The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is -3.5 based on the information shown in the question above. This problem can be solved using the elasticity formula which stated as Ed = ((Q1-Q0)/Q0)% / ((P1-P0)/P0)%. In this formula, Ed is the elasticity of demand, Q1 is the current quantity, Q0 is the previous quantity, P1 is the current price, and P0 is the previous price (Calculation: -3.5 = ((600-400)/400)% / ((1.5-1.75)/1.5)%)<span>.</span>

Kermit's Hardware's (KH) fixed operating costs are $20.8 million and its variable cost ratio is 0.30. The firm has $10 million i
motikmotik

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

EBIT:

= Revenues - Fixed operating costs - (variable cost ratio × revenues)

= $32.2 - $20.8 - (0.30 × 32.2)

= 1.74  million

KH's degree of total leverage:

= (EBIT + Fixed cost) ÷ (EBIT - Interest)

= (1.74 + 20.8) ÷ [(1.74 - (9% × 10)]

= 26.83

Therefore, the KH's degree of total leverage is 26.83.

Pie

Answer:

amount of the net source $15

Explanation:Working\ capital= Current\ assets-Current\ liabilities

source\ of\ cash =[Cash+AR+Inventory]- [Amount\ Payable]

cash = $183

received amount = $392

inventory =$714

payable amounts =$463

current assest = (183+392+714)-463=$826

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

cash = $167

received amount = $409

inventory =$682

payable amounts =$447

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

Hence since current liabilities is more than current assests, therefore there will be loss of accounts

Hence source of cash= (826-811) = $15.

True or false: the market for tomatoes does exhibit the two primary characteristics that define perfectly competitive markets.
Alenkinab [10]
True - The tomato exhibits characteristics of a perfectly competitive market. Firstly, it is made up of many buyers and sellers. Secondly, all firms that partake in the trade do not control the market. Instead, they are price takers. As such, they sell tomatoes according to the prevailing market prices per unit of tomatoes. All firms also have a relatively small market share.

Answer:

Hager should recognize a pre-tax gain on this exchange of $12,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the pre-tax gain on this exchange that should be recognized, we would have to calculate first the total gain as follows:

Total Gain=$480,000-$384,000

Total Gain=$96,000

Because the exchange lacks commercial substance and some cash was received a portion of gain is recognized=$60,000/$480,000=0.125

Therefore, amount of pre-tax gain=$96,000*0.125=$12,000

Hager should recognize a pre-tax gain on this exchange of $12,000
