Answer:

The answer to this question is b. Yours will be positive and your roommate's would be negative.

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand to changes in income. In other words, it measures how changes in income of consumers will affect the quantity of commodities demanded by such consumers.

An income elasticity of demand can be positive or negative.

It is positive, when an increase in income leads to an increase in the quantity demanded by the customer. However it is referred to as negative when an increase in income leads to decrease in the quantity demanded by the consumer.    

In  the question above, it can be seen that the increase in income of the first person brought about increase in the commodity demanded thereby making his income elasticity of demand positive. one the other hand, the increase in the income of his roommate, brought about decrease in his demand which translate to the fact that his income elasticity of demand would be negative.

Hence the answer given.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Out the money.

Explanation:

A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is out the money.

An out the money ultimately implies that an option only has an extrinsic value but no intrinsic value. The extrinsic value of an option refers to the difference between its intrinsic value and the market value (premium). An extrinsic value is affected by the volatility in the market and its time value. The intrinsic value of an asset refers to the calculated, true or real value of an asset and is solely affected by internal factors.

A call is out the money when the strike price is greater than or above the underlying price of an asset. This simply means that, it's market value (price) has fallen below its strike price.

<em>In this scenario, the market price of the call is 77 while its strike price is 80; thus, the call option is out the money by 3.</em>

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Accounts receivable are expected payments from customers. They exist because businesses sell goods and services to customers on credit. Account receivables are asset accounts. An increase in assets accounts is debited, and a decrease is credited.
