Answer:Price elasticity of demand = -0.05

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method= \frac{(Q2- Q1)/(Q2+Q1)/2}{(P2- P1)/(P2+P1)/2}

where  Q =Quantity demanded

P = Price

Price elasticity of demand =  (\frac{(210-190/210+190)/2}{0.90-1.10/ 0.90+1.10)/2}

 =     \frac{20/400)/2 }{ -0.2/2)/2}

0.025/ -0.05 = -0.05

Price elasticity of demand = -0.05

The Price elasticity of demand tells us how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price. Here the Demand for a good is  inelastic because  the PED coefficient is less than one -0.05

Answer:

Elasticity = 0.5

Explanation:

Elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. One of the methods used to calculate it is the midpoint method.

Midpoint method uses average values to calculate the elasticity of demand of a good.

Elasticity = {(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)/2} ÷ {(P2 - P1) ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}

Elasticity = {(210 - 190) ÷ (210 + 190)/2} ÷ {(0.9 - 1.10) ÷ (0.9 + 1.10)/2}

Elasticity = 0.1 ÷ 0.2

Elasticity = 0.5

Pick an ad that speaks out against drug abuse. Write about the possible primary and secondary effects of this ad on the youth in
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign launched the “Above the Influence” (ATI) ad campaign in 2005. The campaign aims to provide young people with a different perspective on life. The campaign’s primary initiative is to reduce drug abuse among teenagers, not just by telling them about the harmful effects of drugs, but by helping them to counter bad influences (such as peer pressure) and believe in themselves. This campaign used print media, the Internet, television, and radio to communicate its message to teenagers.

The primary effects of this ad campaign on the youth in my locality were in terms of the immediate awareness that the ad’s message created. The campaign focused on improving lifestyles rather than just highlighting the bad effects of drugs, so it was able to connect with its target audience. Another key reason for the campaign’s success was the use of multiple media formats to communicate with the target audience.

An important secondary effect of this ad campaign was that it succeeded in spreading awareness about how peer pressure leads people into drug abuse. The campaign’s partnership with schools and other community groups helped to increase its effect on students in their early teens. Another secondary effect of the campaign was a decrease in the long-term use of marijuana and other illicit drugs among teenagers. The campaign managed to foster a feeling of independence and self-assurance among teens over the years.

The message of this ad campaign is still fresh in my mind. I’m sure it had a lasting effect on many others who heard it because it succeeded in building public awareness about the problem of drug abuse and in promoting a positive lifestyle.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

$12.50

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Annual dividend next year = $0.75

Growth rate = 4%

Required rate of return = 10%

So by considering the above information, the price of the share is

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

= $0.75 ÷ (10% - 4%)

= ($0.75) ÷ (6%)

= $12.50

Hence we considered all the information which is given in the question
