Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.

(A bond forward) A certain 10-year bond is currently selling for $920 A friend of yours owns a forward contract on this bond tha
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: -$100

Explanation:

Value of forward contract = Selling price - Forward price on bond

Forward price = Present value of cashflows + Present value of bond

Periodic rate = 7%/ 2 = 3.5% per semi annum

= 8% / 2 = 4%

3.5% will be used to discount the payment 6 months from now as that is the 6 month rate. The rest will be 4%.

= (80 / (1 + 3.5%) ) + ( 80 / ( 1 + 4%)²) + (940 / ( 1 +4%)²)

= $1,020.342

= $1,020

Value of forward contract = 920 - 1,020

= -$100
