<u>Answer:</u>

b. The appearance of a substitute for DVDs with increase the elasticity coefficient for DVDs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

"Price elasticity of demand" refers to the proportion of a product's percentage change in demand quantity in relation to the percentage change in the good's price. Rates are fixed in a market economy by commodity supply and demand factors.

Markets consist of producers and consumers. Our analysis of buyers' behaviour is focused on demand curves; supply curves reflect sellers' behaviour. The lesser the good's price, the greater the quantity consumers want to buy, as per the “law of demand”.

If a new technology substitutes the DVD, which leads to decrease in their demand. This further leads to the increase in price. Assuming the elasticity is 3.0, a price increase of 10 percent will lower the demand quantity by 30 percent (30 percent/10 percent or 3.0). Thus, the DVD’s elasticity coefficient will increase.

Assume that you are considering the purchase of a 15-year bond with an annual coupon rate of 9.5%. The bond has face value of $1
Dimas [21]

Answer:

We are going to pay  $892.137 or less for the bonds.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the present value of the bond at 11% interet rate

Cashflow from the bond:

Principal x interest = interest service

1,000 x 9.5% = 95

Present value of annuity of 95 during 15 year at 11%

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

95 * \frac{1-(1+.11)^{-15} }{.11} = PV\\

Present value of the interest service 683,1326097

Second we have to calculate the present value of the 1,000 principal in 15 years

\frac{Amount}{(1+rate)^{time}} ) = PV

\frac{1,000}{(1+0.11)^{15}} ) = PV

209.0043467

Finally we add both together for the present value fothe bond at our rate

209.0043467+ 683,1326097 = 892.1369564 = 892.137

Alla [95]

Answer:

Consumers would not keep buying ice cream at $2.75 because after purchasing a certain amount of ice cream, utility would be maximised and consumers would not value ice cream at $2.75 anymore. Consumers would not purchase a product it the marginal utility that would be derived from consuming the product is less than the price.

According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, as more units of a product is increased, total utility increases but at a decreasing rate.

Explanation:

Marginal utitiy is the increase in utility that is derived from consuming one more unit of a product.

If a seller includes an express warranty in the written sales contract, any disclaimer is invalid.a. Trueb. False
valina [46]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A disclaimer is a statement seeking to define the limits of a party's rights or obligation concerning a legally binding agreement.  In a warranty disclaimer, the seller will include a statement that explains conditions or situations in which the warranty will not apply. The seller discharges themselves from any liabilities that the buyer may incur should an incident detailed in the warranty disclaimer arises.

Disclaimer warrants are allowed and legal. No law demands that the seller offer any form of warranty. However, a disclaimer warrant cannot be issued where an implied contract applies. For example, if you buy a fridge, you expect it to keep food items cold. A disclaimer statement in the sale of the fridge stating that the seller will be not responsible if the refrigerator cannot keep things at low temperatures is illegal.
