Your boss would like your help on a marketing research project she is conducting on the relationship between the price of juice
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: The law of demand

Explanation:

The tabular representation (demand schedule is down below)

Price of Juice (Dollars per can)     Quantity Demanded(Billions of can)

2000                                                   0.5

1500                                                   0.75

1000                                                     1

750                                                      1.25

From the table above and the graphical representation attached, <u>the law of demand</u> is confirmed. The law of demand states that the price of a good and the quantity demanded are inversely proportional.

Notice that when the price of the juice increases, the demand decreases and when the price decreases, the demanded increases. This shows that majority of consumers will be more willing to make purchases when there is a decrease in price.

Check the attachment for the graphical representation.

At an inflation rate of 7 percent, the purchasing power of $3 would be cut in half in 10.25 years. how long to the nearest year
lyudmila [28]
The applicable formula is;
A = P(1-r)^n

Where;
A = Final purchasing power
P = Current purchasing power
r = inflation
n = Number of years when P changes to A

Confirming the first claim:
A = 1/2P (to be confirmed)
P = $3
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10.25 years

Using the formula;
A = 3(1-0.07)^10.25 = 3(0.475) ≈ 3(0.5) = $1.5
And therefore, A = 1/2P after 10.25 years.

Now, give;
P = $9
A = 1/4P = $9/4 = $2.25
r = 6.5% = 0.065
n = ? (nearest year).

Substituting;
2.25 = 9(1-0.065)^n
2.25/9 = (1-0.065)^n
0.25 = (1-0.065)^n
ln (0.25)= n ln(1-0.065)
-1.3863 = -0.0672n
n = (-1.3863)/(-0.0672) = 20.63 years

To nearest year;
n = 21 years

Therefore, it would take approximately 21 years fro purchasing power to reduce by 4. That is, from $9 to $2.25.
