Answer: b. Set higher prices to the students as their demand is relatively more inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the change in quantity demanded to changes in price levels.

If demand is inelastic, a small change in price has a small effect on quantity demanded. An inelastic demand usually has a coefficient of less than 1.

The elasticity of demand for students and senior citizens are both inelastic but that of the students is greater than that of senior citizens. They are less responsive to price changes when compared with senior citizens.

Tasya [4]

Answer: 9.04%

Explanation:

1 year rate today = 5% = 0.05

2 years rate today = 7% = 0.07

Maturity of longer bond = 2

The ending return if the 2 years bond are bought will be thesame as the needed return on series of a year bond which will be 1.1449

The market's forecast for 1-year rates 1 year from now will be calculated as:

= 1.05(1+X) = 1.1449

1.05 + 1.05X = 1.1449

1.05X = 1.1449 - 1.05

1.05X = 0.0949

X = 0.0949/1.05

X = 0.090381

X = 9.04%

The market demand function for corn is Qd = 5 15 - 2P and the market supply function is Qs= 5P- 6, both quantities measured in b
GaryK [48]

Answer:

The Producer surplus = 19.6.

consumer surplus = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = 31.85.

Explanation:

Normally, the demand equilibrium function equals to supply equilibrium function will get us the price which is $3 that is Qd = Qs. Hence, if we equate both function together like;

15 - 2P = 5P - 6.

15 +6 = 5P + 2P.

21 = 7P.

P = $3.

Thus, Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(3) = 15 - 6 = 9 units.

Qs = 5P - 6 = 5(3) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9.

Therefore, if the price is going to be Increased by $4, we will have that;

Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(4) = 15 - 8 = 7 units.

=> The Producer surplus = 1/2 × 14 (4 - 1.2) = 19.6.

=> consumer surplus = 1/2 × 7 (7.5 - 4) = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = Producer surplus + consumer surplus = 19.6 + 12.25 = 31.85.
