Price elasticity of demand is defined by Change in Quantity demanded / Change in Price. 

Tom ordered 10 gallons of gas without asking about the price. This means that no matter the price, Tom orders the same quantity of gas (quantity demanded does not change with price). His demand is perfectly inelastic, or 0. 

Jerry orders $10 worth of gas. This means that no matter how much it gives him, Jerry will pay $10. The price elasticity of demand depends on how much the price changes by.
For example, if price doubles from $5/gal to $10/gal, demand falls by 50% (2 gallons to 1 gallon), making his price elasticity -0.5
If the price increase 10% from $10/gal to $10.10/gal, demand falls 1% from 1 gal to .99 gallons, making his price elasticity -0.1

Compare investment alternatives You have two investment opportunities. One will have an 8% rate of return on an investment of $1
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

15%

Explanation:

The maximum rate of return that would be paid to borrow an additional $4,000 needed can be calculated as

Rate of return =\frac{Amount of interest}{Amount borrowed}

Rate of return = $600/$4000

Rate of return = 0.15 or 15%

NOTE: The amount of interest is the difference of interest earned at higher yield and interest earned at a lower yield.

Interest earned (higher yield) = $10,000 x 8%

Interest earned (higher yield) = $800

Interest earned (lower yield) = $14,000 x 10%

Interest earned (lower yield) = $1,400

Difference = $1,400-$800

Difference = $600
