The firm initiates a price decrease, their projection on the competitors' reaction is they will also decrease their price to level with them. Starting a price decrease will affect the whole market of like products. Also, another angle that they considered is they will be reprimanded by their regulatory board.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Loss on exchange is -$7,800

initial value of tractor is $42,200

Gain on exchange is $8000

Initial value of tractor is $58,000

Initial value of the new tractor=fair value of the old tractor+cash payment

Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$10,200=$42,200

If fair value were $26,000

gain on the exchage=$26,000-$18,000=$8,000

Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$26,000=$58,000

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Inelastic

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand is the a measure which is used to show the responsiveness of the quantity to its price.

Price Elasticity of demand = Change in quantity / Change in price

% Change in quantity = ( 45,000 - 35,000 ) / 45,000 = 22.22%

% Change in price = ( 20 - 30 ) / 20 = -50%

Price Elasticity of demand = Change in quantity / Change in price

Price Elasticity of demand = 22.22% / -50% = -0.4444

As the answer is less than 1 so, demand is Inelastic.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The higher an investment’s risk, the HIGHER THE RETURNS AN INVESTOR WILL REQUIRE.

Explanation:

By saying that investors are risk averse, it means that given a similar level of returns, an investor will choose the investment with the lowest risk. That is why investors generally prefer and are willing to pay more for less risky investments, which results in lower returns (higher price ⇒ lower returns).

So high risk investments will always have a lower price than low risk investments, since the returns demanded by investors are proportional to the risk of the investment.
