Answer:

2.33 ; demand for movies is elastic

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand is presented below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 30 - 15

= 15

And, an average of quantity demanded is

= (30 + 15) ÷ 2

= 22.50

Change in price would be

= P2 - P1

= $8 - $6

= $2

And, the average of price is

= ($8 + $6) ÷ 2

= 7

So, after solving this, the price elasticity of demand is 2.33

Since it is not given by which method we have to calculate it. So, we use the mid point formula.

Based on the above calculation, we concluded that the demand for movies is elastic

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Gross domestic product (GDP) is the monetary value of the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country at a specific time period.

Explanation:

Economic growth is the increase in the total output of goods and services in the economy.

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the monetary value of the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country at a specific time period. The four components of the gross domestic product (GDP) are personal consumption, business investment, government spending, and net exports (difference between export and import)

GDP = C + I + G + (X - M).

where C = consumption

I = investment

G = government expenditure

(X - M) = Net Export

The items not included in the are

1. Sales of goods produced outside the domestic borders of a country.

2. Sales of used goods.

3. Black market i.e. the illegal sales of goods and services.

4. Intermediate goods.

Nominal GDP is measure of the monetary value of all the final goods and services that are produced within a country at current market prices while Real GDP is the measure of a country’s output using the value of its goods and services, investments, government spending and exports. Real GDP is the nominal GDP and adjustment in inflation or deflation.

For example, if nominal GDP is $120,000 and the deflator is 1.4. Calculate Real GDP.

Real GDP = Nominal GDP / Deflator

= 120000 / 1.4

= $ 85714.29

Deffense [45]

Answer:

If you by a condo, you can deduct your mortgage interests from your gross income, property taxes are also deductible, and you can also get a homestead exemption on your condo since it is your home.

Co-ops on the other hand are corporations that own a building, and you own shares of that corporation. It is very difficult and only under certain circumstances, you can deduct mortgage interest expenses on a co-op, but generally not. You cannot deduct property taxes since you do not own any property yourself and you cannot claim a homestead exemption for a co-op for the same reason.

That is why co-ops are usually cheaper than condos.
