Answer:
b.The good is a necessity
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price
3% / 12% = 0.25
When the coefficient of elasticity is less than one, demand is inelastic.
Inelastic demand means that when price increases, there is little or no change in quantity demanded.
Necessity goods are goods that are very important to consumers and thus they tend to have an inelastic demand. For example, medications.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good because of their similarity. E.g. butter and margarine
Goods with many substitutes have an elastic demand. If price of a good increases, consumers can easily shift consumption to substitute goods.
Narrowly defined goods have an elastic demand because it is easier to find subsituites for such goods.
Demand is more elastic in the long run because consumers have more time to search for substitutes.

Answer:
The arbitrage profits to the grocer.
Explanation:
Arbitrage refers to the process of simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset to earn profits. The traders exploit the price difference in different markets through arbitrage.
Here, in the given example, the purchase of oranges from the orchard and then its resale to the consumers is an example of arbitrage. The orchard and consumers are in two different markets.
The profit earns through this purchase and sale of oranges will be considered arbitrage profit.
Answer: $58600
Explanation:
The net income that would have been if the allowance method had been used, and the company estimated that 2.5% of sales would be uncollectible will be calculated thus:
= Reported net income + Uncollectible - (Sales × % Uncollectible)
= $63800 + $9300 - ($580000 × 2.5%)
= $63800 + $9300 - $14500
= $58600
Answer:
the lowest operating cost is achieved when mine 1 is operated for 0 hours and mine 2 is operated for 2 hours.
Explanation:
Mining hours of mine 1: M1
mining hours of mine 2: M2
Objective function: Minimize operating cost < 200M1 + 160 M2
Explicit constraints:
6M1 + 2M2 ≥ 12
2M1+ 2M2≥ 8
4M1+ 12M2 ≥ 24
Implicit constraints:
M1> 0
M2>0
See the attachment for feasible region
The coordinates of feasible region are (0,0), (2,0),(0,2),(1.5,1.5)
To maximize cost substitute each of these coordinates in objective function
for(0,0)
cost=0 (neglect this cost since M1>0 and M2 >0)
for(2,0)
cost= 320
for (0,2)
cost= 400
for (1.5,1.5)
cost= 540
the lowest operating cost is achieved when mine 1 is operated for 0 hours and mine 2 is operated for 2 hours
Answer:
9.14%
Explanation:
Tax exempt yield = 6.40% = 0.064
Marginal tax rate = 30% = 0.30
Equivalent taxable yield = Tax exempt yield / (1 - marginal tax rate)
Equivalent taxable yield = 0.064 / (1 - 0.30)
Equivalent taxable yield = 0.064 / 0.70
Equivalent taxable yield = 0.0914286
Equivalent taxable yield = 9.14%
