The Moto Hotel opened for business on May 1, 2017. Here is its trial balance before adjustment on May 31.

A firm has estimated the following demand function for its product:

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

(i) Q=300

(ii) Elasticity of Demand=-3.33 (elastic)

(iii) Income Elasticity= 2.5 (normal good)

(iv) Advertising Elasticity: 1.5

Explanation:

The Demand function is given by

$Q=100-5P+5I+15A$

(1) To solve (i) we need to replace P = 200, I = 150, and A = 30 in the demand equation:

$Q=100-5(200)+5(150)+15(30)=300$

(2) To find the price elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with price) we use the point price elasticity formula

$\eta_{Price}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P}\frac{P}{Q}$

From the above equation we get: $\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P}=-5$

Replacing in the elasticity formula

$\eta_{Price}=-5\frac{200}{300}=|-3.33|>1$

in absolute terms the elasticity is bigger than one so it is an elastic demand.

(3) For income elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with income), we proceed similarly as above. But the derivative is respect to income

$\eta_{Income}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta I}\frac{I}{Q}=5\frac{150}{300}=2.5>1$ [/tex]

Which is bigger than one, denoting this is a normal good because it's bigger than one.

(4) Advertising elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with expenditures in advertising), we proceed as before

$\eta_{advertising}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta A}\frac{A}{Q}=15\frac{30}{300}=1.5$

You rented space for a kiosk at the mall last year for the holiday season for $750. This year they increased it to $825. What is

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Cost of kiosk last year = $750

Cost of kiosk this year = $825

Percentage increase = $825-$750 / $750 * 100

Percentage increase = $75 / $750 * 100

Percentage increase = 10%

So the percentage increase in the cost of rent is 10%.

Suppose the economy starts off producing Natural Real GDP. Next, aggregate supply rises, ceteris paribus. As a result, the price

lord [1]

Answer:

The price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.

Explanation:

In economics, natural gross domestic product (Natural Real GDP) can be described as the maximum level of real GDP that can be sustained by an economy over the long term. The Natural Real GDP is also known as the potential output.

From the question, since the economy has moved back to producing Natural Real GDP which is the maximum real GDP sustainable, the price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.

Therefore, the price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.

price level to Suppose the central bank in the nation of Zook attempts to pay off its national debt by printing large amounts of

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

87.50%

Explanation:

The calculation of value of Zook's currency will decrease in percentage is shown below:-

For computing the Percentage decrease first we need to find out the value of money which is shown below:-

Value of money = 1 ÷ Price level

= 1 ÷ 8.00

= 0.125

Percentage decrease = (Value of money - 1) ÷ 1 × 100%

= (0.125 - 1) ÷ 1 × 100%

= -0.875 ÷ 1 × 100%

= 87.50%
