Answer:

2.2

Explanation:

The formula for calculating price elasticity using the midpoint method is:

midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

midpoint method = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} / {(1.20 - 1) / [(1.20 + 1) / 2]}

midpoint method = [50 / (250 / 2)] / [0.20 / (2.20 / 2)] = (50 / 125) / (0.20 / 1.1)  

midpoint method = 0.4 / 0.19 = 2.2

The advantage of using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity is that we can calculate the price elasticity between two points, and it doesn't matter if the price increases or decreases.

If we calculate price elasticity using the single point formula:

price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price = 50% / 20% = 2.5

Sally and Dan must pay 2 points on their new $65,000 loan. What will they have to pay at closing for the points?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

correct option is B. $1,300

Explanation:

given data

loan = $65,000

pay = 2 points

solution

As we know normally point worth = 1%

and they pay 2 point so that

2 point = 2 % = 0.02

so pay at closing for the points will be

pay closing for the points = 0.02 × loan amount .....................1

pay closing for the points = 0.02 × $65000

pay closing for the points = $1300

so correct option is B. $1,300

If the price of product x rises, then the resulting decline in the amount purchased will:_____.
MissTica

If the price of product x rises, then the resulting decline in the amount purchased will<u> increase the marginal utility of this good.</u>

The difference in overall utility that results from consuming one extra unit of a good is known as marginal utility. Economists utilize the idea of marginal utility to estimate the quantity of a good that consumers will buy.

When the overall utility is increased by the consumption of an additional item, positive marginal utility occurs. On the other side, negative marginal utility arises when the overall utility is reduced by the consumption of one extra unit. Progressive taxation are frequently defended using the law of diminishing marginal utility.

Negative, zero, or positive marginal utility are all possible.

Hence, option B is the correct answer
