against them. So whenever they do things wrong, big brother has to help them. During the last couple of years GM had to sell most of its foreign operations in order to get cash, and you generally do not make money by selling your assets.
When a mentally challenged candidate is overlooked by a recruiter even though he possesses skills that are perfect for the job, which perceptual distortion is likely to be experienced by the recruiter?
a. Halo effect
b. Selective perception
c. Ability stereotypes
d. Projection
e. Self-fulfilling prophecy
The correct answer is C. Ability stereotypes
Explanation:
Ability stereotypes imply incorrect or inaccurate perceptions about people with different abilities including people with intellectual or cognitive disabilities or mentally challenged people. This often means people consider mentally challenged people unable to perform tasks, understand certain information, among others.
This type of stereotyping occurs in the situation presented because the recruiter is not considering a specific candidate because he/she is mentally challenged. However, this condition does not imply the candidate does not have the skills or qualities to be in this job. Indeed, this candidate can be more suitable than an individual with regular intellectual abilities.
The SP Corporation makes 48,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 10.70 Direct labor $ 9.70 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4.05 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.00 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $27.55. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice $240,000 ($91,200) $343,200 148,800
Answer:
f the company buys the component, income will decrease by $148,800.
Explanation:
We will take into account only the avoidable costs.
Make in-house:
Direct materials $ 10.70
Direct labor $ 9.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4.05
Total unitary cost= $24.45
Buy:
Price= $27.55
We need to determine the total cost of both options:
Make in-house= 24.45*48,000= $1,173,600
Buy= 27.55*48,000= $1,322,400
Difference= 1,173,600 - 1,322,400= $148,800
If the company buys the component, income will decrease by $148,800.

You are considering how to invest part of your retirement savings.You have decided to put $400,000 into three stocks: 61% of the money in GoldFinger (currently $28/share), 24% of the money in Moosehead (currently $73/share), and the remainder in Venture Associates (currently $9/share). Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $43/share, Moosehead stock drops to $67/share, and Venture Associates stock drops to $6 per share. a. What is the new value of the portfolio? b. What return did the portfolio earn? c. If you don't buy or sell any shares after the price change, what are your new portfolio weights?
Answer:
a. Number of shares of GoldFinger = 61%*400000/24
Number of shares of GoldFinger = 10166.6667
Number of shares of Moosehead = 24%*400,000/73
Number of shares of Moosehead = 1315.0685
Number of shares of Venture Associates = (1 - 61% - 24%) * 400,000/9
Number of shares of Venture Associates = 15% * 400,000/9
Number of shares of Venture Associates = 6666.6667
New value of the portfolio = 10166.6667*$43 + 1315.0685*$67 + 6666.6667*$6
New value of the portfolio = $437,166.6681 + $88,109.5895 + $40000.0002
New value of the portfolio = $565,276.2578
b. The return that the portfolio earn is = ($565,276.2578 - $400,000) / $400,000 = $165,276.2578 / $400,000 = 0.4131906445 = 41.32%
c. Weight of Goldfinger is now = (10166.6667*$43) / $565,276.2578
= $437166.6681 / $565,276.2578
= 0.7734
= 77.34%
Weight of Moosehead is now = (1315.0685*$67) / $565,276.2578
= $88109.5895 / $565,276.2578
= 0.15587
= 15.59%
Weight of Venture is now = 100% - 77.34 - 15.59%
= 7.07%
