Answer:

C) 0.5; The product is inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price.

Elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

Elasticity of supply = 2% / 4% = 0.5

When the coefficient of elasticity of supply is less than one, supply is inelastic.

Inelastic supply means that a change in price would have little or no effect on the quantity supplied.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: Elaine should take Dealership's financing option.

Explanation:

Option A

Car Sale Price = $46 585

Down Payment = $15000

Interest rate = 0%

Period = 66 months

Value of Dealer Financing = $46585 - $15000 = <u>$31585</u>

Option 2.

Elaine takes the loan to pay for the car

R = 3.24%

Car price = Loan Amount = $46585

Period (n) = 72 months

Value of Option 2 Loan Financing = Loan Amount (1 + r)^n

Value of Option 2 Loan Financing = $46585(1 + 0.0324^/12)^72

Value of Option 2 Loan Financing =  $46585(1 + 0.0027)^72

Value of Option 2 Loan Financing = 56566.482756

Value of Option 2 Loan Financing = $56566.48

Elaine receives a Cash rebate of $10 000

Overall Value of option 2 = $56566.48 - $10 000 = <u>$46566.48</u>

Let us assume Elaine Pays the Down Payment of $15000 AND take A Loan to finance the rest of the Car amount

Car sale price = $46585 - $15000 = $31585

Loan Amount = $31585

Option 2 Loan Financing with down Payment

Option 2 Loan Financing = $31585(1 + 0.0324^/12)^72 + $15000

Option 2 Loan Financing = $31585(1+0.0027)^72 + $15000

Option 2 Loan Financing = 38352.524586 + $15000

Option 2 Loan Financing = $53352.524586

Elaine Receives a Cash Rebate of $10 000

Value of Option 2 with down payment = $53352.524586 - 10 000

Value of Option 2 with down payment = $43352.524586

Value of Option 2 with down payment =<u> $43352.53</u>

When Elaine pays a down payment and takes a loan of $31585, the overall finance is valued at $43352.53, When Elaine takes a loan for the entire car amount the Value of option 2 finance is $46566.48.

Dealership Option Financing Value is $31585. Elaine should take Dealership's financing option

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Behan will recover his amount.

Explanation:

The contract has not been formed as the contract is only enforceable if the contract is legally allowed which means that the selling of fireworks in this case scenario is not allowed and hence Behan and Fourth of July Company are both equally responsible for not committing to such type of agreements. So the company must payback the money as the contract is not enforceable in the jurisdiction.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The answers are,

1) Perfectly Identical

2) many

3)takers

4)false

Explanation:

Lettuce is a commodity that can't be differentiated much based on the product. It can be however, differentiated from branding, packaging, etc.

But since the Lettuce is a broad category, we can assume that it is a competitive market.

Perfectly competitive markets do not really exist in the real world and are more of a hypothetical scenario. However, knowing the concept allows businesses and governments to make sound economic decisions regarding production and consumption.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

No, Kamal's father, Mr.Kishanlal is not justified in his point of view because although it is true that money is needed to start a new business but money is not that much necessary as many other things. To start a new business and make it a success, passion, new idea and determination is much needed. If you are passionate to start something new and provide people value then it will be very easy to become successful. You should have a new idea to start a business. You should provide people with ease with the help of your new idea and new product or service. People will definitely but your products and services if it is something of value. You should have an urge to be determinant. There are many entrepreneurs, who have not much money when they started a business, but with their passion and handwork they became successful i,e, Jeff Bozos, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs etc.
