Answer:
The return for the year is -15.57%.
Explanation:
We have the formula to calculate Return for the year as:
* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital Gain/(Loss).
in which:
* Dividend yield is given at 1.5%;
* Capital Gain/(Loss) = Price at year end/ Price at the beginning of the year - 1 = 68/82 -1 = - 17.07%;
So we have:
* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital (Loss) = 1.5% - 17.07% = -15.57%.
Thus, the answer is -15.57%.

Answer:
c. 0.25
Explanation:
Cross-price elasticity = [(Q2-Q1/)((Q1-Q2)/2) * 100] / [(P2-P1/)((P1-P2)/2) * 100]
Cross-price elasticity = [(65-55)/((65+55)/2)*100] / [(2-1)/((1+2)/2)*100]
Cross-price elasticity = 16.6667/66.6667
Cross-price elasticity = 0.25000037
Cross-price elasticity = 0.25
