Answer:
The answer is -0.5
Explanation:
I will attach a jpg file explaining the procedure used in obtaining the answer. I used the midpoint formula to calculate for percentage change in Quantity and Price, before calculating the Price-elasticity coefficient.
Answer:
A) Higher income taxes will cause a decrease in disposable income and this will affect personal expenditure which will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift leftwards ( decrease in price level and real GDP )
B)
i) Change in input price
ii) Change in production cost
iii) Increase in labor supply or increase in capital stocks
Explanation:
A) Effects of higher income taxes on aggregate demand curve
i) Higher income taxes will cause a decrease in disposable income and this will affect personal expenditure which will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift leftwards ( decrease in price level and real GDP )
B) The factors that will cause the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift
a) Change in input price
b) Change in production cost
c) Increase in labor supply or increase in capital stocks
Sum of all costs to individuals in society, regardless of whether the costs are borne by those who produce the products or consume the product
Answer:
We can assume companies form country A export to country B. Country B's economy is very large and many domestic and foreign firms compete in it. High levels of competition will eventually lower the costs of products sold in a market, so the products sold in Country B have relatively low prices.
In order for foreign companies to compete in country B's market they must have low prices. So companies from country A will sell its products in country B at low prices, increasing the possibility that the price of their exports are lower than their domestic prices (prices for their own country). Therefore the chance for a dumping accusation increases.
Answer:
a) Portfolio ABC's expected return is 10.66667%.
Explanation:
Some information is missing:
Stock Expected Standard Beta
return deviation
A 10% 20% 1.0
B 10% 10% 1.0
C 12% 12% 1.4
The expected return or portfolio AB = (1/2 x 10%) + (1/2 x 10%) = 10% (it is the same as the required rate for stock A or B)
The expected return or portfolio ABC = (weight of stock A x expected return of stock A) + (weight of stock B x expected return of stock B) + (weight of stock C x expected return of stock C) = (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 12%) = 3.333% + 3.333% + 4% = 10.667% <u>THIS IS CORRECT</u>
Options B, C, D and E are wrong.
