Initial price, P₀ = $1.25
Initial demand, Q₀ = 30 million

New price, P₁ = $1.75
New demand, Q₁ = 35 million

By definition, price elasticity is
\eta = \frac{(Q_{1}-Q_{0})/(Q_{1}+Q_{0})}{(P_{1}-P_{0})/(P_{1}+P_{0})}
η = (5/65)/(0.5/3)
   = 0.4615

Answer: η = 0.46 (nearest hundredth)

This means that greater demand makes it possible to increase the price. Usually, this is not the case because lowering the price increases sales.

Levart [38]

Answer: d. Pen and pencils.

Explanation:

Cross-price elasticity measures the degree of responsiveness of the demand for a certain good towards the change in the price of a related good. Percentage is used to measure cross-price elasticity.

In case of two goods like pens and pencils, cross price elasticity is positive. That is, if the price of a pen increases, it will lead to an increase in the demand for pencils. The propertional change in price of pens give a positive relative change in the demand for pencils.

Currently digby is paying a dividend of $19. 67 (per share). if this dividend were raised by $3. 64, given its current stock pri
Oliga [24]

Given its current stock price the dividend yield would be 42.39%.

Given,

Digby is paying a dividend of $19. 67 (per share)

Dividend were raised by $3. 64

Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Market price per share.

As there is no share price given, I shall assume that the share price is $100. The new share price will be:

= 100 * (1 + $3. 64)

= $464

The Dividend yield would then become:

= 19.67 / 464

= 42.39%

The dividend yield will be calculated on the basis of the dividend per share divided by the market price per share and this will be calculated on the basis of the percentage.

Suppose the interest on a foreign government bonds is 7.5%, and the current exchange rate is 28 foreign currencies per dollar. I
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

implied credit spread =  1.13 %

Explanation:

given data

interest on foreign government bonds = 7.5%

current exchange rate = 28

forward exchange rate = 28.5

risk-free rate = 4.5%

solution

we get here risk free rate by the forward exchange rate that is

F = spot exchange rate × \frac{1+Rr}{1+Rs}   ....................1

put here value

28.5 = 28 ×  \frac{1+Rr}{1+0.045}  

solve it we get

Rr = 0.0637

Rr = 6.37%

so

implied credit spread = interest on foreign government bonds - risk free rate

implied credit spread = 7.5% - 6.37%

implied credit spread =  1.13 %

Ollie leased a building in old town. ollie installed a washer and dryer unit and a new furnace in the basement of the building w
HACTEHA [7]

I believe the answer is: The furnace is a fixture, but the washer and dryer are not.

Fixtures refers to a set of objects whose position is completely fixed and could not be removed unless by destroying a part of the building.  Washer and Dryer are not fixed to any wall of the building and can be moved simply by the cooperation of two people or with the helps of stroll.
