Answer:

E) 0.39

Explanation:

the price elasticity of demand measures how much will a 1% change in price affect the quantity demanded.

  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in a higher proportion, then the PED > 1, so the demand is elastic.
  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in a lower proportion, then the PED < 1, so the demand is inelastic.
  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in the same proportion, then the PED = 1, so the demand is unit elastic.

PED using the midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

PED = {(16,000 - 17,000) / [(16,000 + 17,000) / 2]} / {(48 - 41) / [(48 + 41) / 2]} = {-1,000 / 16,500} / {7 / 44.5 } = -0.0606 / 0.1573 = -0.385 ≈ 0.39 inelastic

*PED is always negative, but we use the absolute value for practical terms, e.g. a price decrease will increase the quantity demanded.

Readme [11.4K]

A sharp increase in taxes affects many middle-class families.

A sports-apparel company cuts jobs as a result of slow sales.

A fast-food chain goes out of business and shuts down all of its restaurants.

Explanation:

The circular income or circulated flow is a model for the economy where the big transactions between the market participants are represented as cash flows, goods and services, etc. The cash and goods flows transferred in a closed circuit complement the interest but are going in the reverse direction.

Retirements are factors in an economy that escapes from distributed labor flows and reduces national income sizes.

Withdrawals include: savings, taxes and imports.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The first mover that creates a revolutionary product is in a monopoly position.

Explanation:

First Mover is the big initiator of a new product, which gains a competitive 'first mover advantage' for being the pioneer of the idea in the market.

  • The first mover can be able to establish brand loyalty
  • Being a first mover doesn't guarantee instant success
  • The first mover can create switching costs for its customers to deter rivals.

The only apt statement is : The first mover that creates a revolutionary product is in a monopoly position. The first mover enters the market when there is no major supplier & the customer's demand is unmet. If it enables to leverage the potential huge unsatisfied market in a revolutionary way, it can be able to create unparalleled brand loyalty. And this can make it secure monopoly position in market

Interest rates on 3-year Treasury securities are currently 1.92%, while 10-year Treasury securities yield 5.62%. If the pure exp
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: 7.24%

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

3 years treasury securities have an interest rate = 1.92%

10 years treasury security has an interest rate = 5.62%

Let the 7 year treasury security interest in 3 years be represented by z.

Based on the expectation theory

( 1+1.92%)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 5.62%)^10

(1+0.0192)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 0.0562)^10

(1.0192)^3 (1 + z%)^7 = (1.0562)^10

1.05871(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767

Divide both side by 1.05871

(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767/1.05871

(1 + z%)^7= 1.6319

1 + z% = 1.6319^1/7

1 + z% = 1.6319^0.1429

1 + z% = 1.0724

z% = 1.0724 - 1

z% = 0.0724

We then convert the decimal to percentage

z = 7.24%

The market believes that 7-year Treasury securities will be yielding 7.24% in 3 years .
