Answer:

The demand for Post Raisin Brand cereal is: ELASTIC  

the demand for all types of breakfast cereals is: INELASTIC

Explanation:

To calculate the price elasticity of demand (PED) we can use the following formula:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

  • If PED > 1, the demand is price elastic
  • If PED = 1, the demand is price unitary
  • If PED < 1, the demand is price inelastic

*The PED always results in a negative number, e.g. price deceases, quantity increases, but for practical reasons we convert the negative number into a positive (we use absolute values) when we are determining the elasticity.

seropon [69]

Answer: Cyclical asymmetry

Explanation:

In economics, Cyclical asymmetry is defined as

A value that represents a large imbalance in economic factors due to genuine cyclical reactions by a country or market.

It includes employment rates,  interest rates, debt retention, bond strengths, or stock market imbalances.

If we assume the Fed creates excess reserves in the banking system by buying government bonds, but banks do not make more loans because economic conditions are bad.

Since this happens due to the cyclical reaction of the government.

This means that,

This situation is a problem of <u>cyclical asymmetry</u>.

you are billed $300 at 5% simple interest for 2 years but given an opportunity to pay only 3% compound interest for 2 years. Whi
balandron [24]
This question is a bit tricky to answer because it does not state how often interest rate is applied so lets say for the simple 5% interest rate the rate of interest was calculated after 2 years you would pay a total interest of $15 since interest was only calculated once but for the 3% calculating every year with compound it would be a total of 18.27 dollars in interest but then you would have to calculate the 5% simple interest the same way which would total to $30 if calculated once a year being more than the 3% compound. But lets say interest is calculated once a month your total for the 5% simple interest would be $360 dollars interest for those 2 years and the 3% compound would be $406.97 dollars in interest. So over all the less amount of times interest compounds the less interest there is making it more worth than the simple but if the compounding occurs more frequently the simple 5% interest is more worth it. In this situation I think it might just be yearly interest which makes the 3% compound more worth taking for this short amount of time.
