Answer:

C. 2.2.

Explanation:

Mid point elasticity is calculated as follows:

<em>% change in qty supplied/ % change in price</em>

<em />

<em>% change in qty supplied</em>

= (600-400)/(600+400)/2

= 0.4

<em> % change in price </em>

= (12 -10)/(12+10)/2

= 0.181

Mid point elasticity

= 0.4/0.18

=2.2

Answer: C. 2.20

Explanation:

Given the folliwing

At price(P1) = $10 per unit,

Quantity produced(Q1) = 400 units

When price(P2) = $12,

Quantity produced(Q2) = 600 units

The price elasticity of supply is used to determine how quantity supplied is affected by changes in the price of a commodity.

The midpoint method of determining price elasticity of supply :

(Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ percentage change in price)

[(Q2-Q1) ÷((Q2+Q1)/2) ÷ (P2-P1)÷((P2+P1)/2)]

Percentage Change in quantity supplied = [(600-400)/(600+400)/2)] =200/500 = 0.4

Percentage change in price = [(12-10)/(12+10)/2]

= 2/11 = 0.1818

Therefore, price elasticity of supply = (0.4 ÷ 0.1818) = 2.20

Lena invested her savings in two investment funds. The $6000 that she invested in Fund A returned a 6% profit. The amount that s
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The amount that Lena will invest in fund B would be $4000.

Explanation:

Given information -

Amount invested in fund A - $6000

Return earned on fund A - 6%

Let us assume amount invested in fund B be x

Return earned on fund B - 1%

Return on both funds together - 4%

Let us assume the total amount of fund invested be ($6000 + x)

Now using simple equation , we will take out the value of x which is the amount invested in fund B -

$6000 X 6% + x X 1% = 4% ( $6000 + x )

= $360 + .01 x = $240 + .04 x

= $360 - $240 = .04 x - .01 x

$120 = .03 x

x = $120 / .03

= $4000.
