Problems and Applications Q8 Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 4.3 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $1.50. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price
We already have the percentage change in quantity demanded as -4.3%.
We need to find the percentage change in price using the midpoint method.
= (New price - Old price) ÷ ((New Price + Old price) / 2)
Old price = 1.50 - 0.25 = $1.25
Percentage change in price = (1.50 - 1.25) ÷ ((1.50 + 1.25) / 2)
= 18.18%
Price elasticity of demand = -4.3% / 18.18%
= -0.24
According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. TRUE.
The statement is true because the price elasticity of demand here is Inelastic and when this is the case, revenue rises when the price of the good or service increases.
The price elasticity of demand is inelastic when it is less than 1 which is the case here.

The number of times interest charges are earned is computed as
a. net income plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
b. income before income tax plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
c. net income divided by interest charges.
d. income before income tax divided by interest charges.
Answer:
B)income before income tax plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
Explanation:
Interest charges can be regarded as
sum of interest that is on one's credit card account, It can be be defined base on transaction type, such as
cash advances , purchases, or balance transfers. If one is making less than full balance payment or making payment after due date, then one would be charged. Another point is that there is is no grace period for cash advances and balance transfers, i.e as the transaction is been made, there would be accrual of interest. Interest rate is a term for amount that is been charged by lender for usage of assets, and it's been expressed in term of percentage of the principal. It should be noted The number of times interest charges are earned is computed as income before income tax plus interest charges, divided by interest charges.
It has been said that Earned Value Management (EVM) came about because the Federal Government often used "Cost-plus" contractors with project organizations. Cost-plus contracting allows the contractor to recover full project development costs plus accumulate profit from these contracts. Why would requiring contractor firms to employ earned value management help the government hold the line against project cost overruns?
Answer:
Earned Value Management (EVM)
The Federal Government requires contractor firms to employ earned value management because it enables it to assess the work that has been completed against an established baseline plan in terms of technical, time, and cost performance.
Armed with this information, it is in a better position to make important project decisions and help to control over-spending.
Explanation:
Earned value management (EVM) as a integrated project management methodology details the project time schedule, costs, and scope to ensure correct measurement of project performance. Using planned and actual values, EVM enables future predictions, improving the ability of project managers to adjust according to requirements.
Star Corp. has a rate of return on assets of 10% and a debt/equity ratio of 2 to 1 before entering into an operating lease as the lessee. Not including any indirect effects on earnings, when Star Corp. records the operating lease, the immediate impact on these ratios is a(an): Return on Assets Debt/Equity a. increase increase b. decrease decrease c. increase decrease d. decrease increase
Answer:
d. decrease increase
Explanation:
The formula for the return on asset is as follow
Return on Asset = Net income / Total Assets
As the asset value is increased as a result of lease entry, The return on asset ratio will decrease because there will be no change in net income.
As the debt of the company will increase
The formula for debt-equity ratio is as follow
Debt equity ratio = Total Debt / Total equity
As the debt will increase as a result of the lease and there will be no impact on the equity of the company. Hence, the debt-equity ratio will increase.

The relationship between current assets and current liabilities is called:_______
a) the matching principle.
b) useful in determining income.
c) useful in evaluating a company's liquidity.
d) useful in determining the amount of a company's long-term debt.
Answer:
Option "C" is correct.
Explanation:
Option "C" is correct because the current assets and current liabilitites are used to find the liquidity. The current liabilities are the one that has to pay within the year. Similarly, the current assets are the ones that can be converted into cash within the year. Therefore, the evaluation of both gives the idea of the company's liquidity.

b. We have:
MSE: 47.49
The forecast for week 7: 16.35
c. The exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.
Explanation:
a. Develop the three-week moving average forecasts for this time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7 (to 2 decimals if necessary).
Note: See Part a of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.
From the attached excel file, we can have:
MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 252.11 / 4 = 63.03
The forecast for week 7 = 15.33
b. Use = 0.2 to compute the exponential smoothing values for the time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7.
Note: See Part b of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.
From the attached excel file, we can have:
MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 284.96 / 6 = 47.49
The forecast for week 7 = 16.35
Note that under exponential smoothing, forecast for week 2 has to be the Time Series Value for week 1.
b. Compare the three-week moving average forecast with the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. Which appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE?
Since 47.49 MSE of the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2 is less than 63.03 MSE of the three-week moving average forecast, it implies that the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.

Given Total revenue = 459000
Sales discount = 41000
Sales allowances = 35000
Net Revenue = 459000 - 41000 - 35000
Net revenue = 459000 - 76000
Net Revenue = $383000
The net revenue of the company for the year is $383000.
You bought Sumsung stock for $50 on April 1. The stock paid a dividend of $5 on July 1, and had a price of $53. It is now Oct. 1, and the stock price is $52. Treasury bills yield 1%.
Required:
a. What was the arithmetic average quarterly return?
b. What was the standard deviation of quarterly returns?
Answer:
a. 7.05%
b. 12.7%
Explanation:
a. The returns are:
First return July 1 = (Current price - Previous price + Dividend) / Cost price
= (53 - 50 + 5) / 50
= 16%
Second return Oct 1 = (52 - 53) / 53
= -1.9%
Arithmetic mean = (16 + (-1.9%)) / 2
= 7.05%
b. Variance = ((16% - 7.05%)² + (-1.9% - 7.05%)²)
= 160.205%
Standard deviation = √160.205
= 12.7%
The Metropolitan Bus Company (MBC) purchases diesel fuel from American Petroleum Supply. In addition to the fuel cost, American Petroleum Supply charges MBC $225 per order to cover the expenses of delivering and transferring the fuel to MBC's storage tanks. The lead time for a new shipment from American Petroleum is 10 days; the cost of holding a gallon of fuel in the storage tanks is $0.03 per month, or $0.36 per year; and annual fuel usage is 180,000 gallons. MBC buses operate 288 days a year.
Required:
a. What is the optimal quantity for MBC?
b. How frequently should MBC order to replenish the gasoline supply?
c. The MBC storage tanks have a capacity of 15,000 gallons. Should MBC consider expanding the capacity of its storage tanks?
d. What is the recorder point?
Answer:
A. 15,000
B. 12 times
C. No Need Of Expanding the storage tanks
D. 6,250 gallons
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine the optimal quantity for MBC
Using this formula
Optimal quantity=√2×Demand quantity×Ordering cost÷Holding cost
Let plug in the formula
Optimal quantity=√2×180,000×$225÷$0.36
Optimal quantity=√225,000,000
Optimal quantity=15,000
Therefore the optimal quantity for MBC is 15,000
b. Calculation to determine How frequently should MBC order to replenish the gasoline supply
Using this formula
MBC order=Demand quantity÷ Economic Ordering quantity
Let plug in the formula
MBC order=180,000÷15,000
MBC order=12 times
Therefore How frequently should MBC order to replenish the gasoline supply will be 12 times
c.) If The MBC storage tanks have a capacity of 15,000 gallons there is NO NEED OF EXPANDING the storage tanks reason been that the OPTIMAL ORDER QUANTITY is 15,000 which is the same with MBC's tank storage capacity.
d. Calculation to determine the reorder point
Using this formula
Reorder point = Lead time× Average demand quantity
Where,
Lead time=10 days
Average Demand Quantity=180,000/$288
Average Demand Quantity=625
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point =10 days*625
Reorder point=6,250 gallons
Therefore Reorder point is 6,250 gallons

= 9% × $21 million
= 0.09 × $21 million
= $1.89 million
Amount Received will then be:
= (21million - 1.89million) - (21million)(0.02)
= $19.11 million - $0.42 million
= $18.69 million
Then, the effective annual rate will be:
= 1.89/18.69
= 10.11%
Therefore, the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement is 10.11%.

In Brazil, the reference base period for the CPI is 2000.By 2016, prices had risen by 187 percent since the base period. The inflation rate in Brazil in 2017 was 3.4 percent, and in 2018, the inflation rate was 3.7 percent.Calculate the CPI in Brazil in 2017 and 2018. Brazil's CPI in 2019 was 318. Did Brazil's cost of living increase or decrease in 2019?The CPI in Brazil for 2017 is __.The CPI in Brazil for 2018 is __.Did Brazil's cost of living increase or decrease.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Reference base year is 2000 and as it's the base year, So the CPI is 100.
Now
The prices have risen by 187% by 2016 means the CPI is
= 100 + 187% of 100
= 287.
And,
There is 3.4% inflation in 2017 that means prices have increased by 3.7% in 2017 compared to 2016.
Now
CPI is 287 + 3.4% of 287
= 296.758
CPI in 2017 = 296.758
In 2018, inflation is 3.7%,
CPI = 296.758 + 3.7%
= 307.74
CPI in 2018 = 307.74
In 2019, CPI is 318, which is approx 3.3% higher than as compared to the year 2018 so
Brazil's cost of living rised in 2019.
CPI of Brazil in 2017 is 296.76
CPI of Brazil in 2018 is 307.74
So,
Brazil's cost of living increases every year
