Answer:

0.33 pounds of pears

Explanation:

Let the price of 1 pound of apple (Pa) be =  $1

1. So, price / pound of pear (Pp) = 0.5 more = $1 + $0.5 = $1.5

Expenditure (E) on 5 pounds of apples = P x Q =  5 x $1 = $5

Pears pounds purchase-able by same amount i.e $5 = E/ Pp = 5 /1.5= $0.33

2. ∵ Pa = $1 , ∴ Pp = 1.5 times = $1.5

E on 5 Pa = $5

Pears pounds purchase-able by same amount i.e $5 = E/ Pp = 5 /1.5= $0.33

Which of the following is most likely to be characterized by substantial asymmetric information?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

d.

Explanation:

Asymmetric information refers to when one party in a transaction has a substantial more amount of information than the other party. This being the case it can be said that the scenario that would most likely be classified as this is a wireless service that includes unlimited minutes and texting. This is because the buyer is most likely thinking that they are getting a great deal when in fact the seller/provider has access to information that the buyer does not know, which allows them to provide this deal and still make a great profit.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The forecast exchange rate in one's year time according to Goldman Sachs is MXN 14.25/USD

Explanation:

The fact that the Mexican Peso will lose 15% of its value to the dollar means that a dollar will command 15% of the current Peso value  in  a year's time.

Mathematically, MXN 9.5*1.15= MXN14.25 in a year's time.

It also implies that a Mexican with dollars wanting to convert into MXN in a year's time will receive more Peso compared to now.
