If the price of natural gas rises, the price elasticity of demand is likely to be the highest one year after the price increase.

<h3>What is the price elasticity of demand?</h3>

A measure of a product's consumption shift in response to a price change is called price elasticity of demand. The quantity shift in percentage terms divided by the price change in percentage terms is used to determine the price elasticity of demand.

The price elasticity of demand would probably be at its peak if the price of natural gas increased. Elasticity will be strongest in the long run since consumers would start exploring alternatives as a result of ongoing price increases.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

the payback period = 4.86 years

Explanation:

Seattle's cash flows are as following:

Year                Cash flow                         Accumulated cash flows

0                     -$150,000                                -$150,000

1                         $30,000                                -$120,000

2                        $30,000                                 -$90,000

3                        $30,000                                 -$60,000

4                        $30,000                                 -$30,000

5                        $35,000                                    $5,000

6                        $35,000                                  $40,000

etc.

The payback period is between year 4 and 5:

  • 4 years + ($30,000 / $35,000) = 4.86 years or
  • year 4 + [($30,000 / $35,000) x 365 days] = 4 years and 313 days

A firm has a marginal cost of $20 and charges a price of $40. The Lerner index for this firm is:________.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

0.50 (B)

Explanation:

The Lerner index is used by monopolists to measure market/monopolist power, and it is defined as the percent markup of price over marginal cost.

It is given by the formula:

L = \frac{P - MC}{P}\\where:\\L = Lerner\ index\\P = price = \$40\\MC = marginal\ cost = \$20\\\\L = \frac{40\ -\ 20}{40} \\L = \frac{20}{40}\\ L = 0.5

Note: in a perfectly competitive market, L = 0, which makes Price = Marginal cost in the equation above. But in a competitive market, it is always the case that L ≥ 0
