Answer:

Based on the information supply of cards is more elastic (price sensitive) than that of roses

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply is defined as the sensitivity of quantity supplied to changes in price.

The formula is given below

Price elasticity of supply= Change in quantity supplied ÷ Change in price

In this scenario the demand for both roses and cards increases, however the price of roses increases more.

This implies that the denominator in the formula is higher in roses resulting in smaller price elasticity of supply.

The elasticity of supply for cards is higher than that of roses, so it is more sensitive to changes in price.

Cards can be stored from year to year so the labour for maintaining a stock of cards is low with resultant low price.

On the other hand roses require care to grow. It requires watering, application of chemicals to treat infestation and so on. So suppliers tend to push the extra cost of growing roses to the buyers

Answer:

Yes , Valentine cards are more price sensitive.

Explanation:

When Demand exceeds supply, prices rise. As a result of the increase in price, supply increases.

The increase in supply is in line with the law of supply which says, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

If there's an increase in the demand for roses and cards, it is expected that prices would rise. However, if supply for these items increases, prices would fall and if supply doesn't increase, price would not decrease.

So if the price of roses increases by more than the price of greeting cards it indicates that the supply of rose didn't increase as much as the increase in supply of cards.

This means that the supply of roses is less price sensitive when compared to greeting cards.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.  

Explanation:

Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.  

The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.

When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.

Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.

skad [1K]

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

This is the case unless the registered representative contributes capital proportionate to his sharing percentage and receives written approval of the principal. This is because the MSRB clearly prohibits this, but if the registered representative opens a joint account with the customer (granted the customer approves), and shares in both the gains and losses of the account with a proportionate capital contribution, then both are entering into the same risk and are allowed to share in the gains and losses. This is as long as the principal provides written approval.
