Answer:

price elasticity of demand for Bobo's demand curve using the midpoint method = 4.25

Explanation:

the price elasticity of demand (PED) refers to the proportional change in quantity demanded when the price of the good or service changes by 1%.

In order to calculate PED for a portion of the demand curve we must use the midpoint method:

PED = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]} = {(3 - 1) / [(3 + 1) / 2]} / {(15 - 19) / [(15 + 19) / 2]} = (2 / 2) / (4 / 17) = 1 / 0.235 = 4.25

Bobo's PED is elastic since it is larger than 1.

You have saved​ $120,000 for your child to attend college. If it is in an account earning an annual rate of​ 8%, how much can yo
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

I will take $36,230.5 to pay for the education of child.

Explanation:

Cash Invested in the saving account will earn a return of 8% each year and this amount could be withdrawn by the me to pay for the education of child.

We will use following formula to calculate the annual payments

P = r ( PV ) /  [ 1 - ( 1+ r )^-n ]

where

PV = amount of investment = $120,000

r = rate of return = 8%

n = number of period = 4 years

P = 8% ( 120,000 ) / [ 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-4 ]

P = 36,230.5

Aaron purchased footballs from Matthew for $370. Matthew had purchased the footballs from Tom by providing Tom with a bad check.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The principle in Law 'Nemo dat quod non habet' states that an individual connot give what he does not have

Indeed Tom can rescind the contract with Matthew as he possesses voidable title to the balls

Explanation:

Until consideration has moved from Matthew to Tom the validity of the agreement/Contract remains inconclusive.

Considering his Account is not funded means he has no valid title to the Balls, he is merely in possession of the Balls but not the Owner.

Tom can sue demanding a return of the Balls irrespective of Matthew having sold them to Aaron.

Another illustration could be given of a thief who sells off a property. Inspite of the Buyer being unaware, because the thief has a voidable title it makes the transaction invalid.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Number of shares to be issued =  60,000  units

Explanation:

<em>A private placement involves the issue of new shares to a few number of individual and institutional investors. Unlike initial public offering, here the shares are not offered to the general public.</em>

The number of units to be issued is determined as follows

Units to be issued = Total capital to be raised / issue price per share

Number of units to be raised = $1215,000/$20.25 per share= 60,000  units

Number of shares to be issued =  60,000  units
