are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:________. 1. Price elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = -2.5 2. Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros = 1.5 3. Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline = -0.80 4. Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = 3.00

Answer:

1. if the price of Chevrolet Camaro increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs increases. Conversely, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs falls.

2.If the price of gasoline increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs would fall and if the price of gasoline falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs would increase.

3. if income increases, demand for Ford Mustangs increases and if demand falls, demand for Ford Mustangs falls

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.

If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.

The income elasticity is given as 3 , it means that demand is elastic. So if income increases, demand for Ford Mustangs increases and if demand falls, demand for Ford Mustangs falls.

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.

If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitutes goods.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.

If the cross price elasticitiy is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.

Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together

Because the cross price elasticity between Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustangs is positive, it means they are subsituite goods. So, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs increases. Conversely, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs falls.

Because the cross price elasticity of demand between gasoline and Ford Mustangs are negative, they are complementary goods.

If the price of gasoline increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs would fall and if the price of gasoline falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs would increase.

Leonardo, who is married but files separately, earns $90,000 of taxable income. He also has $8,750 in city of Tulsa bonds. His w
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: 17.56%

Explanation:

Given that,

Leonardo taxable income = $90,000

Tulsa bonds = $8,750

Theresa taxable income = $50,000

Computation of Leonardo's Tax:

According to the tax rate schedule,

Total Tax = Tax + 24% of taxable income over $82,500

                = $14,089.50 + 24% × $7,500

                = $14,089.50 + $1,800

                = $15,889.5

Computation of Theresa's Tax:

According to the tax rate schedule,

Total Tax = Tax + 22% of taxable income over $38,700

                = $4453.50 + 22% × $11,300

                = $4453.50 + $2,486

                = $6939.5

Total tax on Leonardo's income and Theresa's income:

= $15,889.5 + $6939.5

= $22,829

Effective tax rate = \frac{Total\ Tax}{Total\ Taxable\ Income}\times100

                              = \frac{22,829}{130,000}\times100

                              = 17.56%

tester [92]

The correct answer is C. Helps developing nations escape from poverty

Explanation:

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is one of the most important organizations worldwide that regulate the trade between nations, the WTO includes almost all countries in all continents and aims at facilitating trade and other economic activities. Despite this, the WTO is criticized by many for multiple reasons that include the pollution and environmental degradation due to more trade and manufacture, the irregularities in protections and conditions as some countries skip laws about workplace safety, child labor, etc. and that it supports big multinational corporations rather than small local businesses.

However, one of the reasons critics of the WTO do not mention because it is a positive aspect of the WTO and the liberalized trade is that it actually "helps developing nations escape from poverty" as it provides opportunities for all the members to trade products especially those that are exclusive from each country.
