Jimmy's Peanut Farm wants to increase the quantity of peanuts that it sells by 1 percent. The price elasticity of demand for pea
slega [8]

Answer: Jimmy's Peanut Farm has to decrease its prices by 2.5% in order to achieve a 1% increase in the quantity of peanuts it sells.

Jimmy's Peanut Farm can increase the quantity sold by 1% only when the demand for peanuts increases. Demand for peanuts will increase only when the price of peanuts decrease. The Price Elasticity of Demand measures the responsiveness of demand to a percentage change in price.

The formula for Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is given by the formula:

\mathbf{PED = \frac{percentage change in quantity}{percentage change in price}}

We have:

Percentage increase in quantity               1%  or 0.01

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)               0.40

Re-arranging the PED formula above we get,

\mathbf{percentage change in price}= \frac{percentage change in quantity}{PED} *100}

Substituting the values in the equation above we get,

{percentage change in price} = \frac{0.01}{0.4}*100 =2.5

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$2,122,426

Explanation:

The computation of the amount that must to pay for the retirement of the mortgage is given below:

But first we have to determine the monthly payment i.e. PMT by using excel function

PV=-$2,250,000

RATE = 7.2% ÷ 12 = 0.6%

N = 12 × 30 = 360

FV = 0

PMT = $15,272.73

Now we have to determine the future value  

Given that

PV=-$2,250,000

RATE = 7.2% ÷ 12 = 0.6%

N = 12  × 5 = 60

PMT = $15,272.73

So,  FV  = $2,122,425.62
