Answer:

Increase by 5%.

Explanation:

Given that,

cross-price elasticity of demand between goods X and Y = 4

Percentage increase in consumption of good X = 20 %

cross-price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded for good X ÷ Percentage change in price of good Y

4 = 20 ÷ Percentage change in price of good Y

Percentage change in price of good Y = 20 ÷ 4

                                                                = 5%

Therefore, the price of good Y must be increase by 5% in order to increase the consumption of good X by 20 percent.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The correct option is yes,the $15,000 will double each 7.5 years.In 15 years ,it will double twice.

Explanation:

The 72 rule stipulates that the number of years it would take an investment to achieve accumulate a certain amount- future value, can be computed by dividing 72 by the interest rate earns by the investment

N, the number of years=72/9.6

                                      =7.5 years

Invariably,in 7.5 years' when Sally would have been 10.5 years(3 years now+7.5 years) the investment would have doubled.

By another 7.5 years when Sally would have been 18 years(10.5 years +7.5 years), the investment would have doubled twice.

The 72 rule is fast-track approach to calculating the duration of an investment.
