Suppose that in a month the price of movie rentals decreases from​ $3.25 to​ $3. At the same​ time, the quantity of movie rental
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The initial price of movie rentals is $3.25.

The initial quantity is 100.

The price falls to $3.

This causes demand to rise to 120.

The price elasticity of demand a ratio of change in quantity demanded to change in price level.

The elasticity is calculated at -2.25, through the process given in images.

The price elasticity of demand here is greater than 1 which means it is elastic.

So, option a is the correct answer.

House of Haddock has 5,000 shares outstanding and the stock price is $140. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $20 per
Alenkinab [10]

Answer & Explanation:

(a) Gordon growth model:

Gordon growth model is a type of dividend discount model in which not only the dividends are factored in and discounted but also a growth rate for the dividends is factored in and the stock price is calculated based on that.

Formula:

P =  D1   / (r − g)

where:

P = Current stock price

g = Constant growth rate expected for

dividends, in perpetuity

r = expected return in the stock

D1  = Value of next year’s dividends

​  

As House of Haddock has 5,000 shares outstanding and the stock price is $140 and the company is expected to pay a dividend of $20 per share next year and thereafter the dividend is expected to grow indefinitely by 5% a year.​

Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

140 = 20 / ( r - .05 )

r = .192857

As the stock price is $140

So total value of the company = 140 * 5,000

total value of the company = 700,000

If the dividend growth rate is cut to 2.5%

P = 20/(.192857-.025)

P (one share) = 119.14

So the total value of the company becomes 595,745.

(b)

The expected stream of dividends per share for an investor who plans to retain his shares rather than sell them back to the company can be found be multiplying the previous dividend per share with 1.025

Expected stream of dividends per share = 20 * 1.025

= 20.5

Expected stream of dividends per share = 20.5 * 1.025

= 21.01

Expected stream of dividends per share for an investor = 20, 20.50, 21.01, 21,54 and so on.

Smithson Company uses a job-order costing system and has two manufacturing departments— Molding and Fabrication. The company pro
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

1)

<u>a) First, we need to calculate the total estimated overhead:</u>

Total overhead= 1,100,000 + (5*50,000)= 1,350,000

<u>Now, we can determine the overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,350,000/50,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $27 per machine hour

<u>b) </u>

Job D-75:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 27*20,000

Total cost= $1,600,000

Job C-200:

Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 27*30,000

Total cost= $1,760,000

c) Selling price= 150% of manufacturing costs

Job D-75= 1,600,000*1.5= $2,400,000

Job C-200= 1,760,000*1.5= $2,640,000

d) COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS=  0 + (1,600,000 + 1,760,000) - 0

COGS= $3,360,000

<u>2) </u>

<u>a) </u>

Molding= (800,000/20,000) + 5= $45 per machine hour

Assembly= (300,000/30,000) + 5= $15 per machine hour

<u>b) </u>

Job D-75:

Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 45*20,000

Total cost= $$1,960,000

Job C-200:

Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 15*30,000

Total cost= $1,400,000

<u>c) </u>

Job D-75= 1,960,000*1.5= $2,940,000

Job C-200= 1,400,000*1.5= $2,100,000

<u>d)</u> COGS= 0 + (1,960,000 + 1,400,000) + 0

COGS= $3,360,000

A $1,000 face value bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent, a market price of $989.40, and 10 years left to maturity. Interest is p
dlinn [17]

Answer:

4.95%    

Explanation:

For computing the yield to maturity when expressed in real terms, first we have to find out the yield to maturity by applying the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $989.40

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35

NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  the yield to maturity is 7.15%    

Now in real terms, it would be

= 7.15% - 2.2%

= 4.95%

Number of filed their taxes = 100

Total number of people = 1,000

% people filed taxes = [100/1000]100

% people filed taxes = 10%
