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>

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The important thing to remember here is that the interest is compounded semi annually, which means twice a year. When the 1st interest is compounded, the second interest is calculated on that new amount.

(11,500 + (11,500×6%)) = $ 12,190

(12,190 + (12190×6%)) = $ 12921.40

A corporation has 10,000 bonds outstanding with a 6% annual coupon rate, 8 years to maturity, a $1,000 face value, and a $1,100

Year   Cashflow    [email protected]%      PV           [email protected]%     PV

               $                                 $                                  $

  0        (1,100)           1           (1,100)           1             (1,100)

1-8        47.4             5.3349  252.87      7.0197      332.73

 8       1,000             0.4665    465.5      0.7894       789.4

                                  NPV      (381.63)              NPV 22.13                    

Kd = LR     + NPV1/NPV1+NPV2    x (HR – LR)

Kd = 3       + 22.13/22.13 + 381.63   x (10 – 3)

Kd =  3       + 22.13/403.76 x 7

Kd = 3        + 0.38

Kd = 3.38%  

Explanation:

Cost of debt is calculated based on internal rate of return formula. In year 0, we will consider the current market price of the bond as cashflow. In year 1 to 8, we will consider the after-tax coupon as the cashflow. The after-tax coupon is calculated as R(1 - T).  R is 6% x $1,000 = $60 and tax is 21%. Thus, we have $60(1  - 0.21) = $47.4. then we will discount the cashflows for  8 years so as to obtain the internal rate of return. The internal rate of return represents cost of debt.

Vesna [10]

The question is incomplete:

You are the new manager in an Indian office. You ask one of your supervisors to move a desk and place it in another corner of the office. The next day you notice it has not yet been done. Why?

-The supervisor was offended you asked him/her and refused to do anything about it

-The supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself

-Because things get done slowly in India

Answer:

-The supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself

Explanation:

India is a society with a high power distance. This means that there is hierarchy, inequality and employees expect directions. Also, decisions tend to be centralized and people in high positions expect privileges and a certain status. Because of that, in this situation the reason for not moving the desk from the options given is that the supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself as he/she considers that it is not part of the job as he/she has a higher position that doesn't involve to do that.

The other options are not right as the supervisor would not be offended a this is a culture in which people expect to receive orders and it is not related to things getting done slowly there.

to calculate your monthly lease payment on a three-year lease using the "residual value" of a $26,500 MSRP car, subtract the 48%
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The approximate monthly payment is $383

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the approximate monthly payment on a 3-year lease agreement and we have been told what to do in the question.

Firstly, we start off by subtracting 48% residual value from the MSRP

48% of 26,500 = 48/100 * 26,500 = $12,720

We subtract this from $26,500

That will be $26,500 - $12,720 = $13,780

We have 3 years and that is 36 months

So the approximate monthly payment will be;

$13,780 / 36 = 382.7777777777778 which is approximately $383 to the nearest whole digit
