Answer:

PED = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

  • % change in quantity demanded = [(30 - 50) / 50] x 100 = -40%
  • % change in price = [($24 - $12) / $12] x 100 = 100%

PED = -40% / 100% = -0.4 or |0.4| in absolute terms

the demand is price inelastic since |0.4| < 1

this means that the change in quantity demanded is proportionally less than the change in price.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

confused

Explanation:

The goods whose demand decreases in the market when the consumer income rises are known as inferior goods.

The goods whose demand increases in the market when the consumer income rises are known as normal goods.

Thus, the reasoning of the student is confused as the classification of the goods on the basics of normal or inferior depends on response of the demand when there is a change in consumer's income. Thus, the student's own perception about such classification is confused.

An economy has $10 trillion in consumption, $2.5 trillion in investment, $3 trillion in government purchases, $1 trillion in exp
barxatty [35]

Answer:

$15 trillions

Explanation:

The computation of the GDP is shown below:

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports

where,  

Consumption = $10 trillions

Investment = $2.5 trillions

Government purchase = $3 trillions

Net exports = Exports - imports

= $1 trillion - $1.5 trillion

= -$0.5 trillion

So, the GDP would be

= $10 trillions + $2.5 trillions + $3 trillions - $0.5 trillions

= $15 trillions

= 13.5 trillions

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The net income is $150,500 and the return on assets is 20.06 %

Explanation:

The formula for computing net income and return on assets is shown below and the computation is also made.

Net income =  Sales revenue × Profit margin

                   = $2,150,000 × 7%

                   = $150,500

Return on assets = Net income ÷ total assets

                            = $150,500 ÷ $750,000

                            = 0.2006

                            = 20.06 %

Thus, the net income is $150,500 and the return on assets is 20.06 %
