Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

If a a product is price elastic that means it is sensitive to price. If there is an increase in price, the quantity demanded of that product will drop and if there is a decrease in price, the quantity demanded of that product will rise. Price elasticity has a value greater than one.

Because the price rose from $200 to $250, quantity demanded fell from 8000 units to 6,000 units.

If it were to be inelastic, the quantity demanded will not change or will change with very little percentage.

Sati [7]

Answer:

rate of return 9.22%

Explanation:

15% return on fund value - 2.4% fund expenses = 12.6% net fund gain

then, the shares were purchased with a loan which required to paiy 3% of interest up-front

therefore, we didn't invest 100% of the loan but 97%

0.97 x .126 =  0,12222

now, we subtract the 3% paid of interest:

.1222-0.03 = .0922 = 9.22%

Automobile firms can use their inputs to make hybrid cars or "regular" (non-hybrid) cars. If the equilibrium price of hybrid car
77julia77 [94]

Answer: a) an increase in the Equilibrium price of "regular" cars.

Explanation:

It is stated that the automobile companies use their inputs to make either the <em>hybrid cars</em> or the <em>regular cars</em>.

If the price of the <em>Hybrid cars</em> rises sharply, Automobile companies will make more <em>Hybrid cars</em> so as to take advantage of the situation and make more profit.

This would reduce the amount of inputs that they have available for <em>regular cars</em> and so they will make less <em>regular cars. </em>

As this supply of <em>regular cars</em> decreases,the supply curve will shift to the left and the price will increase to cater for this reduction in supply.

Consider the following demand schedule: Price Quantity Demanded $25 20 $20 40 $15 60 $10 80 What is the price elasticity of dema
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

3.05

1.38

0.725

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Arc elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

Price $25-$20

change in quantity demanded  = 40 - 20 = 20

average of both demands = (40 + 20) /2 = 30

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/30 = 0.67

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $25 - $20 = $5

average of both price = ($25 + $20) / 2 = 22.5

Price $20-$15

change in quantity demanded  = 60 - 40 = 20

average of both demands = (60 + 40) /2 = 50

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/50 = 0.4

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $20 - $15 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $20) / 2 = 17.5

midpoint change in price = 5 / 17.5 = 0.29

0.4/0.29 = 1.38

Price elasticity of demand = 0.67 / 0.22 = 3.05

change in quantity demanded  = 80 - 60 = 20

average of both demands = (80 + 60) /2 = 70

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/70 = 0.29

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $15 - $10 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $10) / 2 = 12.5

5/12.5 = 0.4
