What effect does the availability of many substitutes have on the elasticity of demand for a good?

zepelin [54]3 years ago

The availability of many substitutes increases the elasticity of demand for a good. With the presence of substitutes the consumer has more options to seek out if there are price changes, therefore, the consumer is highly responsive to price changes and thus the elasticity of the demand curve is higher if there are many substitutes.

"Stock R has a beta of 1.5, Stock S has a beta of 0.75, the required return on an average stock is 10%, and the risk-free rate o
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

4.5%

Explanation:

Stock R (Beta) = 1.5

Stock S  (Beta) = 0.75

Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%

Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B

Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B

Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B

Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)

Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09

Stock R = 0.13

Stock R = 13%

Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)

Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045

Stock S = 0.085

Stock S = 8.5%

Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.

= 13% - 8.5%

= 4.5%

Which form of investment has the most amount of risk involved?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Is this supposed to be a multiple choice question?  It is way fun to think about projects other people might be up to which carry outrageously high risk!

Restaurants are a common example -- there's a little bit of magic in whether a new restaurant will catch on and become popular.

Farming is pretty risky.  You can do everything right and have a hail storm come and ruin the crops.  That's why there are government programs and commodity markets that help farmers mitigate their risk -- because the rest of us who need to eat really need for people to be willing to farm!

Yani just graduated from college and moved back to his hometown in Connecticut. He is offered a job at the large insurance firm
user100 [1]

Answer:

With Yani's counter-wage offer, the insurance firm will likely reject his counter-offer and, in the extreme, withdraw the employment proposal with the firm.

Explanation:

As indicated in the question, the insurance company is a monopsony.  A monopsony is the single buyer in the marketplace.  This means that there is no other firm that can employ Yani in his Connecticut hometown.  He must look for another job in another environment outside his hometown or condescend to accept the lower than hoped-for salary by the large insurance firm.
