Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. Assume that in 2015, an

auction house sold a statute at auction for a price of $10,710,500. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 2010 at a price of $12,738,500. What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture

Answer:

-3.41%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below;

We use the formula:

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years  

$10,710,500 = $12,738,500 × (1 + rate of interest)^5

($10,710,500 ÷ $12,738,500)^(1 ÷ 5) = (1 + rate of interest)

(1 + rate of interest) = 0.965913622

r = (0.965913622 - 1) × 100

= -3.41%

Your younger sister needs $50 to buy a new bike. She has opened a lemonade stand to make the money she needs. She currently is c
AleksandrR [38]

The correct answer is: "I would recommend her not to increase the price, because with an elastic demand function this will cause a great decrease in the quantity demanded by consumers".

The demand function represents the quantity of a certain good or service that consumers are willing to purchase in the market at different price levels. The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded (ceteris paribus, hence, given that the rest remains equal). <u>Therefore, when the price charged decreases, the amount that consumers are willing to purchase increases. </u>

In turn, the elasticity of the demand function measures the sensitiveness of the quantity demanded by consumers when there is a certain price change. If the demand function is elastic it means that a price variation would generate an even larger variation (in the inverse direction of course!) in the quantity demanded. <u>This is the case of the lemonade stand therefore the girl should not increase prices because this will not help her to reach her objective quicke</u>r, as she would loss a greater proportion of units sold than the size of the price increase that would have allowed her to earn more per unit.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

b. $20.

Explanation:

Regardless of what the break-even volume is, at this volume profits are zero.

This means that any unit sold beyond this point will provide a profit equivalent to its marginal benefit, which is its selling price subtracted by its variable cost.

If a product sells for $50 and has a variable cost of $30, by selling one unit in excess of its break-even volume, the profit will be:

P= \$50-\$30 =\$20

The profit will be $20.
