Answer:Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Cross Price Elasticity of Demand is a very useful tool in Economics to ascertain if goods are compliments or Substitutes.
Cross Price Elasticity of Demand (CPSD) measures the change in demand in one good due to a change in price is the other good.
If the CPSD is negative then the goods are Compliments meaning that they are used together which is why when the price of one good goes down, the demand of the compliment goes up because more of the original good will be bought due to the lower price.
If the CPSD is Positive, it means that they are Substitutes and a Decrease in price in one good leads to a decrease in demand for the other good because people will demand less of it and switch to the former (now cheaper) good.
The formula is,
= % change in Quantity Demanded of Product A /% change in Price of Product B
a. Splishy splashies and Flopsicles
CPSD = -18%/-1%
= 18%
The CPSD for both these products is 18% which is a positive figure. This means that they are Substitutes and <u>should not be marketed together. </u>
b. Splishy Splashies and Flopsicles
CPSD = 3%/-1%
= -3%
With the CPSD being a negative figure here, these goods are Compliments.
Splishy Splashies and Flopsicles <u>should be Marketed together</u> as they compliment each other.
Answer:
Both an initial cash outflow and future cash inflow
Explanation:
Net value cash flow is the different cash flows that happens at different times. It takes into account the initial cash outflow or capital investment and the amount that it would be getting in the future that is the future cash inflow.
The net present value gives us a difference between cash inflows and cash outflows in their present values over a period of time.
Answer:
$118,000
Explanation:
We know the purchase price of land = $100,000
Also any kind of brokerage or commission is added to such cost as it is part of acquisition and one time expense, thus capital in nature.
Thus, $8,000 paid as brokerage will be added.
Also the one time expense in the capital nature being the demolishing expense will be added to cost.
Thus, net cost of land = $100,000 + $8,000 + $10,000 = $118,000
Some of the salvage sold results in an income for the company, and that shall form part of income statement, and has nothing to do with cost of land.
Thus, net historical cost = $118,000
Answer:
<em>D. To allow consumers and producers to make their
</em>
<em>own decisions</em>
Explanation:
A <em>free-market system</em> is the market form determined by free market forces of demand and supply.
No government intervention takes place in this form of market as in a centrally planned economic system. This non- intervention of the government prevents <em>economic distortions</em> in the system, which is good for the market.
In a <em>free market system</em> the forces of demand and supply, decide the price of the goods and thereby the output adjustments. The consumers are free to decide the demand and producers are free to decide the product the supply of goods.
Hence, it can be said that <em>the purpose of a free-market system is to allow consumers and producers to make their own decisions.</em>
The reason everybody doesn't have what they want is that, i<span>f everybody could </span>have everything<span> they </span>want<span>, whenever they </span>want<span> it, then </span>we<span> wouldn't need economics. Or maybe politics or warfare, either. </span>We<span> could all just sit around playing on top of our endless mountain of toys. But the real world doesn't work quite like that. </span>We can't have<span> it all. </span>We have<span> to make choices. Hope I helped!</span>
