Answer:

-2, compliments

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cross elasticity of demand is shown below:

Given that

(P1, Q1) = (7, 25)

(P2, Q2) =(5,50)

Now here we use the mid-point formula for determining the cross price elasticity  

= [(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (P2 - P1)} × [(P1 + P2) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)]

= [(50 - 25) ÷ (5 - 7)] × (5 + 7) ÷ [(25 + 50)]

= -2

Hence, the cross-price elasticity is -2

It is negative so these are complementary goods

Hence, the correct answer is -2, compliments

zmey [24]

Answer:

- Bradley has an exponential depreciation of 10.67 thousand per year.

- Spencer had an exponential increase of 14000 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of 2000:

Bradley, B = 220000

Spencer, S = 114000

At the beginning of 2003:

Bradley, B = 188000

Spencer, S = 156000

Variation for the 3 years:

Bradley, B = 188000 - 220000

= -32000

Spencer, S = 156000 - 114000

= 42000

For 1 year:

Bradley, B = 32000 ÷ 3

≈ An exponential depreciation of 10.67 thousand per year

Spencer, S = 42000 ÷ 3

= An exponential increase of 14000 per year.

How do you work the picture out?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

24cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle ABCF = 20 cm

One of the sides AB = 6 cm (AB)(Let it be L)

other side of Rectangle=B.

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 (Length + width)

20 = 2(L+W) = 2(6 + W)

\frac{20}{2}=6+B

10=6+B

B =  10-6

B = 4 cm

Width of Rectangle, W = 4 cm (BC)

Length of side of trapezium, CD = BD - BC = 9 - 4 = 5 cm

And length of EF = 3 cm

Area of Trapezium = \frac{1}{2}×(CD+EF)×CF

\frac{1}{2}×(5+3)×6

\frac{8}{2}×6

4×6=24
