Answer:

The correct answer is more inelastic; more elastic.

Explanation:

Inelastic demand is that demand that is not very sensitive to a change in price. In this way, before a variation in the price the quantity demanded reacts in a less than proportional way. For example, if the price increases by 10% and in response the quantity demanded is reduced by less than 10%, then the demand is said to be inelastic.

The elasticity of demand, also known as the elasticity-price of demand, is defined as the percentage change of the quantity demanded before a percentage change in the price.

An elastic demand is that demand that is sensitive to a change in price. In this way, a small variation in the price causes a more than proportional change in the quantity demanded. Thus, for example, if the price increases by 10% and in response the quantity demanded is reduced by more than 10%, then the demand is said to be elastic.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Histogram.

Explanation:

A Histogram is a graphic representation of grouped data in intervals. The data comes from quantitative variables. A histogram allows generating an idea of the distribution of the data or samples. Qualitative data can also be used but the amount of data must be large. This type of graph plots rectangular vertical bars together with proportional height to the intervals they represent.

Thus,<em> the project in the example can use a histogram to portrait its level of sales through the different seasons.</em>

1. How much interest would you pay on a loan of $1,230 for 15 months at 15 percent APR if the interest is 18.75 per $100?
Alina [70]
1. How much interest would you pay on a loan of $1,230 for 15 months at 15 percent APR if the interest is 18.75 per $100?


 The chart probably refers to interest per $100 of loan. So, the interest for a $1,230 loan would be (1230/100) * 18.75 = 230.625 ~ 230.63
So, the answer will be B $230.63.


2. Sherri borrowed $3,200 at 13 percent APR for 18 months. If she must pay 19.5 per $100, what is the total interest?
3,200 / 100 = 32 ... x 19.5 = 624 
Principal x int rate x time = 3200 x .13 x 1.5 yr = 624 interest

So, the answer will be the A $624.


3. What is the total amount that Sherri (in question number 2) will repay?

The correct answer will be the $3,824.

Answer: Ethical Obligations and Decision-Making in Accounting-The Heading  is devoted to helping students cultivate the ethical commitment needed to ensure that their work meets the highest standards of integrity, independence, and objectivity.

* This program is designed to provide instructors with the flexibility and pedagogical effectiveness, and includes numerous features designed to make both learning and teaching easier.

Explanation: The first, addressed in Part I, is the administrative cost of deregulation, which has grown substantially under the Telecommunications Act of 1996.Part II addresses the consequences of the FCC's use of a competitor-welfare standard when formulating its policies for local competition, rather than a consumer-welfare standard. I evaluate the reported features of the FCC's decision in its Triennial Review. Press releases and statements concerning that decision suggest that the FCC may have finally embraced a consumer-welfare approach to mandatory unbundling at TELRIC prices. The haphazard administrative process surrounding the FCC's decision, however, increases the likelihood of reversal on appeal.Beginning in Part III, I address at greater length the WorldCom fraud and bankruptcy. I offer an early assessment of the harm to the telecommunications industry from WorldCom's fraud and bankruptcy. I explain how WorldCom's misconduct caused collateral damage to other telecommunications firms, government, workers, and the capital markets. WorldCom's false Internet traffic reports and accounting fraud encouraged overinvestment in long-distance capacity and Internet backbone capacity. Because Internet traffic data are proprietary and WorldCom dominated Internet backbone services, and because WorldCom was subject to regulatory oversight, it was reasonable for rival carriers to believe WorldCom's misrepresentation of Internet traffic growth. Event study analysis suggests that the harm to rival carriers and telecommunications equipment manufacturers from WorldCom's restatement of earnings was $7.8 billion. WorldCom's false or fraudulent statements also supplied state and federal governments with incorrect information essential to the formulation of telecommunication policy. State and federal governments, courts, and regulatory commissions would thus be justified in applying extreme skepticism to future representations made by WorldCom.Part IV explains how WorldCom's fraud and bankruptcy may have been intended to harm competition, and in the future may do so, by inducing exit (or forfeiture of market share) by the company's rivals. WorldCom repeatedly deceived investors, competitors, and regulators with false statements about its Internet traffic projections and financial performance. At a minimum, WorldCom's fraudulent or false

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

ROA for 20X1= 10%

Profit margin for 20X1= 5%

Assets turnover= 2

ROA for the coming year= 11.25%

Explanation:

Weber corporation return on assets for 20X1 can be calculated as follows

ROA= Net income/Average total assets × 100

= 2,450,000/24,500,000 × 100

= 0.1 × 100

= 10%

The profit margin can be calculated as follows

= Net income/sales × 100

= 2,450,000/49,000,000 × 100

= 0.05 × 100

= 5%

The assets turnover ratio can be calculated as follows

= Sales/Average Total assets

= 49,000,000/24,500,000

= 2

The company ROA if when the turnover rate for next year is2.25 and the profit margin remain unchanged can be calculated as follows

= profit margin × assets turnover ratio

= 5% × 2.25

= 11.25%
