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

Azim works for a talented young fashion designer. Azim is promised an internship at a competing large fashion house in exchange
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

It is Conflict of interest. (B)

Explanation:

A conflict of interest arises when what is in a person’s best interest is not in the best interest of another person or organization to which that individual owes loyalty.

For example,  Azim is helping  himself  here but  simultaneously hurting  his employer by agreeing to give out his current employer young designer's drawings to a close competitor.

A conflict of interest  exists when a person must answer to two different individuals or groups whose needs are at odds with each other. In this case, serving one individual or group will injure the other.
