Answer:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = 0.1</em>

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand as below:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded for product X/ % change in price of product Y</em>

<em />

Starbucks raises its price by 5 percent, so that <em>percentage changes in price of Starbucks' products</em> are 5

McDonald's experiences a 0.5 percent increase in demand for its coffee, so that <em>percentage changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee </em>is 0.5

=> <em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee/ %changes in price of Starbucks' products</em>

<em>= 0.5/5=  0.1</em>

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

8.1%

Explanation:

Firstly, let look at the formula for calculating weighted average cost of capital (WACC):

WACC = (D/A) x r_D x (1-t) + (E/A) x r_E + (PE/A) x r_PE, where:

A: Market value of company asset;

D: Market value of company debt;

E: Market value of company equity;

PE: Market value of company preferred equity;

r_D: cost of debt;

r_E: cost of equity/retained earnings;

r_PE: cost of preferred equity;

t: tax rate

Putting all the numbers together, we have:

WACC = 35% x 6.5% x (1-25%) +  55% x  10.5%  + 10% x 6% = 8.1%

Alja [10]

Answer:  $10,906

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchased machinery at the beginning of Year 1 = $86,100

machinery has an estimated life of five years,

Estimated residual value = $4,305

Accumulated depreciation = $49,077 at the end of Year 2

Year 3 Depreciation expense:

= \frac{Cost\ of\ machinery - Estimated\ residual\ value - Accumulated\ depreciation}{3}

= \frac{86,100 - 4,305 - 49,077}{3}

= $10,906
