The price elasticity of supply for basmati rice (an aromatic strain of rice) is likely to be which of the following?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: D. Higher in the long run than the short run, because farmers cannot easily change their decisions about how much basmati rice to plant once the current crop has been planted.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Supply refers to how Supply changes in response to a change in price. Essentially, if the price of a good increases, will Supplier supply more or less of that good as a result and by how much will they do so.

In the short run, the farmers would have already planted the crops and so would be unable start changing the quantity that they expect from the harvest. They will therefore supply the amount they harvested regardless of a price change.

In the long run however, they can change the amount of rice planted depending on the price of the rice in the market. Price Elasticity is therefore higher in the long run than in the short run.

The common stock of Zeta Group sells for $42 per share, has a rate of return of 12.2 percent, and a dividend growth rate of 1.8

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The amount of the last annual dividend paid is $4.3.

Explanation:

Given:

The common stock of Zeta Group sells for $42 per share, has a rate of return of 12.2 percent, and a dividend growth rate of 1.8 percent annually.

Now, to find the amount of last annual dividend paid.

Let the amount of last annual dividend paid be $l.$

Price of per share ( $p$ ) = $\$42.$

Rate of return ( $r$ ) = $12.2\%.$

Rate of dividend growth ( $g$ ) = $1.8\%.$

Now, to get the amount of last dividend paid we put formula:

$p=\frac{l(1+g)}{r-g}$

$42=\frac{l(1+1.8\%)}{12.2\%-1.8\%}$

$42=\frac{l(1+0.018)}{0.122-0.018}$

$42=\frac{l\times 1.018}{0.104}$

Multiplying both sides by 0.104 we get:

$4.368=1.018l$

Dividing both sides by 1.018 we get:

$4.3=l$

$l=\$4.3.$

Therefore, the amount of the last annual dividend paid is $4.3.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. who can immediately take over the family business

Explanation:

Option A is wrong because opportunity cost is not related to intelligence.

Option C is not correct because a high school graduate and a college attending student can access to student loans.

The family's wealth can not be a factor in terms of opportunity cost of attending college or a high school graduate. Therefore, option D is incorrect.

Option B is correct as a college attending student cannot take over the family business. So, it is his opportunity cost. On the other hand, a high school graduate can take over the business.
