This is not a good idea as stocks are volatile.

Explanation:

One must never invest a lot of money in only one stock as the stocks are wont to change over time and gain or lose value.

If one wants a long term investment with at least some amount of safety they must be investing in stocks that grow consistently and then to break up the capital in small chunks and then invest them.

All of these can be invested in different shares in the market and then the shares would be more safe.

Even if one or two shares fall the others will be safe.

Answer:

Hotel charge in city 1= $5,250

Hotel charge in city 2= $4,750

Explanation:

A theater group made an appearance in two cities.

Let x represent the amount charged in the first city

Let y represent the amount charged in the second city

The hotel charge before tax in the first city is $500 lower than the second city

y= x-500......equation 1

The tax in the first city is 8%

= 8/100

= 0.08

The tax in the second city is 8.5%

= 8.5/100

= 0.085

0.08x + 0.085y= 823.75.........equation 2

Substitute (x-500) for y in equation 2

0.08x + 0.085(x-500)= 823.75

0.08x + 0.085x - 42.5= 823.75

Collect the like terms

0.08x + 0.085x= 823.75+42.5

0.165x= 866.25

x= 866.25/0.165

x = 5,250

Substitute 5250 for x in equation 1

y= x-500

y= 5,250-500

y= 4,750

Hence the hotel charge in city 1 is $5,250 and the hotel charge in city 2 is $4,750

Which scenario below is an example of complementary products, based on their cross-price elasticity?A. Bananas and lettuce, with

ipn [44]

Answer: B. Shampoo and conditioner, with an elasticity of -3.5.

Explanation:

Complimentary products are those which see their quantity demanded move together because the goods usually compliment each other like tea and sugar.

Their Cross-price elasticity shows this by being a negative figure. This is because when the price of one commodity goes up, the quantity demanded of the other goes down because higher prices lead to lower quantity demanded.

The actual question showed that Conditioner and Shampoo had a cross-price elasticity of -3.5 so this is the correct answer.

In order to compare the real estate markets in pittsburgh and philadelphia, what are the things that you should consider?

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

When comparing the real estate market of any region or state, there are factors for consideration:

a) Population size

b) Employment status

c) Real estate market

d) Renting strength

e) Price

f) Quality in terms of home structure and a serene environment.

Explanation:

In the question, there are two American cities up for comparison: The city of Pittsburgh and the Philadelphia city, both in the Pennsylvania region. Both cities have comfortable environments which are habitable but here, we have to choose or rather compare both. The first factor is the population size. The two cities which are in the same region, have a considerable population size but when compared, Philadelphia has the upper hand. In real estate business, population is key as a region which a better and fuller population is appreciated more. The second factor is the employment status of the inhabitants. The employment status of these two cities are commendable but Pittsburgh is quite flabbergasting. The employment rate of Pittsburgh to Philadelphia is up to 57%. Employment status is a key determinant when real estate market is mentioned because employed persons are the ones who can actually pay when due. The third factor is the real estate market. This is another factor which is very important in determining the cities' real estate market. Over the years, Philadelphia has shown positive signs of a healthy real estate market which nicks that of Pittsburgh. Other factors listed above have clearly been favourable to Philadelphia because of their location but in terms of price, Pittsburgh appears cheaper with an average price of $1258 compared to Philadelphia's $1,652.
