nistry study consumer behavior through the choices the consumers make while deciding what to buy.

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation: Price elasticity is the measure of the rate of change in the level of quantity demanded due to a change in the level of price.

Price elasticity is usually negative, this means that it follows the law of demand; as price increases quantity demanded decreases.

Also, another incidence that can affect price elasticity is an availability of cheaper alternatives. If cheaper alternatives of a particular product are introduced into the market, the demand for that product will reduce, because consumers will abandon it for its cheaper alternatives, thereby driving the elasticity of that product higher.

Therefore, in the scenario given above, the elasticity is higher than -1.2 because there are new brands that have just been introduced into the market.

Tems11 [23]

Answer: A.There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,500

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that according to the Federal Housing Finance Board, the mean price of a single-family home two years ago was $299,500 and that a real estate broker believes that due to recent credit crunch, the mean price has increased since then and the result is that the null hypothesis is not rejected.

The conclusion based on the results of the test is that since the null hypothesis has been rejected, it simply means that there are sufficient evidence that there has been an increase in the mean price since two years ago.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

An individual is now 50 years old, that he plans to retire in 10 years, and that he expects to live for 25 years after he retire
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Ans.  He must save during each of the following 10 years, at the end of each year $32,452.

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the amount of money that he should have in ten years so he can receive an annual payment of $65,156 for 25 more years (24 payments), we need to bring to present value all 24 payments to year 10. Let me show you the formula.

PresentValue_{10} =\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1) }{r(1+r)^{n} }

Where:

A= $65,156

n= 24

r= 0.08

Therefore the present value in year 10 is:

PresentValue_{10} =\frac{65,156((1+0.08)^{24}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{24} }=686,012

So that is our present value in year 10, or to put it in other words, our future value (if we look at it from year 0). Now we need to find the annuity (amount to save) that with account for $686,012, plus that $100,000 that he already has saved.

Every should look like this.

686,012=100,000*(1+0.08)^{10} +\frac{A((1+0.08)^{10}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{10} }

And we solve this equation for "A".

686,012=A(14.4865625)+215,892

A=\frac{(686,012-215,892)}{14.4865625} =32,452

Best of luck.
