Answer:

The coefficient of cross elasticity of demand is negative, and therefore these goods are complements.

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand is the proportionate change in the quantity demanded to the proportionate change in the price of the related goods.

Cross elasticity of demand is negative in case of complementry goods as proportionate increase in price of one goods lead to decrease in the demand of related goods as both are complimentry and demanded jointly. Example: Petrol and car.

Cross elasticity of demand is positive in case of subtitute goods as proportionate decrease in price of one goods lead to decrease in the demand of substitute goods. Example: Tea and Coffee.

Explanation:

Net capital spending tells us how much the company has spent on acquiring fixed assets during the year, therefor provides an indication of the growth in the company’s fixed assets.

Net capital spending = Fixed assets at the end of the year – fixed assets at the beginning of the year + depreciation

Net capital spending = Increased or decreased in fixed Assets + depreciation

In Blue Fin Marina´s case:

Net capital spending = Increased or decreased in fixed Assets + depreciation

Net capital spending = 28,600 + 41,600

Net capital spending = 70,200
