Answer:
Substitution
Explanation:
Principle of subsitution states that no consumer should buy a product for a high price of he can get an alternative (duplicate) that is of a cheaper price.
Substitutes are alternatives that provide similar satisfaction to the customer.
When the price of one product goes up the customer has a choice of going for an alternative.
For example honey and sugar are substitutes. When the price of one goes down people will go for the cheaper alternative. This acts as a price control mechanism.
Answer:
PED= 0.1571
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand (PED) indicates how the quantity demanded change when the price changes. Is defined by this equation:
Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change in Q/ Percentage change in P
In this case, the problem is giving percentage changes in Q but we must calculate the percentage change in price:
%Change in price = ( p2-p1/p1)*100= ($4.09-$2.96)/$2.96= 0.3817*100=38.17%
%Change in quantity is= -6%
PED= -6%/38.17%
In absolute value:
PED= 0.1571
If the PED is less than 1 then gasoline is considered as inelastic.
I just answered this to get a point sorry ☺
Answer:
YTM = 6.42%
Explanation:
current market value = $1,000 x 98% = $980
n = (15 - 2) x 2 = 26
coupon = $1,000 x 6.2% x 1/2 = $31
face value = $1,000
YTM = [coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = [31 + [(1,000 - 980)/26]} / [(1,000 + 980)/2]
YTM = (31 + 0.77) / 990 = 31.77 / 990 = 0.03209 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.641818 = 6.42%
