16. According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy, sales of the fuel-efficient Toyota Prius hybrid fell from 194,108 vehi

cles sold in 2014 to 180,603 in 2015. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline fell from $3.36 to $2.43 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Toyota Prii (the official plural of "Prius" is "Prii") and regular gasoline. According to your estimate of the cross-price elasticity, are the two goods complements or substitutes? Does your answer make sense?

Answer:

0.22 and substitutes goods

Explanation:

The computation of the cross-price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

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

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 180,603 - 194,108

= -13,505

And, the average of quantity demanded is

= (180,603 + 194,108) ÷ 2

= 187,356

Change in price is

= P2 - P1

= $2.43 - $3.36

= -$0.93

And, the average of price is

= ($2.43 + $3.36) ÷ 2

= 2.895

So, after solving this, the cross - price elasticity is 0.22

Since the cross - price elasticity is positive that reflect the goods are substitutes to each other

"what is the difference between a credit card and a debit card? why are credit cards considerably more popular with u.s. consume
Y_Kistochka [10]
The difference between credit card and a debit card is that:
Debit cards are linked to your bank account, and money is withdrawn from the account as soon as the transaction occurs. While credit cards are not linked to your bank account, they are linked to the bank or institution that issued the card. Credit card are billed monthly.
Credit cards are considerably more popular with U.S. consumers because debit cards are linked to your bank account and if someone stole the card, all the money in your bank account will vanish. where credit cards are not linked to your bank account, it is charged monthly as much money as you want.

Nina [5.8K]

Sometimes one observes that the price of a company's stock falls after the announcement of favorable earnings. This phenomenon is consistent with the efficient markets hypothesis if the earning were not as high as anticipated

The efficient market hypothesis states that neither technical nor fundamental analysis can generate excess returns because new information in the market is immediately reflected in stock prices.

The efficient market hypothesis is a hypothesis in financial economics that states that asset prices reflect all available information. A direct consequence of this is that it is impossible to "beat" the market consistently on a risk-adjusted basis, as market prices should only respond to new information.

Suppose Antonio and Caroline are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff ma
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: See explanation column for answer

Explanation:

                                Caroline

                           left           Right

Anthonio   left   6,6             6,3

                  Right  4,3            5,5

The first digits in both left and right  is Anthonio's best response payoff given what Caroline chooses. Also, the second digit on both left and right is Caroline's best response payoff  based on what Anthonio chooses.

When Antonio chooses left, Caroline should choose left so as to get a payoff of 6, also when Antonio chooses right, Caroline chooses right to get a payoff of 5. therefore, there is no dominant strategy for Caroline.

The dominant strategy for Antonio occurs  

When Caroline chooses left, Antonio will have to choose left to get a payoff of 6, also when  Caroline chooses right, Antonio should choose left to get a payoff of 6. So, the dominant strategy for Antonio is to choose left.

The only dominant strategy in this game is for Antonio, to choose left.

b).  For Nash Equilibrum, Antonio will have to choose his dominant strategy, that is to choose left, which will make  Caroline is to choose left so as to get a payoff of 6. So, the Nash equilibrium is for Antonio to choose <u>left </u>and caroline chooses<u> left</u> too

densk [106]

Answer:

The amount received in cash is $686

Explanation:

The amount which is received in cash is computed as:

On June 20, the amount of $300 goods returns from customer, so the remaining balance is

= $1,000 - $300

= $700

On the remaining balance, the discount which is evaluated as the payment is received within the discount period which is June 24. So,

= $700 x  (100% - 2%)

= $ 700 x  98%

= $ 686
