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 fast-food restaurant has determined that the chance a customer will order a soft drink is 0.90. The proba- bility that a custo
azamat

Answer:

(a) The probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b) The probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

Explanation:

Let the events be denoted as follows:

S = an order of soft drink

H = an order of hamburger

F = an order of french fries.

Given:

P (S) = 0.90

P (H) = 0.60

P (F) = 0.50

(a)

It is provided that the event of ordering a soft drink and fries are independent.

If events A and B are independent then the probability of event (A ∩ B) is:

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

Compute the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries as follows:

P(S\cap \bar F)=P(S)\times P(\bar F)\\=P(S)\times[1-P(F)]\\=0.90\times (1-0.50)\\=0.45

Thus, the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b)

It is provided that the conditional probability that a customer will order fries given that he/she has already ordered a hamburger as, P (F|H) = 0.80.

The conditional probability of an event B given another event A has already occurred is:

P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B}{P(A)}

Compute the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries as follows:

P(F|H)=\frac{P(H\cap F)}{P(H)}\\P(H\cap F)=P(F|H)\times P(H)\\=0.80\times 0.60\\=0.48

Thus, the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.’s 5.8 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,030. These bonds make annual pa
defon

Answer:

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%

Explanation:

given data

coupon bonds  = 5.8%

bonds price =  $1,030

maturity time = 14 year

required return on the bonds = 5.1 percent

solution

we know here market price of the bond is Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value  

so that face Valueof  bond = $1,000

and here annual Coupon Amount will be

annual coupon amount = $1000 × 5.80%

annual coupon amount = $58

and here Market Price of the Bond will be

Market Price of Bond = Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value    ......................1

here Present Value of Coupon Payments  at PVIFA 5.10% and 14 Years

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor (PVIFA) =  \frac{1-(1/(1+r)^t}{r}  ....2

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor =  \frac{1-(1/(1+0.0510)^14}{0.0510}

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor = 9.83566

and

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) 5.10%, 14 Years= \frac{1}{(1+r)^t}   ...........3

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) = \frac{1}{(1+0.0510)^14}

Present Value Inflow Factor = 0.49838

so

Market Price of Bond = ( $58 × 9.83566 ) + ( $1,000 × 0.49838 )

Market Price of Bond = $1,068.85

so total rate of return on the Bond will be

total rate of return on the Bond = [ { Annual Coupon Amount + ( Change in Bond Price ) } ÷ Current Price]  ...............4

total rate of return on the Bond = \frac{58+(1068.85-1030)}{1030}

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%
