Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

Given information:

Q_1=200, Q_2=400

P_1=225, P_2=175

Formula for price elasticity of demand is

E_d=\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{P_2-P_1}\times \frac{P_1+P_2}{Q_1+Q_2}

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

E_d=\frac{400-200}{175-225}\times \frac{225+175}{200+400}

E_d=\frac{200}{-50}\times \frac{400}{600}

E_d=-\frac{8}{3}

E_d\approx -2.67

Absolute value is

|E_d|= |-2.67|=2.67

The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for DVD players is 2.67.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

a) Is Santhosh required to increase his withholding or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty?

  • No he is not required to make any payments or increase his withholdings because this year's withholdings already represent a 133% increase with respect to last year's tax liability. If the withholdings for the current are over 100% last year's tax liability, then the taxpayer doesn't need to make any further adjustments in order to avoid underpayment penalties.

b) By how much, if any, must Santhosh increase his withholding and/or estimated tax payments for the year to avoid underpayment penalties?

ad-work [718]
I would say that for most people, buying an apartment or a house would be the most major thing they could do that would affect their net worth. Initially it would be mostly a liability at first but as it appreciates, especially if it is in a big city where the population keeps growing then it most likely will appreciate and then the owner's assets will increase since their equity will increase.
