Answer: Becky's income elasticity of demand for eating at Macaroni grill is 10.22.

We calculate income elasticity of demand with the following formula:

\mathbf{\eta _{I}= \frac{(Q_{1}-Q_{0})/(Q_{1}+Q_{0})}{(I_{1}-I_{0})/(I_{1}+I_{0})}}

where

η is the Greek letter eta that is used to denote elasticity of demand

Subscript I is used to denote Income elasticity

Q₁ is the quantity consumed after change in income

Q₀ is the quantity consumed before in income

I₁ is the new income

I₀ is the old income

Substituting the values we get,

\mathbf{\eta _{I}= \frac{(5-3)/(5+3)}{(33500-31900)/(33500+31900)}}

\mathbf{\eta _{I}= \frac{(2)/(8)}{(1600)/(65400)}}

\mathbf{\eta _{I}= \frac{0.25}{0.024464832} = 10.21875}

Question 2 (5 points) Based on the following data, determine the amount of total assets, total liabilities, and net worth. Liqui
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the total assets, total liabilities and the net worth is shown below:

Total assets = liquid assets + investment asset + household assets

= $3,200 + $7,340 + $97,890

= $108,430

The total liabilities is

= Current liabilities + long term liabilities

= $1,670 + $70,230

= $71,900

So, the net worth is

= Total assets - total liabilities

= $108,430 - $71,900

= $36,530

If income decreases and, at the same time, a new technology is discovered that lowers the cost of producing the good, which of t
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

b. Cannot tell the change in equilibrium quantity. The equilibrium price will decrease

Explanation:

Two things are going on here

1. Income decreases, that will shift demand inwards. People can buy fewer goods at any given price

2. New technology is discovered, that shifts supply outwards. Costs are reduced so producers can produce more at a given price

The resulting effects are that price will decrease but the result in quantity is undetermined. This can be seen with the two examples attached. In both cases, the shifting of the curves from D0->D1 and S0->S1 results in lower prices. However, in one case the equilibrium quantity goes up and in the other goes up.

Rylan Industries is expected to pay a dividend of $5.70 year for the next four years. If the current price of Rylan stock is $31
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: Rylan's stock would sell for $21.96 at the end of the four years

Explanation:

PV = Current Price = $31.27

D = Dividend paid each year =$5.70

r = Equity cost of capital = 12%

FV = Price of Rylan's stock at the end of four years = ??

N = Number of years = 4

PV = D [\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1+r)^{N} } }{r} ] + \frac{FV}{(1+r)^{4} }

31.27 = 5.70 [\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1+0.12)^{4} } }{0.12} ] + \frac{FV}{(1+0.12)^{4} }

Solve for FV,

FV = $21.96

Rylan's stock would sell for $21.96 at the end of the four years
