Answer:
$1 or 100% of the tax
Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.
The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.
In this problem we are given the mean of $1100, SD of $150 and x equal to $900. In this case, we need to use the z-score table to answer the problem:
z = (x-mean)/sd
z = (900-1100)/150
z = -1.33
from z-table, the probability at the left of z= -1.33 is equal to 9.18%
Answer:
B. negative, positive
Explanation:
Substitution effect : Price rise of a good makes it relatively expensive, decreases its demand. Price fall of a good makes it relatively cheap, increases its demand.
So: Substitution Effect is always negative as per above explanation.
Income Effect : Price rise of a good decreases real income/ real purchasing power of consumer & reduces demand of all goods. Price fall increases real purchasing power & increases demand of all goods.
Income effect is positive in case of Normal Goods, normal good demand is positively related to income. The effect is negative in case of inferior goods, inferior good demand is negatively related to income.
Hence: Price rise of rice - Substitution effect results in negative change in rice consumption. {∵substitution effect always negative}
Income Effect leads to positive change in rice consumption {∵price rise reduces real income & income effect is negative for inferior goods}
Answer:
Jackie owns the property until Maria dies
Explanation:
In this specific scenario, Jackie owns the property until Maria dies. That is because, in common law and statutory law, a life estate also known as life tenancy is defined as the ownership of land for the duration of a person's life. Therefore since Mike granted life estate to Maria and not Jackie, the land is legally Maria's to do as she wishes up until the moment of her death. Once this comes to pass the land ownership is returned to Mike.
