Answer:

3.05

1.38

0.725

Explanation:

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

Arc elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

Price $25-$20

change in quantity demanded  = 40 - 20 = 20

average of both demands = (40 + 20) /2 = 30

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/30 = 0.67

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $25 - $20 = $5

average of both price = ($25 + $20) / 2 = 22.5

Price $20-$15

change in quantity demanded  = 60 - 40 = 20

average of both demands = (60 + 40) /2 = 50

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/50 = 0.4

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $20 - $15 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $20) / 2 = 17.5

midpoint change in price = 5 / 17.5 = 0.29

0.4/0.29 = 1.38

Price elasticity of demand = 0.67 / 0.22 = 3.05

change in quantity demanded  = 80 - 60 = 20

average of both demands = (80 + 60) /2 = 70

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/70 = 0.29

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $15 - $10 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $10) / 2 = 12.5

5/12.5 = 0.4

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: Mutually exclusive

Explanation:

In probability theory and logic, two propositions or events are disjoint or mutually exclusive if both events cannot occur at the same time. An example is the outcomes derived from the single toss of a coin which either be head or tail

In the project example given, the theory used is called mutually exclusive since both projects can not be chosen at the same time and it is only one project at w time. Mutually exclusive events are also called independent events since they have no effect on the viability of the other options.

Roman55 [17]

False, since both roles are in the capacity of research and does not compromise results. So there is no conflict of interest in research.

Conflicts of interest are situations in which professional judgments or actions regarding a primary concern, such as a medical researcher's responsibilities, may be easily persuaded by a secondary interest, such as monetary benefit or professional advancement.

Many doctors work full-time for biotech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as medical device manufacturers. They work in research, product development, or administration. In fact, a few of them own the businesses. This is not conflict of interest.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

correct option is b. $3,679,800

Explanation:

given data

offering = 130,000 shares

offer price = $38

underwriter spread = 8 percent

administrative costs = $865,000

solution

we get here Net proceeds from sale that is express as

Net proceeds = Gross proceeds - Underwriter's spread - Administrative costs ....................1

here Gross proceeds from sale is = offering share × offer price

Gross proceeds from sale is  = 130000 × $38

Gross proceeds from sale is  = $49,40,000

and Underwriter's spread will be offering share × offer price  × underwriter spread %

Underwriter's spread = $49,40,000 × 8%

Underwriter's spread = $3,95,200

so Net proceeds  will be

Net proceeds = $49,40,000 - $3,95,200 - $865,000

Net proceeds = $3,679,800

so correct option is b. $3,679,800
