Answer:

The answer to the following question is: (-9.34)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = -0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6

The price elasticity of demand = ( change in quality / change in price)

     =   (dp / dx)  (x/p)

     =   d / dx   (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)   x / p

     =   (-0.14x - 0.7)  x/ (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

elasticity = (-0.14x^2 - 0.7x) / (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

at x=5;

elasticity = (-0.14(5)^2 - 0.7(5)) / (-0.07 (5)^2 - 0.7(5)  + 6)

              = (-3.5 - 3.5) / (-1.75 - 3.5 + 6)

              =  -7/ 0.75 = -9.333

              = -9.34

Suppose you think Wal-Mart stock is going to appreciate in the next year. Current price is $100, and the call option expiring in
melomori [17]

Answer:

the rate of return for each alternative if one year later the stock price is $120 is 100% and 20%

Explanation:

Price of buying call option = 10*1000 = 10000

After 1 year the person can reverse the trade and get profit without having to buy the stock.

Hence profit = 120-100 = 20

Minus call price = 10

Profit per each share = 10

On 1000 shares = 10,000

Hence profit = 10,000/10,000 = 100%

In case we buy stock:

Price of stock = 100*1000 = 100,000

Profit on one stock = 120-100 = 20

On 1000 stock = 20,000

Profit = 20,000/100,000 = 20%

Therefore,the rate of return for each alternative if one year later the stock price is $120 is 100% and 20%

Skill-based pay systems do not support empowerment of employees. <br> a. True <br> b. False
Zolol [24]
This statement is false.
Skill-based pay systems actually do support empowerment of employees. This is because they will be paid according to what they know and what skills they already have which is why they will obviously want to become even better if they want to be paid more.
