Answer:
The correct answer is the demand has increased.
Explanation:
At the market price of $5/unit, the quantity demanded is 20 units.
Last year at the price level of $4, the quantity demanded was 20 units.
We see that even though the price has increased the quantity demanded is the same. This indicates that the demand has increased.
When there is an increase in the demand for a commodity, the demand curve moves to the right. This upward or rightward shift in the demand curve will cause the price of the commodity to increase. Though the quantity demanded will be the same.

Answer:
Option (d) 7 times
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Net income = $250,000
Dividends paid to common stockholders = $50,000
Common stock outstanding = 50,000
Selling price of the common stocks = $35
Now,
The price-earnings ratio is calculated as:
⇒ ( Stock price ) ÷ ( Earnings per share )
also,
Earnings per share = ( Net income ) ÷ ( common stock outstanding )
= $250,000 ÷ 50,000
= $5
or
Price-earnings ratio = $35 ÷ $5
or
Price-earnings ratio = 7 times
Option (d) 7 times
