Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The manager of a nightclub wants to increase the revenues. The bouncer suggests increasing the price of drinks while the barender suggests decreasing the price.

An increase in the price of drinks will cause the revenues to increase if the demand for drinks is inelastic. The increase in the price will cause a less than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded. In this situation, a price rise will increase revenues as well.

While a decrease in the price of a product will cause the revenues to increase if the demand is elastic. In this situation a decrease in the price will cause a more than proportionate increase in the quantity demanded. As a result, the revenues will increase.

This implies that the biuncer thinks the demand for drinks is inelastic while bartender thinks it is elastic.

frutty [35]

Answer:

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent

Explanation:

To calculate the standard deviation of the investment, we must first calculate the expected or mean return of the investment. The expected or mean return can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  +  pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability of state occurrence
  • rA, rB, ... represents return A, return B and so on  under each state

r = 0.2 * 0.16  +  0.4 * 0.12  +  0.2 * 0.05  +  0.2 * -0.05

r = 0.08 or 8%

The formula to calculate the standard deviation of a stock/investment is as follows,

SD = √pA * (rA - r)²  +  pB * (rB - r)²  +  ...  +  pN * (rN - r)²

SD = √0.2 * (0.16 - 0.08)²  +  0.4 * (0.12 - 0.08)²  +  0.2 * (0.05 - 0.08)²  +  0.2 * (-0.05 - 0.08)²

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent

A​ monopolist's maximized rate of economic profits is ​$2 comma 700 per week. Its weekly output is 900 ​units, and at this outpu
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Average total cost= $46

Marginal revenue= $33

Explanation:

In this instance the monopolist's total cost is the revenue from sale of one unit less the economic profits per unit

Economic profit per unit= 2,700/900

Economic profit per unit= $3

Average total cost= (Price per unit) - (Economic profit per unit)

Average total cost= 49 - 3= $46

For this instance marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost.

Marginal revenue= Marginal cost= $39

Metropolis National Bank is holding 2% of its deposits as excess reserves. Assume that no banks in the economy want to maintain
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Increase in money supply = $200,000

Explanation:

Note: The given question is incomplete, missing part is as follow:

                    Metropolis National Bank

                            Balance sheet

Assets                                              Liabilities

Reserves     $60,000                Deposits          $500,000

<u> Loans           $440,000                                                           </u>

Computation:

Excess reserve hold = 2% × Deposits  

Excess reserve hold = 2% × $500,000

Excess reserve hold = $10,000

Required reserve =  Reserves - Excess reserve hold

Required reserve = $60,000 - $10,000

Required reserve = $50,000

So,

Required reserve ratio = [$50,000 / $500,000]100 = 10%

Multiplier(K) = 1 / Required reserve ratio

Multiplier(K) = 1 / 10%

Multiplier(K) = 10

Total Money = Person deposit +  Excess reserve hold

Total Money = $10,000 + $10,000

Total Money = $20,000

Increase in money supply = Total Money × Multiplier(K)

Increase in money supply = $20,000<u> </u> × 10

Increase in money supply = $200,000

Brums [2.3K]

Interest on Note B = $227,000 * 8% * 6/12

Interest on Note B = $9,080

Remaining Interest = $16,300 - $9,080  = $7,220

Annual Interest Rate = $7,220 / $135,000 * 12/7

Annual Interest Rate =  0.0916825397

Annual Interest Rate = 9.16825397

Annual Interest Rate = 9.17%
