Answer: The correct answer is "a) Income increases.".

Explanation:

a) Income increases - An increase in income would cause more money to spend on food and clothing, so the budget line would be steeper.

b) Price of food increases , and c) Price of clothing increases. -An increase in both the price of food and clothing would cause (as long as Income remains the same) that less quantities of both goods can be acquired, because they would cost more, therefore they would make the budget line Minor.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.

Angelo invested $4,000 into two accounts. One account paid 4% interest and the other paid 9% interest. He earns 6% interest on t
inn [45]

Answer:

$2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%

Explanation:

In this case, we have two unknowns, so in order to be solved, we need to find two equations.

We know that amount 1, that we call x, plus amount 2, we call y, is 4000.  

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

Also we know, when we add the interest earned on amount 1 to the interest earned on amount 2, the total interest is 6% of 4000, it means: 240

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

So, we have two equations with two unknowns

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

That we can solve for any method we know. We will use substitution.  Lets clear from first equation the unknown x.

x=4000-y

Then, we substitute in second equation

0.04(4000-y)+0.09y=240

And we solve:

160-0.04y+0.09y=240

0.05y=240-160

y=80/0.05=1600

Now we simply plug this into our first equation and solve for x

x+y=4000

x+1600=4000

x=4000-1600

x=2400

So, $2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%
