uppose the annual demand function for the Honda Accord is Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PGwhere PA and PC are the prices of the

Accord and the Toyota Camry respectively (in thousands), and PGis the price of gasoline (per gallon). What is the elasticity of demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry when both cars sell for $20,000 and fuel costs $3 per gallon? What is the elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline?

Answer:

Qd = 400 units

elasticity of demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry = 0.5

elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline = -0.075

Explanation:

Solution:

The annual demand function for the Honda Accord is:

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Where,

PA = Price of Honda Accord

PC = Price of Honda Camry

PG = Price of Gasoline per gallon.

Selling Price of both cars = $20,000

Fuel Cost = $3 per gallon.

a) Elasticity of Demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry.

First, we need to calculate the number of units demanded.

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Qd = 430 – 10 (20) + 10 (20) – 10 (3.00)

Qd = 430 - 200 + 200 - 30

Qd = 430 - 30

Qd = 400 units

Cross-price elasticity of the Accord with respect to the price of the Camry will be:

Cross Price = (dQd/dPC) x (PC)/(Qd)

dQd/dPC = 10

PC = 20

Qd = 400

So,

Cross Price = 10* 20/400

Cross Price  = 0.5

b) Elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline?

Elasticity =  (dQd/dPG)*(PG/Qd)

dQd/dPG = -10

PG = 20

Qd = 400

Elasticity  = (-10)*(3/400)

Elasticity  =  -0.075

Maslowich

Answer:

The correct answer is:

I trust you to be able to accomplish this task (C)

Explanation:

First of all, you have to know the meaning of the word competence, and competence is a collection of related relevant abilities, know-how and skills required to act effectively on a job or situation. Which is a clear message passed by the speaker in the statement "I trust you to be able to accomplish this task", because the speaker knows that his team member possesses the right skills to carry out a task successfully.

The statement in option D ( "I trust you to do the right thing." ) also tells a little about competence because one of the definitions of competence highlights being sane, and one needs to be sane to do the right thing, but it is only second choice when compared to the statement in option "C".

Next time when you are faced with this kind of question, identify the keyword ( which in this case is competence), and use that to answer the question.

Suppose that you invest $100 today in a risk-free investment and let the 6 percent annual interest rate compound. What will be t
Kipish [7]

Solution :

It is given that :

Amount of investment or the principle amount , P = $ 100

Time of investment , t = 6 years

Rate of interest compounded annually r = 6 %

Therefore the future amount of this investment in a 6 year time is given by,

$FV=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t

$FV=100(1+\frac{6}{100})^6

$FV=100(1+0.06)^6

$FV= 100 (1.4185)$

$FV=141$

Therefore, after 6 years the investment of $ 100 will give an amount of $ 141.

mina [271]

Answer:

d. a monopoly firm reducing its price in an attempt to maintain its monopoly.

Explanation:

In a competitive system, a firm practices predatory pricing when it charges prices below its costs in order to eliminate competitors. When the prevailing system is a monopoly, the firm is the only company providing the good and it can practice predatory pricing in the short term to prevent a competitor from entering the market. Thus the firm remains monopolistic.

True [87]

The price of the share would be calculated as -

Price of share = Annual constant dividend / Cost of equity

Given, cost of equity = 10.5 %

Annual constant dividend = $ 1.60

Price of share = $ 1.60 ÷ 10.50 %

Price of share = $ 15.238 or $ 15.24
