<u>If the price of the pants increases, it will lead to a fall in demand for the pants while the supplier will supply more at the given price. This will push the price in the downward direction, and the market will reach the equilibrium. </u>

Further Explanation:

Law of Demand:

According to this law 'when the price of the goods increases, quantity demanded will fall and when the price of the goods decreases, the quantity of good demanded will increase while other things remain constant. So, the price of the pants increase, the quantity demanded will decrease.

Law of Supply:

According to the Law of supply, when the price of the goods increases, the quantity supplied of the goods will increase and when the price of the goods decreases, the quantity supplied of goods will decrease. The supply curve is upward sloping since the quantity supplied and prices are directly proportional.

The increase in supply will put pressure on the price bring them down, and the market will reach the equilibrium. The demand will equal the supply at this point of price.

<u>Therefore, the price that will prevail in the market will be equal to the price where the demand and supply are equal. And the market will be in equilibrium. </u>

For each of the following pairs of goods, state whether the cross-price elasticity is likely positive, negative, or zero. Explai

ioda

Answer:

a. Hulu and Netflix.

Positive. They are close substitutes

Hulu and Netflix both provides television shows, so a consumer can choose between them. They are good substitutes

b. Tortilla chips and salsa.

Negative. They are complements.

Tortilla chips are consumed with salsa sauce. So a demand for salsa increases so does demand for tortilla chips.

c. Movie and popcorn.

Negative. They are complements.

The more people watch movies the more they will want to buy popcorn.

d. Running shoes and high heels

Close to zero. While they are substitutes they are not close substitutes.

Each has its own time of use. Consumers by them independently.

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity is a measure of the quantity demanded of one good to changes in price of another good.

So when a good's demand reduces with increase in price of another it is negative cross price elasticity. This is common with complements.

When quantity demanded of a good increases with increase in price of another, they are substitutes.

However when there is little effect on the quantity demanded with increase in price of the other good they are unrelated

Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-free securities yield a nominal annual rate of 3% in the United Stat

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

$1.55

Explanation:

Interest rate parity = (1+Rh) / (1+Rf) = F1 / S0

Rh = rate on home currency here US is home 3% p.a = 3%/4 = 0.75%

Rf= rate on foreign currency here Germany 3.5% p.a = 3.5%/4 = 0.875

F1 = Forward rate , S0= Spot market rate

So, (1+0.0075) / (1+0.00875) = F1 / 1.56

1.0075/1.00875 = F1 / 1.56

0.998761 = F1 / 1.56

F1 = 0.998761 * 1.56

F1 = 1.55806716

F1 = $1.55

Thus, the 90-day forward rate is $1.55
