Answer:
b.The good is a necessity
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price
3% / 12% = 0.25
When the coefficient of elasticity is less than one, demand is inelastic.
Inelastic demand means that when price increases, there is little or no change in quantity demanded.
Necessity goods are goods that are very important to consumers and thus they tend to have an inelastic demand. For example, medications.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good because of their similarity. E.g. butter and margarine
Goods with many substitutes have an elastic demand. If price of a good increases, consumers can easily shift consumption to substitute goods.
Narrowly defined goods have an elastic demand because it is easier to find subsituites for such goods.
Demand is more elastic in the long run because consumers have more time to search for substitutes.

A.are a good source of referrals.
Answer: equal to; at their minimum.
Explanation: Marginal cost is equal to the average variable cost and the average total cost when they are at their minimum.
Thus, when average total cost is increasing, marginal cost must be above average total cost; and when at its minimum, marginal cost is equal to average total cost. Also, when average variable cost is at its minimum, marginal cost equals average variable cost.
Marginal cost is the increase in the cost that accompanies a unit increase in output; the partial derivative of the cost function with respect to output.
Answer:
3.45%
Explanation:
the real wage at the beginning of the recession (12/07) = nominal wage / price index Dec. 2007 = $17.70 / 2.1141 = $8.3721
the real wage at the end of the recession (6/09) = nominal wage / price index June 2009 = $18.53 / 2.14527= $8.6609
% change in real wage = [($8.6609 - $8.3721) / $8.3721] x 100 = 3.44955% = 3.45%
Due to the recession, the price index changed less than the nominal wages since the inflation rate was very low. It is normal that during recessions, specially severe ones, the inflation rate decreases or even turns negative (what happened in Europe in those years).
Answer:
Component cost of preferred stock is 11.4583 %
Explanation:
Given Data:
Preferred stock selling=96 percent of par.
Annual Coupon =11 percent
Required:
What would be Marme’s component cost of preferred stock?
Solution:
The formula we are going to use is:
Where:
is 11 percent annual coupon
preferred stock selling for 96 percent of par
If we convert the above percentage to dollar using the scale $1=1% then:
=$11
=$96
Component cost of preferred stock is 11.4583 %
