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.

If $800 is borrowed at 8% interest, find the amounts due at the end of 4 years if the interest is compounded as follows. (Round
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

(i) $133.12

(ii) $297.6

(iii) $300.8

(iv) $301.6

Explanation:

From the compounding formula;

Future value = Present value (1+\frac{r}{m}) ^{mn}

where r is the rate, m is the number of payment per year, and n is the number of years.

Interest = future value - present value

Given that present value = $800, r = 8%, n = 4 years.

(i) annually,

m = 1, so that;

Future value = 800(1.08)^{4}

                     = $933.12

Interest = $933.12 - $800

             = $133.12

(ii) quarterly,

m = 3, so that;

Future value = 800(1+\frac{0.08}{3}) ^{(4x3)}

                      = 800(1.372)

                      = $1097.6

Interest = $1097.6 - $800

             = $297.6

(iii) monthly,

m = 12, so that;

Future value = 800(1+\frac{0.08}{12}) ^{(4x12)}

                     = 800(1.376)

                     = $1100.8

Interest = $1100.8 - $800

             = $300.8

(iv) weekly,

m = 54, so that;

Future value = 800(1+\frac{0.08}{54}) ^{(4x54)}

                     = 800(1.377)

                     = $1101.6

Interest = $1101.6 - $800

             = $301.6

43) An annuity is set up that will pay $1500 per year for ten years. What is the present value (PV) of this annuity given that t
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

PV= $9,626.49

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $1,500

Interest rate= 9%

Number of years= 10

First, we will determine the future value, using the following formulas:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= cash flow

FV= {1,500*[(1.09^10) - 1]} / 0.09

FV= $22,789.395

Now, the present value:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 22,789.395/(1.09^10)

PV= $9,626.49

A $1,000 face value bond is currently quoted at 101.2. the bond pays semiannual payments of $28.50 each and matures in six years
goblinko [34]
Coupon rate is the yearly interest earned by a loan and it can be calculated with

C = \frac{i}{p}

where i is the annual interest and p is the par value of the bond or the initial loan amount.

For this particular case, since the semiannual payment is $28.50, then the annual payment is 2 x 28.50 = $57.00.

Thus, we have 

C = \frac{57}{1000} = 0.057

From this, the coupon rate is 0.057 x 100% = 5.7%.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Christiaan Huygens

Explanation:

Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch physicist with many credits and inventions some of which is the pendulum clock and production of many telescopes. He is also credited as the father of theoretical physics being the first to make use of formula in physics. His wave theory of light was controversially not widely regarded because of Isaac Newton's earlier theory on corpuscular theory of light.

He published his work on the wave theory of light in the book called Treatise on Light in 1690 which was then seen as the opposite of what Newton (who was already wildly famous) had proposed.
