Answer:

Price elasticity of demand is greater for the Car

Explanation:

Price elasticity of Demand = (Q2 - Q1/Q1) ÷ (P2 - P1/P1)

For the car,

PED = (110 - 100/100) ÷ (10000-9900/10000)

= 0.1 ÷ 0.01

= 10

PED = (110 - 100/100) ÷ (1000-900/1000)

= 0.1 ÷ 0.1

= 1

Since 10 > 1, hence the PED of the Car is greater than that of vacation homes.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

C) 20.48%

Explanation:

I will use an example to show this:

1€ = $1

if the euro depreciates by 17%, then the exchange rate will be 0.83€ = $1

in order for the euro to recover its previous value against the dollar, it needs to increase 0.17€ / 0.83€ = 0.2048 = 20.48%

in other words, a 17% depreciation is equivalent to a 20.48% revaluation.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return of a stock is the mean return that is expected to be earned by the stock considering the different scenarios that can occur, the return in these scenarios and the probability of the occurrence of these scenarios. The formula for expected rate of return of stock is,

rE = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  + pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability that scenario A, B and so on will occur or the probability of each scenario
  • rA, rB, ... represents the return in scenario A, B and so on

rE = 0.21 * 0.2  +  0.72 * 0.15  +  0.07 * -0.02

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%
