Answer:

d. Fall to $1.47

Explanation:

currently you will need $1,500 to purchase £1,000 and invest in British bonds. After 65 months you will have £1,040, which you should be able to convert into $1,544.40. If you invested in US bonds, you would have $1,530, so this arbitrage will yield $14.40.

But if instead the British pound fell to $1.47, then your profit would only be $28.80, less than if you invested in US bonds. You again would have £1,040 in 6 months, but that would only be equal to $1,528.80.

Assume that demand for bottled water is relatively price elastic. An increase in supply of bottled water will result in which of
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

3 then 1

Explanation:

Supply is said to be increased when the quantity supplied expands but the price and quantity demanded remains unchanged. As quantity supplied has increased whereas the quantity demanded is what it was before this change, there is first a surplus of bottled water in the market. This surplus will have a downward pressure on price, reducing the quantity supplied a bit and, as the law of demand suggests ,the quantity demanded will increase. Given that the demand is relatively price elastic, the change in quantity demanded will be greater than the change in price. Therefore the revenue will increase.
