Answer:

$7.5

Greater

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

0.2 = 10%/ percentage change in price

percentage change in quantity demanded = 50% = 0.5

0.5 = (New price - $5) / $5

New price = (5 × 0.5) + 5 = $7.5

In the short run, demand is relatively inelastic because consumers need time to find suitable substitutes but in the long run, demand is usually more elastic.

I hope my answer helps you

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$28,600

Explanation:

Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

As such, the net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs.

The company's net operating income (loss)

= $42,300 + $94,700 -  $108,400

= $28,600

Some people include a letter of last instruction in their estate planning. What is likely TRUE about this letter?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A Letter of Last Instruction (LOLI) serves to give family important information such as where the person wants to be buried, instructions for any pets, or location of important legal documents.  

Side note: this is not a will, and should not be used as a substitution for one. A will is a legal document, a LOLI is not.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions about my response.

The interest rate on short-term U.S. government bonds is 4 percent. The risk premium for any asset with a beta = 1.0 is 6 percen
Basile [38]

Answer:

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

Explanation:

The CAPM (fixed asset pricing) model describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected return on assets, especially stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout the financial community to value high-risk securities and achieve the expected returns on assets when taking into account the risk of those assets and the cost of capital.

The formula for calculating the expected return on an asset taking into account its risk is as follows:

ERi = Rf + βi (ERm - Rf)

where:

ERi = expected return on investment

Rf = risk-free interest rate = 4 percent.

βi = beta inversion =1.0

(ERm −Rf) = market risk premium = 6 percent.

ERi = 4 + 1 ×(6) =10

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

GDP does not directly include: Select one: a. the value of goods produced domestically and sold abroad. b. the value of intermed
serg [7]

Answer:

The value of intermediate goods sold during a period.

Explanation:

GDP: <em>Gross domestic product</em> include the services and the value of finished products in a given period.

However, the <em>intermediary goods </em>aren't accounted for as, there will be an error of double counting. <em>Because </em>when you count for an <em>intermediary good </em>and that good is now <em>finished</em> and part of another good, when you will count that <em>finished good</em>, the value of that intermediary good will be counted also, so this will double the numbers of your <em>GDP </em>and you will make an error.
