Answer:
Quantity demanded declined to 250 rooms per night from 300 rooms per night.
Cross price elasticity of demand is negative.
Explanation:
Cross price Elasticity of demand = [change in quantity demand/ current demand] / [ % change in price]
Cross price elasticity of demand = {[300 - 250] / 300 } / 10
Cross price elasticity of demand is = -1.6
Suppose that a Country Club is considering what price to charge for adults. They know that if they charge a price of $100 then 70 adults will join and if they charge a price of $120 then 50 adults will join. What is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for adults at this Country Club
Answer:
1.43
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price =120 /100 - 1 = 0.2
Quantity = 50/ 70 - 1 = 0.2857
0.2857 / 0.2 = 1.43
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price
p = 0,2
=0.2857
Suppose velocity is constant, but real GDP is not independent of the money supply. If this is the case, a 10 percent increase in the money supply will:
Answer: d. have an unpredictable effect on inflation.
Explanation:
Changes in money supply affect inflation with an increase in money supply causing inflation to rise and a decrease calling inflation to fall. Real GDP is supposed to be independent of the money supply as it is not meant to be affected by inflation.
If a situation arises where real GDP is not actually independent of the money supply then that means that it is not independent of inflation either. Should the money supply therefore rise, the effect on the prices of goods and services (real GDP) in the economy will be unpredictable as it might go either way.
The Down and Out Co. just issued a dividend of $2.91 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 6 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $35 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
14.81%
Explanation:
Cost of equity = (Dividend for next period / Current price) + Growth rate
Cost of equity = (($2.91*1.06) / $35) + 0.06
Cost of equity = $3.0846/$35 + 0.06
Cost of equity = 0.08813143 + 0.06
Cost of equity = 0.14813143
Cost of equity = 14.81%

A. Tax-qualified long-term care policies must provide benefits that are limited to long-term care services.
B. These policies can be provided under an employer sponsored cafeteria plan.
C. These policies allow employers to provide this benefit, take a curent income tax deduction and allow the employee to avoid income inclusion.
D. The premiums for these policies may be deductible either above the line or below line.
Answer:
C. These policies allow employers to provide this benefit, take a current income tax deduction and allow the employee to avoid income inclusion.
Explanation:
Tax qualified long term care contracts usually insurance policies which provide benefit to the company and policy amounts can be deducted from the tax. These benefits are limited to the long term care services. The premium amount of these policies is deductible which provide tax benefit.
If there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too _______________. The quantity demanded will be ________________ the quantity supplied. Thus, the market price must ____________ , which will _____________ the quantity supplied and ____________ the quantity demanded.
Answer:
low
greater
increase
increase
decrease
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
When there is a shortage in the market, the market price is too low. As a result, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Shortage would lead to an increase in price towards equilibrium. This would lead to an increase in the quantity supplied and a decrease in quantity demanded

Allen Green is a single taxpayer with an AGI (and modified AGI) of $214,000, which includes $172,000 of salary, $26,200 of interest income, $10,400 of dividends, and $5,400 of long-term capital gains. What is Allen's net investment income tax liability this year, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount
Answer:
$532
Explanation:
The income that is considered for NIIT is the (a) lesser of the net investment income or (b) the amount by which MAGI exceeds the applicable threshold.
a. $42,000 ($26,200 interest income + $10,400 dividends + $5,400 Long-term capital gains)
b. $14,000 ($214,000 - $200,000)
Note: MAGI threshold of $200,000 for single taxpayer is applicable before they fall under the NIIT bracket of 3.8% of tax.
Net Investment Income = $14,000
Net investment income tax liability = Net Investment Income * 3.8%
Net investment income tax liability = $14,000 * 3.8%
Net investment income tax liability = $532
So, Allen's net investment income tax liability this year is $532.
Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 6.8 percent, has a YTM of 6.2 percent, and has 13 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 6.2 percent, has a YTM of 6.8 percent, and also has 13 years to maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Bond X $1,053.02
Bond Y $948.76
Explanation:
The bond price is the present value of all future cash flows(all semiannual coupons and face value) discounted at the semiannual yield to maturity since coupons are expected semiannually.
Using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
Bond X:
N=26(semiannual coupons in 13 years=13*2=26)
PMT=34(seminnual coupon=$1000*6.8%/2=$34)
I/Y=3.10(semiannual yield to maturity=6.2%/=3.10%)
FV=1000(the face value is $1000)
CPT
PV=$1,053.02
Bond Y:
N=26(semiannual coupons in 13 years=13*2=26)
PMT=31(seminnual coupon=$1000*6.2%/2=$31)
I/Y=3.40(semiannual yield to maturity=6.8%/=3.40%)
FV=1000(the face value is $1000)
CPT
PV=$948.76

Thirsty Cactus Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.50 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 25 percent for the next 9 years and then level off to a 5 percent growth rate indefinitely. If the required return is 13 percent, what is the price of the stock today?
Answer:
$143.40
Explanation:
The dividend for the next year = [tex]\text{ current year dividend} \times (1 + \text{growth})[/tex]
= $ 1.50 x (1 + 0.13)
= 1.50 x 1.30
= $ 1.95
The dividend in the second year = 1.95 x 1.30
= $ 2.54
Similarly, the dividend for the year 9 is = [tex]$1.50 \times (1.30)^9$[/tex]
= $ 15.91
The value of the stock at the end of year 9,
[tex]$=\frac{\text{Dividend of year 10}}{\text{(Required rate of return - Growth rate)}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{15.91\times1.05}{0.13-0.05}$[/tex]
= $ 208.81
The present value factor [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}$[/tex]
where, r = rate of interest = 13% = 0.13
n = years (1 to 9)
So, the present value factor for the 2nd year is [tex]$=\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{(1.13)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{1.2769}$[/tex]
= 0.783147
Therefore, the price of the stock today is calculated as to be $ 143.40

Wagner Assets Management Group holds 3 stocks in their investment portfolio. The amount of the investment and beta of each stock is listed below.
Stock Investment Beta
A $ 200,000 1.50
B 300,000 ??
C 500,000 1.20
If the beta of the portfolio is 0.75, what is the beta of stock B?
Answer:
-0.5
Explanation:
Stock Investment (W) Beta (B) W*B
A 200,000 1.50 300,000
B 300,000 X 300,000X
C 500,000 1.20 600,00
1,000,000 900,000+300,000X
Using the formula of Beta of Portfolio to find out X
0.75 = 900,000 + 300,000X / 1,000,000
0.75 * 1,000,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X
750,000 = 900,000 + 300,000X
750,000 - 900,000 = 300,000X
-150,000 = 300,000X
X = -150,000 / 300,000
X = -0.5
So, the beta of stock B is -0.5.

Cape Corp. will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The company has stated that it will maintain a constant growth rate of 4.5 percent a year forever.
a. If you want a return of 15 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
b. If you want a return of 8 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
Answer:
a.
$27.27
b.
$75
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of the stock
Value of Stock = Expected Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )
a.
Where
Expected Dividend = $3.00
Rate of return = 15%
Growth rate = 4.5%
Placing values in the formula
Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 15% - 4% )
Value of Stock = $3 / 11%
Value of Stock = $27.27
b.
Where
Expected Dividend = $3.00
Rate of return = 8%
Growth rate = 4.5%
Placing values in the formula
Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 8% - 4% )
Value of Stock = $3 / 4%
Value of Stock = $75
Find the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc. The DPS at the end of year 1 is $2.00; at the end of year 2 is $2.40; at the end of year 3 is $2.70. After the third year, the DPS grows at a constant rate of 5%. The required rate of return is 12%.
Answer: 34.33
Explanation:
Firstly, we'll calculate the terminal value
which willl be:
= 2.70 × (1+5%)/(12% - 5%)
= 2.70 x 1.05/(0.12 - 0.05)
= 40.5
Then, the intrinsic value will be:
= 2/1.12 + 2.4/1.12² + (2.7 + 40.5)/1.12³
= 34.33
Therefore, the the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc is 34.33
Felix's profit is maximized when he produces teddy bears. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear he produces is $ , which is than the price Felix receives for each teddy bear he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy bear (that is, one more teddy bear than would maximize his profit) is $ , which is than the price Felix receives for each teddy bear he sells. Therefore, Felix's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Felix is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as .
