Answer: unitary price elastic

Explanation:

A good is unitary price elastic if a change in price leads to the same proportional change in quantity demanded.

The coefficient of a good with unitary elasticity is 1 .

Coefficient of elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

= 5% / 5% = 1

You can buy a car that is advertised for $24,600 on the following terms: (a) pay $24,600 and receive a $4,600 rebate from the ma

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = Price of the car – rebate

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Pooled data occur when there is a time series of different cross sections with each observations not necessarily from the same unit while Panel data is sample from the same units. The main difference between them is the "units". The units can be countries, households, schools or other things we are collating data on.

In pooled cross section, random samples from different time periods and from different units are taken e.g. we can take data on number of females and males in schools A, B and C in 2020 and schools X, Y and Z in 2023.

In pure panel data, we are using the same units e.g we can take data on genders in schools A, B and C in 2020 and collect data from the same schools in 2023. Therefore the main difference is just the units we observe.

The weight of a product is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.5 grams. If the production manager wants no more

Savatey [412]

Answer:

4.28 grams

Explanation:

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by the formula:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ \mu=mean,\sigma=standard \ deviation,\ x=raw\ score$

Given that:

P(x > 5.1 grams) = 5%, x = 5.1 grams, σ = 0.5 grams

P(x > 5.1 grams) = 5%

P(x < 5.1 grams) = 100% - 5% = 95%

P(x < 5.1) = 95%

From the normal distribution table, 95% corresponds with a z score of 1.645. Hence:

$1.64=\frac{5.1-\mu}{0.5}\\\\5.1-\mu=0.82\\\\\mu=4.28\ grams$
