Answer:

37.5%

Explanation:

The percentage change in the price of a jar of peanut butter, using the midpoint method, is:

P_B = \frac{3-2}{\frac{3+2}{2}}*100=40\%

The percentage change in sales of jelly is 15%.

The cross elasticity of demand between peanut butter and jelly is:

E = \frac{15\%}{40\%}*100\%\\E=37.5\%

The cross elasticity of demand is 37.5%

diamong [38]

Answer:

hope this helps

Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 21.5% and a beta of 1.70. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Old portfolio return

11.0%

Old portfolio beta

1.20

New stock return

21.5%

New stock beta

1.70

% of portfolio in new stock = $ in New / ($ in old + $ in new) = $10,000/$100,000=

10%

New expected portfolio return = rp = 0.1 × 21.5% + 0.9 × 11% =

12.05%​

New expected portfolio beta = bp = 0.1 × 1.70 + 0.9 × 1.20 =

1.25​

HACTEHA [7]

The statement " It eliminates the inflows of cash earned following the payback period and time value of money" is the disadvantage of the payback method

The payback period is the period thats tells the time period in which the initial investment that was made should be recovered.

It is to be measured in years normally.

For finding the disadvantage, we need to find out the following information related payback period

  1. It is easy to calculate
  2. The cash flows earned after the payback period should not be used
  3. There is no requirement to determine the present value factor for measuring the payback period.
  4. Also, it does not use for distinct cheap projects from lower ones

So this is the reason this method ignored the times value of money

Therefore, we can conclude that, the correct option is b.
