When an economist says that "Kevin's income elasticity of red wine is 6" he means that if Kevin's income increases by 10%, the quantity of red wine demanded by Kevin rises by 60%. So, red wine is income elastic. Since the income elasticity is greater than 1, red wine is a luxury good for Kevin.


Income elasticity measures the change in the quantity of goods demanded relative to a change in income.

If an increase in income results in a decrease in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is an inferior or cheap good. The income elasticity of a cheap good is negative.

If the demand for a good rises with an increase in income, then that good is a normal good. The income elasticity of normal goods is greater than zero.

If an increase in income results in a greater increase in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is a luxury good. The income elasticity of a luxury good is greater than 1.

Which do you think creates more of a challenge for marketers, multiculturalism or multigenerationalism? EXPLAIN
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Multiculturalism is when there are several different cultural or ethnic groups within society. These people differ on culture, race and ethnicities so their values and way of life are unique to their culture.  Multigenerationalism is when there are several different age groups (generations) present within society. I think it is more of a challenge for marketers to market with many different cultures living within society because cultures usually have larger differences over generations. With generations, customs do change and there are differences but they are still of the same nationality and race so the social norms are much more similar.  When there are larger differences it is hard to market and reach all of the potential consumers.

You own a portfolio that has a total value of $215,000 and it is invested in Stock D with a beta of .86 and Stock E with a beta
babunello [35]

Answer:  BP = BD(WD) + BE(WE)

                   1 = 0.86(1-WE) + 1.39WE

                   1 = 0.86-0.86WE + 1.39WE

                   1 = 0.86 + 0.53WE

                 -0.53WE = -0.14

                  0.53WE  = 0.14

                         WE   = 0.14/0.53

                         WE   = 0.2641509434

                         WD = 1 - WE

                         WD = 1 - 0.2641509434

                         WD = 0.7358490566

The dollar amount of investment in stock D = 0.7358490566 x $215,000

                                                                         = $158,207.54

Explanation: The beta of the portfolio is 1, which corresponds to the beta of the market. The beta of the portfolio equals beta of each stock multiplied by the percentage of fund invested in each stock(weight). The weight of stock D is equal to 1 - weight of stock E. Therefore, we need to make weight of stock E the subject of the formula by solving the problem mathematically and collecting the like terms. The weight of stock E is 0.2641509434. The weight of stock E will be subtracted from 1 so as to obtain the weight of stock D, which is 0.7358490566. The dollar amount of stock D equal to $215,000 multiplied by 0.7358490566, which is $158,207.54.

I am trying to understand the Opportunity cost. Can anyone help me please? I can't seem to get Economics, I really need help. Yo
sesenic [268]
<span>Basically "Opportunity cost" is what you're going to lose (or have a potential to lose) if you chose a different action than what you're presented with. In the example, you're working for $15 an hour, but if you decide instead to skip a pratrice to go to the fair you're losing out of the $15 an hour you'll be paid and have to pay $9 to go to the fair. All total, you're opportunity costs for that will be $24 (fifteen you would have made plus the nine dollar fee.) This is also assuming, of course, they don't fire/dock you for just skipping work.</span>
