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

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

B. 950,000

Explanation:

The value of the building is calculated as the amount of appraisal is $374,000 for Land $1,100,000 for building and $726,000 for equipment which makes a total of $2,200,000 ($374,000 + $1,100,000 + $726,000). The amount of building appraisal is then divided by the total amount of appraisal to calculate the percentage of building appraisal which gives us a percentage of 5% ($1,100,000 / $2,200,000) and then finally this 5% is multiplied by the amount of property cost of Harding which gives us the value of building which is $950,000 ($1,900,000 * 5%).

(c) how many times larger is the u.s. economy than the ethiopian economy?
Art [367]
To approximate the size of USA in relation to Ethiopia we proceed as follows:
Size of Ethiopia GDP in 2017=$ 76.9x10^9
Size of USA GDP=19.6x10^12
thus the scale factor of USA to Ethiopia will be:
19.6x10^12/76.9x10^9
=254.9
this can be written as a whole number to be
