Answer: Inelastic
Explanation:
Based on the information given, we would calculate the elasticity of demand which would be:
= (Change in Quantity / Change in Price) (Initial Price/ Initial Quantity)
Change in Quantity = 1800 - 2000 = -200
Change in Price = 50 - 40 = 10
Initial Price = 40
Initial Quantity = 2000
Elasticity of demand would then be:
= (-200/10)(40/2000)
= (-20)(0.02)
= -0.4
Since elasticity of demand is less than 1, it is an inelastic demand.
Answer: A) Federal National Mortgage Association pass-throughs.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a resident of Minnesota is in the 28% federal tax bracket and the 4% state tax bracket. This person must pay both federal and state taxes on Federal National Mortgage Association pass-throughs.
It should be noted that the securities of most government agencies in the United States are typically exempted from paying the local and state taxes but they have to pay federal taxes.
Answer:
The answer is: C) PV of a perpetuity = StartFraction r Over Upper C EndFraction (I guess this means PV = r / C, which is FALSE)
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is:
PV = C / r
Where PV = Present Value, C = cash flow, r = discount rate.
A perpetuity is a stream of equal cash flows that lasts forever (perpetually).
The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is simple, so there is no reason to spend time calculating the present value of each cash flow, since there are infinite cash flows.
A consol bond s a type of perpetuity issued by the British government (also by the US government)
Answer:
We should not lower taxes for the wealthiest Americans because they own and run a lot of companies and businesses that we use. Lower income Americans want their leaders to understand or know what it’s like to be less wealthy so they’ll be more sympathetic towards lower income people and won’t do everything out of the want for more money. If they have to pay lower taxes, then that takes away from their ability to sympathize with lower income homes, and that would upset a lot of people.
Answer:
d) all of the above.
Explanation:
All of the above statement correspond to different definitions of demand that economists use on a daily base.
Statement A) refers to aggregate demand, which is roughly equivalent to GDP.
Statement A.2) refers to demand schedule, which is also simply referred to as demand in the press, or in informal contexts.
Statement B) refers to an equilibrium quantity demanded, which occurs when supply and demand meet under an equilibrium price.
Statement C) refers to quantity demanded because it is not always relevant, when talking about demand, whether the good demanded is a necessity or a luxury.
