Answer:

$958

Explanation:

The amount that is excess in the initial margin account can be withdrawn. So we calculate the price increase that will result in a $2000 increase in initial margin.

The present price per unit of the commodity is 950 cents for 25,000 units

A unit increase of the price (which is in cents) will be 1/100= 0.01

Therefore an increase in price of 0.01 will lead to gain of 0.01 * 25,000= $250

Let's get price increase that will result in $2,000 gain

$250 = 1 unit price increase

$2,000 = x

x= (2000 * 1) ÷ 250= 8 units increase

Therefore the price at which $2,000 can be withdrawn is 950 + 8= 958 cents

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Her income elasticity of demand for cottage cheese is <em><u>0.3333</u></em> making it a <em><u>normal and necessary</u></em> good.

The income elasticity  of demand is given by :

\mathbf{YED = \frac{percentage change in demand}{percentage change in income}}

The percentage change in income is given as 60%. We calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as follows:

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{12-10}{10}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.2}\\

Substituting the value above in the income elasticity demand formula we get,

\mathbf{YED = \frac{0.20}{0.60}}

<u>YED = 0.33333</u>

Since the income elasticity is positive, and since Shawna buys more cottage cheese after an increase in income, we can classify this good as a normal good.

Since the income elasticity is between 0 and 1 we can also conclude that cottage cheese is also a essential good or a necessity.
