Answer:

-0.33

Explanation:

The calculation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 80 units - 100 units

= -20 units

And, the average of quantity demanded would be

= (80 units + 100 units) ÷ 2

= 90 units

Change in price is

= P2 - P1

= $2 - $1

= 1

And, the average of the price is

= ($2 + $1) ÷ 2

= 1.5

So, after solving this, the price elasticity of demand is -0.33

Sales revenue
Ne4ueva [31]

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) 0.0618

Explanation:

Variance is given by:

V = \frac{\sum(Xi - \mu)^2}{n}

Where 'Xi' is the value for each term 'i' in the sample of size 'n' and μ is the sample mean.

The mean investment return is:

\mu = \frac{0.28+0.21+0.01-0.36}{4} \\\mu = 0.035

The variance is:

V = \frac{\sum(Xi - \mu)^2}{n}\\V = \frac{(0.28- 0.035)^2+(0.21- 0.035)^2+(0.01- 0.035)^2+(-0.36- 0.035)^2}{4}\\V= 0.0618

The variance of the returns on this investment is A) 0.0618.
