Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": The demand for bourbon whiskey is more elastic than the demand for alcoholic beverages in general.

Explanation:

Elasticity is a measure of the response of variables to a shift in a certain variable. It can explain to what degree the supply or demand for a product or service shifts with the price of the goods or the income of customers. Basic staples such as milk or gasoline tend to be low in elasticity. This is because to change the quantity demanded involves a meaningful change in price or customer income. It's said that luxury goods like high-end vehicles and electronics have high elasticity.

Thus, bourbon whiskey is considered as a luxury beverage compared to other alcoholic drinks. Thus bourbon whiskey is more elastic.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

WACC = 9.22%

Explanation:

after tax cost of debt = 7.8% x (1 - 34%) = 5.148%

Re = 12.4%

cost of preferred stock = 8%

total value:

105,000 common stocks x $22 = $2,310,000

25,000 preferred stocks x $45 = $1,125,00

$1,500,000 bonds x 0.98 = $1,470,000

total value = $4,905,000

capital structure:

common stocks = $2,310 / $4,905 = 47.09%

preferred stocks = $1,125,00 / $4,905 = 22.94%

debt = $1,470,00 / $4,905 = 29.97%

WACC = (47.09% x 0.124) + (22.94% x 0.08) + (29.97% x 0.05148) = 9.22%

In a perfectly competitive industry, the industry demand curve is ____, while in a monopolistic industry, the industry demand cu

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is downward sloping; downward sloping.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition the demand curve for an individual firm is a horizontal line parallel to the x axis. This happens because the firm is a price taker and operate on the price determined by the intersection of demand and supply curves. Any increase in the price will cause the demand to become zero.

While in the monopolistic market a single firm has downward sloping demand curve. Here, the firm is price maker and decides price level. Though, the consumers will demand more at lower price.

The industry supply curve for both will be downward sloping. This happens because, the firms consumers in a market will always demand more at low prices. The demand and price are inversely related.

Company A, require apples to produce his final product. And the provider has a price for each apple, however, if you buy more than 100, he gives you a discount of 5%. Company A can´t afraid this, because it just needs 50 apples per production.

The solution for the company is trying to expand the market, become efficient, to duplicate his production and obtain the discount. Or associate with Company B that needs 50 apples too, to obtain the discount and reduce his cost. (1 big purchase is better than 2 small purchases)
