The demand function for a certain make of ink-jet cartridge is the following where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the q

uantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. $ p = - {\color{black}0.07} x^2 -{\color{black}0.7} x +6$ Compute the elasticity of demand when x = 5. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

The answer to the following question is: (-9.34)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = -0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6

The price elasticity of demand = ( change in quality / change in price)

     =   (dp / dx)  (x/p)

     =   d / dx   (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)   x / p

     =   (-0.14x - 0.7)  x/ (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

elasticity = (-0.14x^2 - 0.7x) / (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

at x=5;

elasticity = (-0.14(5)^2 - 0.7(5)) / (-0.07 (5)^2 - 0.7(5)  + 6)

              = (-3.5 - 3.5) / (-1.75 - 3.5 + 6)

              =  -7/ 0.75 = -9.333

              = -9.34

$ 394,900 NET INCOME AFTER TAXES

-$ 62,000 Income Tax Expenses

$ 332,900 Net INCOME

Explanation:

In the multistep income it's possible to segregate the operative expenses and  revenues of the non operative, it also shows the gross profit, which is  

the Net Sales Revenues less the Cost of Goods Sold.  

First it's shown the Gross Profit, then substracted the operating expenses  

to arrive at operating income.

Finally with the non operating movements we have the net Income After Taxes  and with the taxes expenses we have the Net Income of the company.

A company issued 5-year, 7% bonds with a par value of $500,000. The market rate when the bonds were issued was 6.5%. The company
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The correct answer is $17,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Bonds percent = 7%

Par value of bonds = $500,000

Market rate = 6.5%

Cash received = $505,000

So, we can calculate the amount of recorded interest for semiannual interest period by using following formula:

First we calculate the premium on bonds,

So, Premium on bonds = Cash received - Par value of bonds

= $505,000 - $500,000

= $5,000

So, straight line amortization = Premium on bonds ÷ years

= $5,000 ÷ 5

= $1,000

So, Amount of interest expense for first semiannual is as follows:

Amount of interest = ( Par value of bonds × Bonds percent ) ÷ 2 - (straight line amortization ÷ 2)

= ( $500,000 × 7% ) ÷ 2 - ( $1,000 ÷ 2 )

=  $17,500 - $500

= $17,000.

The following information relates to the manufacturing operations of the JNR Printing Company for the year: Beginning Ending Raw
grin007 [14]

Answer: $117,000

Explanation:

So we are to calculate the Raw Materials purchased during the year.

Logically speaking the following should hold,

Raw materials purchased during the year + beginning raw materials = ending Raw materials + Raw materials used

Agreeing on that and rearranging the formula we will have,

Raw Material purchased during the year = Raw Material used during the year + Ending Raw Material Inventory - Opening Raw Material Inventory

Slotting in the figures we will then have,

Raw Material purchased during the year = 114,000 + 56,000 - 53,000

= $117,000

Raw materials purchased during the year amount to $117,000.

Dan purchases a 1000 par value 10-year bond with 9% semiannual couponsfor 925. He is able to reinvest his coupon payments at a n
damaskus [11]

Answer:

9.2%

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"Calculate his nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually over the ten-year period"</em>

Semi annual coupon payments = 9% / 2 = 4.5%

Par value = 4.5% * 1,000 = $45

interest rate per period = r = 7% / 2 = 3.5%

Number of periods, n = 2 x 10 = 20

FV of all the coupons reinvested = 45 / r * [(1 + r)^n - 1]

FV of all the coupons reinvested = 45 / 3.5% * [(1 + 3.5%)^20 - 1]

FV of all the coupons reinvested = $1,272.59

Receipt of par value at the end of the 10 years = par value = 1,000

Total accumulated value at the end of 10 years =  $1,272.59 + 1,000

Total accumulated value at the end of 10 years = $2,272.59

Invested amount = $925

i = nominal interest convertible semi annually.

$925 * (1 + i / 2)^n = 2,272.59  

925 * (1 + i / 2)^20 = 2,272.59

i = 2 * [(2,272.59 / 925)^1/20 - 1]

I = 9.19%

I = 9.2%

So, his nominal annual yield rate convertible semiannually over the ten-year period is 9.2%
