Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

$Q^d_{gas} = 15 - 3 P_{gas} + 0.02 I +0.11 P_{BT} -0.008P_{AUTO}$

$Q^d_{gas} = 15 - 3 (30) + 0.02(40000) +0.11 (25) -0.008(22000)$

$Q^d_{gas} = 15 - 90 + 800+2.75 -176$

$Q^d_{gas} = 551.75$

So, Income elasticity = $\dfrac{dQ^d}{dI}*\dfrac{I}{Q^d}$

$= 0.02 *\dfrac{40000}{551.75}$

= 1.45 which is greater than 1

It is positive → i.e. Normal good

The cross elasticity = $\dfrac{dQ^d}{dPBT}*\dfrac{PBT}{Q^d}$

$= 0.11 \times \dfrac{25}{551.75}$

= 0.0049 which is greater than 0

It is positive → hence they are substituents.

Answer:

1.d)1 22/32

2. b)45/64

3. c)3 1/3

4. a)98.19

5. b)5%

Explanation:

1. 54/32 converted to a mixed number is ________.a) 22/32 b)1.6875 c) 1/38 d)1 22/32

Mixed number is another way of writing improper fraction

54/32= 1 (54 - 32)/32

= 1 22/32

Therefore, option d) 1 22/32 is the correct option

2. The product of one and four thirty-seconds and twenty thirty-seconds is ________. a)1 24/32 b)45/64 c)56/32

d)720

One and four thirty-seconds = 1 4/32

Twenty thirty-seconds = 20/32

= 1 4/32 × 20/32

= 36/32 × 20/32

= 9/8 × 5/8

= 45/64

Therefore, option b)45/64 is the correct option

3. One and eight thirty-seconds divided by twelve thirty-seconds is ________. a)480/1024 b)20/1024 c)3 1/3 d)3 40/32

One and eight thirty-seconds = 1 8/32

Twelve thirty-seconds = 12/32

= 1 8/32 ÷ 12/32

= 40/32 ÷ 12/32

= 40/32 × 32/12

= 40/12

= 3 4/12

= 3 1/3

Therefore, option c) 3 1/3 is the correct option

4. A u.S. Treasury bond is trading at 98 and 6/32. Convert this price to its decimal form. a)98.19 b)96.63 c)9/86 d)98.06

98 and 6/32 = 98 + 6/32

We convert 6/32 to decimal

= 98 + 0.1875

= 98.1875

≈ 98.19

Therefore, Option a is the correct option

5. What is the percentage increase if the s&p 500 index is currently trading at 1,100 and rises 55 points? a)4.5% b)5% c)55% d)5.5%

Percentage increase = Increase/ Orginal amount × 100

Increase = 55 points

Original amount = 1,100

Percentage Increase = 55/1100 × 100

= 0.05 × 100

= 5%

Therefore, option b)5% is the correct option

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$47,500

Explanation:

The computation of the dollars amount received for the 5,000,000 yen is shown below:

= Expected yen receivable × forward rate

= 5,000,000 × $.0095

= $47,500

To find out the dollar amount we multiply the Expected yen receivable with the forward rate so that accurate value can come. And, we ignored the current spot rate and the turns out spot rate

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost TTT, in dol

andriy [413]

Answer: 2,200 units.

Explanation:

The complete exercise is:

$T = 5c + 12 f$

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost T, in dollars, for shipping c units to the closer location and shipping f units to the farther location. If the total shipping cost was $47,000 and 3,000 units were shipped to the farther location, how many units were shipped to the closer location?

Given the following equation:

$T = 5c + 12 f$

You know that "T" is the total shipping cost (in dollars), "c" is the number of units shipped to the closer location and "f" is the number of units shipped to the farther location.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can identify that, in this case:

$T=47,000\\\\f=3,000$

Then, knowing those values, you need to substitute them into the given equation:

$47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)$

And finally, you must solve for "c" in order to calculate the number of units that were shipped to the closer location.

You get that this is:

$47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)\\\\47,000-36,000 = 5c\\\\11,000=5c\\\\\frac{11,000}{5}\\\\c=2,200$

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

expect the customer to wait = 6.74 sec

1 car would expect to see in the system.

Explanation:

given data

arrive rate λ = 300 per hour

verify the debit card u = 1 card per 5 second = 720 card per hour

solution

L(q) = 300² ÷ ( 2 × 720 (730-300) )

L(q) = 0.1453

L(q) = 2.0833

and

L(s) = 0.1453 + 300/720

L(s) = 0.5619 W(s)

expect the customer to wait = 0.5619 ÷ 300

expect the customer to wait =0.001873

expect the customer to wait = 6.74 sec

and

L(s) 0.5619 = 1 cars

so 1 car would expect to see in the system.

Hettenhouse Company's perpetual preferred stock sells for $102.50 per share, and it pays a $9.50 annual dividend. If the company

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of preferred stock, the following formula should be used which is shown below

= Annual dividend based on preferred stock ÷ (Price per share × Flotation cost)

where,

Flotation cost = 1- rate

= 1- 4% = 0.96

= $9.50 ÷ ($102.50 × 0.96)

= $9.50 ÷ $98.4

= 9.65%

The flotation cost should be deducted because it is a one time expense. Thus, it would be minus from price per share.

Hence, the company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%
