Answer:

(A) -5/6

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price

% change in quantity demanded = (60-40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%

% change in price = ($6-$15)/$15 × 100 = -$9/$15 × 100 = -60%

Price elasticity of demand = 50% ÷ -60% = -5/6

What amount needs to be invested today at 6% simple interest in order to have $4000 in 2 years?
garri49 [273]
Data:
A (amount) = ?
P (Principal) = $ 4000
r (rate) = 6% → 0.06
t (time) = 2 years

Formula:
A = P(1+r*t)

Solving:
A = P(1+r*t)
A = 4000(1+0.06*2)
A = 4000(1+0.12)
A = 4000*1.12
\boxed{\boxed{A = \$\:4480}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Describe a real or made up but realistic example of a time when you might apply for a loan.
kicyunya [14]
Well people apply for loans when they need money for a certain goal. Like in the movie fantastic beasts and where to find them in the first part they are at a bank. The guy in their tries to get a loan so he can start a company as an entrepreneur. He wants to be able to own his own bakery so he could make cookies cakes and several other designs. Another reason people get loans is when their business is failing. Like the macys owner in the Florida Oviedo town mall took a few loans to help start up the company and pay to own the store their.  But it recently closed. Those are two examples of when people took a loan to either start or continue a buisness when money was short.
