Answer:
Option C-$172.50
Option C,($190,000)is correct
Explanation:
Target cost=competitive market price-target operating profit
competitive market price is $230
target operating profit is 25% of selling price=$230*25%=$57.50
target cost=$230-$57.50=$172.50
Option C is correct as a result of the above computation
Current operating income =($270-$210)*5000=$300,000
new operating income=($230-$210)*(5000*110%)
=$20*5500=$110,000
The new operating is $110,000 from $300,000 recorded earlier,in a nutshell ,the operating income would reduce by $190,000($300,000-$110,000)
Option C is the correct answer
Answer:
Education demand is elastic as compared to salt demand which is highly inelastic.
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of the demand of a good or service relative to it's corresponding change in price. A demand curve can be used to determine the degree of elasticity. A demand curve is a graphical representation of how price varies with quantity of goods and services demanded. The quantity of goods demanded is plotted on the horizontal axis of the graph with the corresponding price plotted on the vertical axis of the graph. With the graph, the elasticity of demand can be calculated. The formula for determining elasticity for demand is;
ED=Q/P
where;
ED=elasticity of demand
Q=percentage change in quantity demanded, where
Q={(Q2-Q1)/Q1}×100
Q2=quantity demanded when price is P2
Q1=quantity demanded when price is P1
P=percentage change in price, where;
P={(P2-P1)/P1}×100
P2=final price
P1=initial price
The formula above can be used to determine the degree of elasticity of a good or service as shown;
If the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, then the demand is elastic. Meaning the demand is very sensitive to changes in price. This usually happens on goods and services that are wants rather than needs. Wants are luxuries that most people can do without or can find cheaper alternatives while needs are goods that most people can't do without.
If the price elasticity of demand is less than 1, then the good or service is inelastic. Meaning the demand is not very sensitive to changes in price. This usually happens on goods and services that are needs. Needs are goods and services that most people cannot do without.
In our case, salt is a need that most people cannot do without, therefor inelastic. However, quantity of education in private universities is highly elastic since there are many alternatives like public universities that are much cheaper compared to private universities. So a change in price will affect the quantity of demand.

Answer:
the $500,000 that the old production line costed must be treated as a sunk cost. Sunk costs are costs that have already been incurred and the firm cannot recover them no matter what they do. in this case, since ankle-length skirts are out of fashion, the production is useless and is worth $0.

Answer:
The WACC is 10.93%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital stricture may be formed of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common stock. The WACC assigns the weights to each of these components based on the finance provided by each of the above components as a proportion of total capital structure or total assets.
The WACC is calculated by taking the market value of each component. The formula for WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- r represents the cost of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and Common stock respectively.
- We take after tax cost of debt. So we multiply rD with (1-tax rate)
Debt = 377000 * 106.5% = $401505
Preferred stock = 6850 * 90.50 = $619925
Common stock = 27500 * 70 = $1925000
Total assets = 401505 + 619925 + 1925000 = $2946430
WACC = 401505/2946430 * 7.81% * (1-0.35) + 619925/2946430 * 6.9% +
1925000/2946430 * 13.45%
WACC = 0.1093 or 10.93%
