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.

Most economists believe that prices are:
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: Most economist believe that prices are flexible in the long run but many are sticky in the short run.

Explanation:

Prices are sticky in the short run because producers and buyers take time to adapt to new situations. If there is a shortage of butter, lets say, the economic theory says that the prices will rise because there is less butter ( ceteris paribus = all the other factors remain constant). Actually, buyers and suppliers need time to adapt to the new situation. However, in the long run buyers and suppliers have time to adapt to new situations so prices become more flexible.

Answer:

NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40

Explanation:

The NPV or net present value is the present value of a project or business's cash flows which are calculated by deducting the cash outflows from the cash inflows. NPV is a tool or criteria used for investment and project appraisal. The NPV can be calculated as follows,

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ....  +  CFn / (1+r)^n   -   Initial Outlay

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
  • r represents the discount rate

NPV = 660 / (1+0.075)  +  [ -85 / (1+0.075)^2]  -  440

NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40
