What is the formula for the price elasticity of demand?
Percent change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price
The point method measure the price elasticity of demand for specific change in the product’s price. What is the formula?
%Q= Quantity demanded after the change - quantity demanded before the change/ quantity demanded before the change. %P = Price after the change - price before the change/price before the change. %E = %Q/QP
What s the midpoint method (arc Method) formula for elasticity of demand?
%E= ((Q1-Q2)/(Qz+Q2))/((P1-p2)/(P1+P2))
How do you evaluate the elasticity of demand?
Greater than = relatively elastic
Equal to one - unitary elastic
Less than one = Relatively inelastic
Infinite = perfectly elastic
What is the formula for elasticity of supply?
%E= Percentage change in quantity supplies/percentage change in price
What is the formulat for Net Exports
Exports - imports
What is the formula for real GDP
nominal GDP/price index
What is the formula for GDP expenditures approach
consumer spending+investment spending+government spending+Net exports
What is the formula for GDP Income approach
salaries+rents+interest+proprietor/partnership income+corporate profits= national income
National income+indirect business taxes+net foreign factor income(+-) capital consumption allowance.
What is the formula for inflation
current year price index- prior year price index/prior year price index
What is the formulat for consumer price index
cost of market basket in current year/ cost of market basket in base year.
What is the formula for the multiplier
1/(1-mPC)
MPC=Marginal propensity to consume
What is the formula for the monetary multiplier
1/required reserve ratio
What is the formula for rate of return?
return on investment/amount invested
What is the formula for expected rate of return?
sum (possible rate of return x probability)
What is the standard deviation of return
square root( sum(R1 - expected rate of return)squared x probability)
What is the coefficient of variation
Standard deviation/expected rate of return
How do you analyze the coefficient of variation
The lower the ratio the better the risk return tradeoff
How do you analyst the coefficient of correlation?
1 means the two variables always move together.
-1 means the two variables move in opposite direction.
What is the Capital Asset pricing model (CAPM)?
required rate of return= risk free rate+beta(market risk-risk free rate)
What is the degree of operating leverage formula?
DOL= % change in earnings before interest and taxes/ % change in sales
How do you analyze DOL>?
High percentage of fixed costs is more risky than a firm in the same industry that relies on variable costs.
What is the formula for degree of financial leverage (DFL)?
%change in EPS/ % change in earnings before interest and taxes.
What is the formula for degree of total leverage?
DTL= % change in EPS/% change in sales
What is the common stock valuation
dividend per share+ required rate of return
What is the constant growth model
dividends per share expected next year/( required rate of return- growth rate)
What is the formula for Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
((market value equity/equity+debt)xcost of equity))+((debt//equity+debt) x cost of debt) x (1- tax rate)
What is the current ratio
current assets/current liabilities
