Answer:

d. 0; unrelated.

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand for a particular product to a change in the price of another product.

A change in price of a product will lead to a change in demand for another product if the two goods are either goods of close substitutes or if they are complements. If two goods are not related, the change in price of one will not have any impact on the demand for the other good.

In this question, the cross elasticity is zero because biro and pencil are not related.

natima [27]

Answer:

Given these facts, which state would you expect the price of prostitution services to be higher? Why?

  • Since the risks associated to prostitution are higher in New Jersey, we could assume that the price for these services will be higher there. The supply curve of prostitution shift to the left, increasing the price and decreasing the quantity.

Which state would have the higher amount of services consumed (adjusted for population differences)? Why? What are the underlying economic issues of this market?

  • Since the price is higher in New Jersey, the quantity demanded will be lower. Also, the risks associated to consuming the service will shift the demand curve to the left, reducing the quantity.

d) $300,000.

Explanation:

Paticulars Amount

Manufacturing costs + Beginning WIP = Ending WIP + Cost of Goods manufactured  

Let ending WIP be x  

Beginning WIP be 0.75x  

2,500,000 + 0.75x = x + 2,425,000  

2,500,000 - 2,425,000 = x - 0.75x  

75,000 = 0.25x  

x = 300,000

Therefore, The Work in Process inventory at December 31 was $300,000.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$106,595

Explanation:

Given:

Initial market rate = 9%

Dropped market interest rate, r = 7% per year

or

= 7% × [6 ÷ 12]

= 3.5% = 0.035

Remaining time, n = 9 years = 18 semi annual periods

Now,

Value of the bond at the retirement

= [ PVAF × Interest payment] + [ PVF × face value]

here,

Present value of annuity factor, PVAF = \frac{1 -(1+r) ^{-n}}{r}

or

PVAF = \frac{1 -(1+0.035) ^{-18}}{0.035}

or

PVAF = 13.189

And,

Interest payment = $100,000 × 8% × [6 ÷ 12 ]              [since, 8% bonds]

= $4000

Present value factor = \frac{1}{1.035^{18}}

= 0.538

par value = $100,000

= [13.189 × $40] + [0.538 × 100,000]

= 52,758.7316 + 53,836.114

= $106,595

Hence,

The correct answer is option $106,595
