Answer:

Option c = They are Substitutes and have cross price elasticity of 1.67

Explanation:

Cross-Price Elasticity = %change in Quantity demanded of good X

%change in Price of good Y

% change in Quantity Demanded of good X = Q2-Q1 × 100

(Q1+Q2)

% change in Quantity Demanded of good X = 40-20 ×100

(20+40)

% change in Quantity Demanded of good X = 66.67%

% change in price of good Y = P2-P1 × 100

( P1+P2)

Last month Total Revenue = $100

Total Units = 50

Last month Price / unit = 100/50 = $2

This Total Revenue $120

Total units 40

This monthPrice / unit = 120/40 = $3

% change in price of good Y= 3 - 2 × 100

3+2

% change in price of good Y = 1 × 100

2.5

% change in price of good Y = 40%

Cross-Price Elasticity = 66.67

Cross- Price Elasticity = 1.67

Since its greater than 1 its Cross price elasticity of Substitute

also as the price of good y increased from $2 to $3 the quantity demanded of good x increased although its price remained constant which indicates its a substitute good as people preferred buying good x instead of good y

Assume again that the cost of capital is 7 percent and the effective tax rate is 40 percent. How would the payback, internal rat

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

If the effective tax rate increases then the net savings coming from investments will get lowered as a result the investment will have higher payback period (The increase in effective tax rate would lower demand of the product which means there is decline in net saving arising from the sale of the product). Likewise this decrease in annual net savings will also decrease the internal rate of return which shows that their are increased chances of project rejections. The NPV method is based on cash flows and relevant costing just like IRR and payback method but the only difference is that it assumes that the cash earned would be reinvested at cost of capital. The NPV will also decrease due to increased effective tax rate.
