Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price elasticity of demand = 0.5

Percentage increase in price = 8%

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Percentage\ change\ in\ price}

0.5 =  \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{8}

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.5 × 8

                                                                       = 4%

Therefore, if the price rises by 8% then as a result quantity demanded decreases by 4%.

solong [7]
Exercising doesn't mean you have to spend hours in the gym. Exercises can be done at the comforts of your home too, and there's plenty of exercise available, especially for those who have less time to do so. Just like for example, waiting time. While you are waiting for your clothes in the washing machine to finish, you may use this time to do some basic exercises such as running in place, jumping jacks or carrying weights.

crimeas [40]

Answer:  ER(P) = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

                 6      = 5 + β(17-5)

                 6      = 5 + β(12 )

            6 - 5     = 12β

                1        = 12β

                 β       =  1/12

                 β       = 0.083

Explanation: In determining the Beta of the stock, we need to apply capital asset pricing formula and then make Beta the subject of the  formula. Other variables will be substituted with the exception of Beta, which becomes the subject of the formula.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Hersey's bond = $1125.513

Mars bond = $1172.259

Explanation:

Hersey bond;

Period(t) = 10years = 40(quartely)

Coupon (C) = $30

Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)

Pay at maturity(p) = $1000

Using the both present value (PV) and compound interest formula ;

PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]

PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-40)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^40]

PV =( 753.083251562) + (372.4306236)

PV = $1125.513

Mars bond;

Period(t) = 20years = 80(quartely)

Coupon (C) = $30

Rate (r) = 0.1 = 0.025(quarterly)

Pay at maturity(p) = $1000

PV =[ C × (1 - (1+r)^-t) ÷ r] + [p ÷ (1 + r)^t]

PV = [30×(1-(1.025)^-80)÷0.025] + [1000÷(1.025)^80]

PV =(1033.55451663) + (138.704569467)

PV = $1172.259
