Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

Percentage\ increase\ in\ price=\frac{6-4}{4}\times100

                                                          = 50%

Percentage\ Decrease\ in\ quantity\ demanded=\frac{800-700}{800}\times100

                                                          = 12.5%

Therefore,

price\ elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percentage\ change\ in\ price}

price\ elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{12.5}{50}

                                                     = 0.25

Hence, the price elasticity of demand over this price range is equal to 0.25

However,the second copyright that was bought from University Press can be treated as asset but cannot be amortized since it has indefinite life,but would be tested for impairment on a yearly basis,with impairment losses charged to profit or loss account.

= $1 × 1.08

= $1.08

Hence, the future value is $1.08

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

13.73%

M = number of compounding = 365

(1 + \frac{0.1287}{365} )^{365} - 1

(1.000353)^{365} - 1 = 0.1373 = 13.73%
