Answer:

A. Apple Pie Market Not perfectly competitive

B. Demand Curve Equation : q = 8.84 - 0.16p

C. Price Elasticity of Demand : 0.8 , 1.25

Explanation:

A. The Apple pie market is not perfectly competitive because the perfectly competitive market has large no of buyers & sellers, the demand is perfectly inelastic (infinite demand at given constant prices). However in this market , apple pie demand (sales) are responding to price change , so its not perfectly competitive

B. Demand curve is the graphical representation of price, demand. The Demand curve function : q = a - bp ;  where q = quantity, p = price, a = autonomous demand , b = represents price demand relationship & is negative because of negative price demand relationship (Law of Demand).

Putting q & p given values : 4 = a - 30b ; 5 = a - 24 b. Solving these two equations for a & b , we get : a = 8.84 , b = 0.16 . So, the demand curve equation becomes : q = 8.84 - 0.16p  & plotting this equation , we get demand curve.

C. Price Elasticity of Demand is responsiveness of demand to price change. Formula : %change in demand/ %change in price =  ∆Q /∆P X P/Q

P    Q

4    30  (*)

5    24  (**)

4.5   27 (***)

Ped (*, **) =  ∆Q /∆P X P/Q =  (6 / 1) x (4/30) = 0.8

Ped (*, **) =  (3 / 0.5) x (4/30) = 0.8

Ped (**, ***) = (3 / 0.5) x (5/24) = 1.25

Concrete terms can never be used in an abstract or symbolic way.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

Concrete terms are referred to those objects and events that are available to the five senses of human. However, these terms can be used in an abstract or symbolic way. A word is concrete in a specific context, but becomes a symbol of an abstract idea in a different context depending on the author's intent. This is possible because that symbol is not used in a literal meaning, but is used to represent an idea which usually means something else. Henche the given statement is wrong.

Coupon payment  = $100,000 x 12% = $120 annually = $60 semiannually

Interest Expense for the year = Interest Paid on June 30 + Interest Paid on December 31

Interest Expense for the year = $60 + $60 = $120

Advertising can play a major role in ____________and promoting cultural norms, which has drawn criticism from advocacy groups ar
trapecia [35]

Answer:

C) propagating certain cultural stereotypes

Explanation:

This is true not only for advertising but also for many mass media products. The problem is that sometimes reality is very different than the stereotypes that are portrayed.

One of the most controversial issues is the models' weight. Models tend to be usually much thinner than regular people, and that leads to a misconception that being extremely thin is good and healthy. Besides personal beauty preferences, a girl who is 5 foot 10 and weighs only 100 pounds is not healthy.

Similar issues like portraying certain family or lifestyle stereotypes may also have positive or negative effects on the audience since advertisement reaches millions of people.
