When the local grocery store puts cereal on sale, reducing its price from $4.40 per item to $3.40 per item, the quantity sold in
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

1. Price elasticity of demand

2 & 3. 4.55%

4 & 5. 22.73%

6. 0.2

8. 15.79%

9. 0.56  

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial quantity demanded = 220

New quantity demanded = 230

Initial price = $4.40

New price = $3.40

1. This illustrates the price elasticity of demand.  Price elasticity of demand is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to any change in the price of the commodity.

2 & 3. Percentage change in quantity demanded:

= [(New quantity demanded - Initial quantity demanded) ÷ Initial quantity demanded] × 100

= [(230 - 220) ÷ 220] × 100

= 0.04545 × 100

= 4.55%

4 & 5. Percentage change in price:

= [(New price - Initial price) ÷ Initial price] × 100

= [($3.40 - $4.40) ÷ $4.40] × 100

= 0.2273 × 100

= 22.73%

6. Price elasticity of demand for cereal:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= 4.55 ÷ 22.73

= 0.2

7. The price elasticity of demand is comes out to be 0.2 which is less than 1, indicates that quantity demanded is less responsive to changes in the price level.

8 & 9. Given that,

Initial quantity demanded = 210

New quantity demanded = 230

Initial price = $4.10

New price = $3.50

Using the mid point method,

Average price:

= (Initial price + New price ) ÷ 2

= ($4.10 + $3.50 ) ÷ 2

= $3.8

Percentage change in price:

= (New price - Initial price) ÷ Average price

= ($3.50 - $4.10) ÷ $3.8

= 0.1579 or 15.79%

Average quantity demanded:

= (Initial quantity demanded + New quantity demanded ) ÷ 2

= (210 + 230) ÷ 2

= 220

Percentage change in quantity demanded:

= (New quantity demanded - Initial quantity demanded) ÷ Average quantity demanded

= (230 - 210) ÷ 220

= 0.0909 or 9.09%

Price elasticity of demand:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= 9.09 ÷ 15.79

= 0.56

How does a deductible affect insurance?
Alex73 [517]

The deductible is the amount a person must pay before their insurance will start to pay. For instance, say you have a $1,000 deductible on your car and you have a wreck that causes $3,000 worth of damage. the driver would have to pay the $1,000 first and then the insurance will help cover the other $2,000 at the rate the policy stipulates.

As for pricing, the insurance policies with higher deductibles (meaning the subscriber pays more for losses), the insurance premium would be cheaper than those policies with a smaller deductible.

In comparing money to a share of microsoft stock held by an individual, we can say:_______.
Anastaziya [24]

In comparing money to a share of Microsoft stock held by an individual, we can say, only the money is a means of payment, but both are stores of value.

In order to serve as a medium of exchange, money is very widely accepted as a method of payment. When comparing money to a share of Microsoft stock which is held by an individual, it can be said that money is a means of payment, but here the stock and money both are stores of value.

As a store of value, money is not unique as there are many other stores of value exist, such as stocks, land, works of art etc. Money may not even be the best store of value because it depreciates with inflation.

Hence, money is a means of payment, but together with money, stocks can also be stores of value.
