A recent study determined the following elasticities for Volkswagen Beetles:Price elasticity of demand = 2Income elasticity of d

emand = 1.5The supply of Beetles is elastic. Based on this information, are the following statements true or false? Explain your reasoning.a. A 10% increase in the price of a Beetle will reduce the quantity demanded by 20%.b. An increase in consumer income will increase the price and quantity of Beetles sold. Since price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, total revenue will go down.

Answer:

A) TRUE

As the price elasticity of the demand is 2 this means that for every percentage increased in pric, the consumers will drop their demand 2% twice as much.

B) TRUE

The supply is elastic threfore it can respond to increase in demand with more production (if it wasn't inelastic it wouldn't)

C) TRUE

As the decrease is quantity is more than proportional of the increase in price an increase in price reduces the total revenue.

You are considering the following two mutually exclusive projects. The required rate of return is 14.6 percent for project A and
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

b. project A; because its NPV is about $4,900 more than the NPV of project B

Explanation:

Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.

Mutually exclusive projects are those projects where only one project is selected for investment after analysis. NPV is the most preferred method in the evaluation of mutually exclusive projects for capital budgeting. That project is accepted which has higher positive NPV.

Net present value of Project A =$13,157.24

Net present value of Project A =$8,256.98

Difference = $13,157.24 - $8,256.98 = $4,900.26

Net Present value working is made in MS Excel File which is attached with this answer, please find it.

Youngstown Construction plans to discontinue its roofing segment. Last year, this segment generated a contribution margin of $65
ipn [44]

Answer:

B. a decrease of $30,000

Explanation:

The computation of company’s overall profit is shown below:-

To continue = Contribution margin - Fixed cost

= $65,000 - $70,000

Loss = $5,000

To Discontinue =  Unavoidable fixed cost ÷ 2

= $70,000 ÷ 2

= $35,000

So, Net Loss = To continue (Loss) - To Discontinue

= $5,000 - $35,000

= $30,000

Therefore there is a decrease of $30,000

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

b. a credit to Service Revenue for $11,500.

c. a credit to Sales Revenue for $38,500.

Explanation:

The customer pays 40,000 then we solve for the present value of the future payments

30,000 / 1.08 + 30,000/1.08^2 = $ 53,497.94

Is is the amount net of interest that the company is charging the franchisee

<u>The entry would be as follows</u>

Cash   40,000 debit

account receivables 53,497.94 debit

 Sales Revenue               38,500 credit

 Service Revenue             11,500 credit

 Franchise Fee*           53,497.94 credit

As the fanchisee will not recieve further support from the franchisor It is already earned If the franchisee will receive support over the two year period then This would be unearned as the Franchisor has to provide assistance over the years to earned.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

X = 789.70

Explanation:

we solve for X considerign each deposit is discounted at the given rate using the lump sum formula:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

\frac{400}{1.06}+\frac{X}{1.06^2}  +\frac{500}{1.06^3} = 1,500\\X= (1,500 - \frac{400}{1.06} - \frac{500}{1.06^3}) \times 1.06^2

X = 789.7018868
