Answer:
B. 16.53%
Explanation:
The effective interest rate is the real interest rate charged by a bank or any other type of lender on a loan.
the formula to calculate effective interest rate = r = (1 + i/n)ⁿ - 1
r = [1 + (15.3%/365)³⁶⁵] -1 = 1.00419178³⁶⁵ - 1 = 1.165287621 - 1 = 0.165287621 ≈ 16.53%
Answer:
cross price elasticity of demand = 1.8
Explanation:
cross price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of X / % change in price of Y
cross price elasticity of demand = 9% / 5% = 1.8
When the cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the products are substitutes. If the cross price elasticity is negative, then the products are complements.
