Answer: b. The cross-price elasticity is -5.33.

c. The goods are complements.

Explanation:

The cross elasticity of demand is used to measure how the percentage change of the quantity demanded for a particular good has an effect on the percentage change in the price of another good.

Based on the values given above, the cross elasticity of demand will be:

= [(3 - 6) / (17 - 15)] × [(15 + 17) / (6 + 3)]

= (-3/2) × (32/9)

= -1.5 × 3.56

= -5.33%

Since it's a negative value, the goods are complement.

The correct options are B and C.

Alla [95]

Answer:

a. is weak-form efficient

Explanation:

A weak-form efficient market postulates that the present price of a stock reflects previous all data from past prices.

It suggests that no technical analysis can be of help to the investor.

This implies that fundamental analysis using historical prices and data of a stock can be used to predict stocks that are overpriced or underpriced.

So researching a company's financial statements gives an edge on predicting today's stock price.

Investors can make abnormal profit
