The correct answer is 2.4.

The simplest way to define elasticity of demand is by using the following formula:

Elasticity of Demand = Change in Demand / Change in Prices

Then, in our question we have:

Demand Elasticity = 12% / 5% = 2.4

Why is it called elasticity of demand?

An elastic product is one in which demand significantly shifts in reaction to price fluctuations. In other words, the product's demand point has expanded significantly from its earlier point. It is inelastic if the amount purchased fluctuates little when the price of the good or service changes.

What Does elasticity of demand tells us?

It reveals how much the quantity needed alters in response to pricing changes made by the company. The price elasticity of demand explains how the amount sought in the market changes when the price changes if we are evaluating a market demand curve.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Money as a medium of exchange means money can be used a means of payment. That is, money is used is sorting everyday transactions. Recall that there are three motives of holding money;

1. Transactionary

2. Precautionary

3. Speculative

Transactionary motive means you can use money to sort your everyday transactions.

Precautionary motive - You can save money for rainy days. (i.e. accident, sickness etc)

Speculative motive means you can use money to invest - make investment decisions with money (buy treasury bills, money market fund instruments, currency, etc)

If the one-year discount factor is 0.8333, what is the discount rate (interest rate) per year?
yan [13]

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

The computation of the discount rate per year is shown below:

As we know that

Discount factor = 1 ÷  (1 + Interest rate)^number of years

0.8333 = 1 ÷ (1 + Interest rate)^1

1 + Interest rate = 1 ÷ 0.8333

Interest rate  = 1.20 - 1

Interest rate = 0.20 or 20%

Hence, the interest rate is 20% by applying the discount factor formula which is shown above
