Answer:
a. $17,978
b. $300,000
Explanation:
Conditions
- The cotton country of lancaster, california has owned his home for ten years
- purchased it for $178,000, cotton bought a $160,000 homeowner's insurance policy
- the replacement cost of the home is now $300,000
a. hence,
the proportion of the house insured = 
%
= 89.89%
Percentage amount covered by the policy
= proportion of the house insured = 89.89%
Amount covered by the policy in dollars
= $20,000 × 89.89%
= $17,978
b
Amount of insurance on the home that cotton should now carry to be fully reimbursed for a fire loss = current value of the home
= $ 300,000
Answer:
13.86%
Explanation:
34% was invested into stock X with an expected return of 11%
22% was invested into stock Y with an expected return of 18%
44% was invested into stock Z with an expected return of 14%
The expected return on the portfolio can be calculated using the formula below
Expected return= Sum of ( weight of stock×return of stock)
= (0.34×11%)+(0.22×18%)+(0.44×14%)
= 3.74+3.96+6.16
= 13.86%
Hence the expected return on the portfolio is 13.86%
Answer:
Explanation:
Solution-
According to Senator Jones, the elasticity of taxable income is larger, which means that due to a certain percentage rise in taxes, the taxable income rises by a greater percentage. Also, according to Senator Smith, the elasticity of taxable income is small, which means that due to a certain percentage rise in taxes, the taxable income rises by a smaller percentage.
(I) Under Senator Jones assumptions, due to rise in taxes, the taxable income has risen considerably as compared to Senator Smith assumptions. Thus the estimates of additional revenue from the tax increase will be larger under Senator Jones assumptions, compared to Smith's assumptions.
(ii) Since under Senator Jones assumptions, elasticity of taxable income is large. So due to rise in taxes, there is a significant proportional rise in taxable income under Jone's assumptions compared to Senator Smith assumptions. Thus the costs of the tax increase is borne more under Senator Jones assumptions , compared to Smith's assumptions.
Answer:
c) 10%; stays the same.
Explanation:
Elasticity of supply measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price.
Supply is perfectly inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity supplied. The quantity supplied remains unchanged despite changes in price.
