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.

Explanation:

the duration of the perpetuity = (1+YTM)/YTM

the weights of the bonds = w

5*w + 26*(1-w) = 15

21*w =  11

w = 0.52

Therefore, The 52 of its portfolio should be allocated to the zero-coupon bonds to immunie if there are no other assets funding the plan.
