Answer:

8.08

Explanation:

Hi!

The income elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the negative % change in demand by the % change in real income.

We calculate the negative % change in demand as:

19/20 = 0.95, a 95%

Then, the % change in real income as:

(34,000-30,000)/34,000 = 0.1176, an 11.76%

So the income elasticity of demand is:

0.95/0.1176 = 8.08

Hope it helps! :)

Mrac [35]

Sharon and two kids makes 3 people total with both kids being under 18, the poverty level from the table is $20,231

She gets $1000 a month for her kids. 1000 x 12 months = $12,000 per year

12,000 + her annual salary = 12,000 + 16,000 = $28,000 per year.

28,000 is greater than 20,231 so she is not living in poverty.

The answer is no

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

14.58%

Explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) + weight of preferred equity x dividend yield

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

r= 3% + 1.1 x 8 = 11.8

equity = 0.4 x 11.8% = 4.72

d = 0.4 x 5 x (1 -0.21) = 1.58

p = 0.2 x 6 =  1.2

11.8 + 1.58 + 1.2 =

Answer: Based on this experiment, in the lake lives 20,400 fishes.
