Suppose that in the coming year, you expect Exxon-Mobil stick to have a volatility of 42% and a beta of 0.9, and Merck's stock t

Answer:

2.33; the demand for movies is elastic

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for price elasticity of demand:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)

Here, the change in quantity demanded is defined as

= Q2 - Q1

= 30 - 15

= 15

The average quantity demanded is

= (30 + 15) ÷ 2

= 22.50

The change in price is computed as

= P2 - P1

= $8 - $6

= $2

And the average price is

= ($8 + $6) ÷ 2

= 7

Thus, after computing, the result for price elasticity of demand is 2.33

As we were not instructed on the method for calculation, the mid-point formula was utilized.

From this calculation, we deduce that the demand for movies is indeed elastic.

Answer:

a. The depreciation expense isn't separately listed, but its influences are shown in the projected tax payments.

Explanation:

The cash budget reflects all cash transactions, both receipts and payments

It includes interest and dividend disbursements, indicating cash outflows when payments are made in cash

Additionally, it impacts the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and encompasses cash inflows related to long-term sources such as bond issuance

However, since depreciation is a non-cash expense, it's not explicitly accounted for, but its impact is included in tax payment projections

Response:

The interest rate is 5.7%          $21.204

Clarification:

I = Interest, T = time;;R is rate; P = principal

John earned this interest by July 1, 1993 as follows:

           I = = 72

Consequently, the total amount in John's account by July 1, 1993 would then be

= $300 + $72= $372

This indicates he utilized these funds at an interest rate of q.

On July 1, 1998, John’s total was $520, meaning the interest accumulated in these five years equals $520 - $372 = $148.

Using the simple interest formula: Interest = PRT/100

148 =

       = 14,800 =2600q

Thus, the rate is found to be 5.7%

The interest amount between July 1, 1993, and July 1, 1994 calculates as

    I =

          = $21.204
