Answer:

B) is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

Explanation:

First of all, the demand for oil is extremely inelastic in both the short run and the long run. It is extremely inelastic in the short run, because alternative energy sources or alternative materials are not a possibility in the short run. For example, Tesla which is one the most valuable car makers in the world, only sold 367,500 cars last year, while the Volkswagen group (sells 12 different car brands) sold over 10 million.

On the long run, the demand for oil is still very inelastic, but much less than in the short run. The PED in the short run is 0.061 v. 0.453 in the long run. Hopefully in the long run we (as humanity as a whole) will find a cleaner and safer substitute for oil. The probability of an oil substitute in the future makes the PED more elastic or it is better to say, less inelastic.

Answer: B. is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found

Explanation:

The Demand for Crude oil is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

Crude oil is more elastic in the long run because consumers have enough time to find substitute products for crude oil. Price elasticity of demand in the short run  is low because consumers donot have sufficient time to look for substitutes , they donot have much of a choice but to take whatever price is charged by producers of crude oil

A bond with 25 years to maturity, 7% coupon, quoted on a 6.25% basis is callable in 10 years at 103, 15 years at 102, and 20 yea
eduard

Answer: 10 years to call

Explanation:

Maturity period = 25 years

Coupon rate = 7%

6.25% basis is,

  • Callable in 10 years at 103
  • Callable in 15 years at 102
  • Callable in 20 years at par

This bond is considered as premium bond. Therefore, in case of premium bonds, Yield to call will be lower than the yield to maturity. Here, the question is which call date should be utilized. According to the rule of thumb, it states that always use the term that is nearest to the whole call date.

Hence, on the customer's confirmation, the dollar price quoted must be based on 10 years to call.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

no surplus or shortage

Explanation:

Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.

Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied

If demamd increases by 100, new equilibrium is 40

Thus, ceiling price equal equilibrium

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.

Effects of a binding price ceiling

It leads to shortages

it leads to the development of black markets

it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
