Answer:

Part 1 : -7.6

Part 2: 15.2%

Part 3: Orange County

Explanation:

Part 1. Price Elasticity:

The formula for Price Elasticity is:

Price Elasticity = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

So,

We need percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded in order to solve for price elasticity of demand in San Bernardino County.

So,

As we know that,

In San Bernardino County, the median price rose 1.5% to $340,000 and sales fell 11.4%.

Hence,

The Percentage Change in Price = 1.5

The Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -11.4

Just Plugging in these values in the Price Elasticity formula, we get:

Price Elasticity of Demand = -11.4 / 1.5

Price Elasticity of Demand = -7.6

Part 2: Condition Given: If Price increased by 2%

So,

In this we are asked to find the percentage change in quantity demanded.

Therefore, we will use the same formula of Plasticity of demand.

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

Making Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded as subject:

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = Price Elasticity multiplied by the percentage change in price.

Here,

Percentage Change in price = 2%

Price Elasticity of Demand = -7.6

Just plugging in these values in to the formula:

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -7.6 x 2

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -15.2

Therefore, Holding the price elasticity of demand constant, sales in San Bernardino County would fall by _15.2_% if prices increased by 2%.

Part 3:

To solve this part, first we need to understand the law of demands:

Law of demands says that the relationship of change in price and change in quantity demanded is inversely proportional keeping all other factors constant. So, if price goes high, quantity demanded will go down and vice versa.

And here,

In _Orange__ County, the law of demand appears to be violated.

Your company issued 1,000, 3.8% bonds (face value of each bond is $1,000) at 101.8250 on July 1st, 2019. The bonds are due on Ju

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

In this problem, 3.8% coupon bearing bond of $1,000 each has been issued. Total 1000 bonds are issued. Each has been issued at 101.8250%. So total amount realized on issue is $1,018,250. It is the value of bond calculated at market rate. Value of a bond is the sum of the present value of cash flows. Here bond has 5 years duration. Interest is paid semiannually. So after every six month, interest payable is -

Calculate present value of 10 such semiannual payment plus principal amount payable at the end of 5th year. Add them. The amount will be current issue price of bond.

So premium amount at the time of issue is-

This premium will be amortized in 5 years period along with each semi annual interest payment is made. So on maturity, no premium amount will be left.

Here amortization will be made at effective rate. Here effective rate will mean market rate. It is 3.4% i.e. 1.7% semi annually. This effective rate is applied on carry balance of bond. Carry balance of bond is nominal value of bond plus unadjusted portion of premium.

Consider the table below. It shows calculation of effective interest rate. First effective rate is 1.7% on carry value of $1,018,250. It is $17,310. But interest actually payable is $19,000. So difference is amortized portion of premium. It is-

This amortized portion will reduce premium balance. So effective carry value of bond in the book will be

Second semiannual effective interest will be 1.7% on $1,016,560. This process will continue for 10 such semi-annual payments. Thus after 10 payments, premium account will have zero balance. Only $1,000,000 balance will appear in 3.8% bond account. It will be finally paid off by debit in 3.8% bond account and credit in cash account.

Which items are characteristic of a credible website? Select all that apply.

Serggg [28]

The answer is 4. The website ends in .gov.


Domain names such as .com, .net etc can be purchased by anyone and does not signify credibility of a website.

However, some web addresses such as .edu and .gov are reserved for educational and government institutions only.

This can clearly tell you about the reliability and the authority of the website.

Other options mentioned above such as (c) sign or a website selling law services, would not really be indicators of reliability since anyone can forge these.

Which of the following actions has NO impact on your credit score?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

When you inquire about a credit card charge, then it has no impact on your credit score. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A". Nowhere around the world can there be any rules that can deduct the credit rating of a person for inquiring about a credit card charge. It would be absolutely ridiculous.

Suppose that consumers' incomes increased, such that more video games were demanded at each price level. After the increase in d

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

After the increase in demand, the new equilibrium price is $160, where both supply and demand equal 300.

Explanation:

When the income level of customers increases, the demand curve shifts to the right, increasing the quantity demanded at every price level.

If the quantity demanded for a good increases as its customers' income increases, it is called a normal good.

In this case, the previous equilibrium quantity was 200 units and the equilibrium price was $50. Since the demand curve shifted to the right, both the quantity demanded increased from 200 units to 300, and the equilibrium price increased from $50 to $160.
