A company has only two divisions: division a and division

Answer:

The total required amount is $7,056.46

Explanation:

Given the following details:

You aim to accumulate enough savings to produce an annual cash flow of $55,000 for 25 years during retirement. How much should you save each year, assuming a return of 7.5 percent on your savings?

Final value = 55,000 * 25 = 1,375,000

Using the formula: FV = {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A represents the annual contribution.

To isolate A:

A = (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A = (1,375,000*0.075)/[(1.075^38)-1]= $7,056.46

The following journal entry is detailed below: Cash A/c Dr $4,100, Equipment A/c Dr $23,000, Furniture A/c Dr $47,000, To Account payable $16,000, and To Rodriguez's Capital $58,100. This entry reflects that all adjustments have been recorded, with the remaining balance credited to Rodriguez's Capital. The calculation for the remaining balance is as follows: Cash A/c + Equipment A/c + Furniture A/c - Accounts payable = $4,100 + $23,000 + $47,000 - $16,000 equals $58,100.

Answer:

a) This policy would be advantageous if the demand for sterile needles has elastic characteristics and the cross-price elasticity of demand linking drugs and sterile needles is high and

positive.

b) This policy would be unfavorable if the demand for sterile needles is characterized as inelastic while the cross-price elasticity between drugs and needles is high and

negative.

Explanation:

a) Under what conditions is this policy viewed as beneficial?

This policy is advantageous when the demand for sterile needles is elastic and the corresponding cross-price elasticity with drugs shows a positive and high relationship.

The elastic demand for sterile needles indicates that the quantity demanded increases more significantly in response to price changes.

The positive cross-price elasticity suggests that as the price of needles decreases, the demand for drugs decreases, assuming they are substitutes. Therefore, as the price of sterile needles approaches zero, the

demand for drugs diminishes.

b) Under what conditions is this policy seen negatively?

This policy turns unfavorable when the demand for sterile needles is inelastic and the cross-price elasticity relating drugs to needles is high and

negative.

An inelastic demand for sterile needles suggests the quantity demanded does not increase much with price reductions.

A negative cross-price elasticity indicates that the two products, drugs and sterile needles, are complements. Thus, as the price of sterile needles drops to zero, the demand for drugs rises.
