Suppose that when the price per ream of recycled printer paper rises from $4 to $4.50, the quantity demanded falls from 800 to 6

00 reams per day. Using the midpoint formula, what is the price elasticity of demand (in absolute value) over this range? Group of answer choices

Answer:

2.43

Explanation:

Given that

P1 = 4

P2 = 4.50

Q1 = 800

Q2 = 600

Recall that

Using midpoint formula

% change in quantity = [Q2 - Q1/(Q2 + Q1) ÷2] × 100

= 600 - 800/600 +800 ÷ 2 × 100

= -200/700 × 100

= 28.57%

% change in price = [P2 - P1/(P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100

= 4.50 - 4/4.50 + 4 ÷ 2 × 100

= .50 / 4.25 × 100

= 11.76%

Price elasticity of demand = %change in quantity ÷ % change in price

= 28. 57 ÷ 11.76

= 2.429

= 2.43

Answer: The answer is -2.42

Explanation:

P1 = $4 Q1 = 800

P2 = $4.50 Q2 = 600

Using the midpoint formula, we have:

For price:

P2 - P1/(P2 + P1)/2

= 4.5 - 4/(4.5 + 4)/2

= 0.5/4.25

= 0.12

For quantity:

Q2 - Q1/(Q2 + Q1)/2

= 600 - 800/(600 + 800)/2

= -200/700

= -0.29

Price elasticity of demand = change in quantity/change in price

= -0.29/0.12

= -2.42.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Gross profit is the difference between a company's net sales or total revenue and cost of sales or cost of goods sales.

Sales revenue is $433,000

Cost of Goods Sold is $240,000 ​

Sales revenue----------------------------$433,000

Minus: Cost of Goods Sold----------$240,000

Gross profit--------------------------------<u>$193,000</u>

A​ check-processing center uses exponential smoothing to forecast the number of incoming checks each month. The number of checks
Liula [17]

Answer:

a. 41.6 million

b. 42.28 million

Explanation:

A) GIven

forecast in june = Sjune = 42 million

Checks recived in june = Xjune = 40 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for july

Sjuly = a*Xjune + (1-a)*Sjune

=0.2*40 + (1-0.2)*42 million

=8+33.6 = 41.6 million

B) forecast in july = Sjuly = 41.6 million

Checks recived in july = Xjuly = 45 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for August

Saugust = a*Xjuly + (1-a)*Sjuly

=0.2*45 + (1-0.2)*41.6 million

=9+33.28 = 42.28 million

<em>Note: This uses an exponential smoothing to forecast the results, but from the number of checks recived we see that it increases linearly. So we need a linear forecasting method .</em>

Shandra Corporation (a U.S.-based company) expects to order goods from a foreign supplier at a price of 131,000 pounds, with del
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Shandra Corporation

The amount which Shandra Corporation will report as foreign exchange gain in net income for the quarter ended June 30 is:

$5,240

Explanation:

Price of goods = 131,000 pounds

Delivery and payment date = April 20

On February 20, the spot rate for call option on 131,000 pounds = $1.37

Cost of the option = $1,310

The spot rate on April 20 = $1.42

The foreign exchange gain or loss to be reported in net income for the quarter ended June 30 = $0.05 ($1.42 - $1.37

Total gain = ($0.05 * 131,000) - $1,310

= $6,550 - $1,310

= $5,240

b) With this call option, which gives Shandra the right to buy the underlying asset, Shandra hedges his contract to purchase goods from a foreign supplier, and therefore, profits when the spot rate increases from $1.37 on February 20 to $1.42 on April 20.  The profit made is reduced by the cost of the call option.
