Answer:

Cross Price elasticity of demand = -0.06

The Goods are complements

If the demand for Hot dogs increased by 15% or more after Ketchup prices increased by 15%, then both items will be interpreted to be substitute items.

Explanation:

Cross Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded for Hot dogs / % change in price of Ketchup

= -1% divided by 15%

= -0.06

Based on the rules,

When Cross Price elasticity is > 0 = the products are substitutes

When Cross Price elasticity is = 0 = the products are independent

When Cross Price elasticity is < 0 = the products are Complements

This means therefore that Ketchup and Hot dogs are complementary items.

A holder of Rainbow Funds convertible bonds with a $1,000 par and a $1,100 price can convert the bond to 25 shares of common sto
omeli [17]

Answer:

22.22%

Explanation:

Currently Rainbow's stocks are priced at $36 per stock.

If the holder can convert his $1,100 bond into 25 stocks, that means that each stock should be worth at least $44 (= $1,100 / 25).

So the current stock price should increase by $8 (= $44 - $36) in order for a trade to be attractive, $8 represents a 22.22% increase (= ($8 / $36) x 100)
