The answer is false. The role of entrepreneurs is accounted by economic models. They are directly connected with the consumers and have firsthand information about the things that they would like. Entrepreneurs play a big role to ensure that businesses circulate.
Answer:
The answer is C. decrease the number of skis sold
Explanation:
This satisfies the popular law of demand which states that other things being equal, the higher the price the lower the quantity demanded and vice-versa.
Ski lift is a normal good which also satisfies the law of demand. The elasticity of demand is elastic meaning 1% increase in price will lead to a significant decrease in quantity demanded.
Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
Answer:
C. Movement to the left along a given aggregate demand curve
Explanation:
Demand is the quantity of a good or service consumers are willing to buy at a given price over a given period of time. Price and demand tend to have a negative relationship. As price of a product increases, demand decreases as it is now more expensive and less affordable. On the other hand, when price decreases, demand increases as it is now cheaper than before.
To answer the question, as the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded falls, hence causing the leftward movement along the demand curve. A fall in price on the other hand, will cause a rightward movement along the demand curve.
Any other factor other than price such as a change in population, availability of substitutes and price of complementary products can cause a shift in the demand curve. If the factor is favorable, it causes a right-hand shift and if it is unfavorable, it causes a left-hand shift.
