Answer:

d. The percentage of Indiana residents with a college degree rises from 25% to 30%

Explanation:

Economic growth can be defined as an increase in the gross domestic product of a country over time.

Economic growth can be caused by increase in capital, technological advancement, education and labour.

The endogenous growth model posits that education can be a factor causing economic growth as it leads to diffusion of knowledge.

If the Midwest suffers a drought, production would be hampered and GDP would likely fall.

Rising unemployment is a sign of a fall in production.

If firms spend less on real investment, capital would fall and GDP would fall.

I hope my answer helps you

One of the more important business applications of demand elasticity is the relationship between price and total revenue. For ea
user100 [1]

Answer:

Part 1.  inelastic.

Part 2. inelastic.

Part 3. inelastic.

Explanation:

When the coefficient of elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic, when it is equal to 1, demand is unitary elastic, when it is greater than 1, demand is elastic, and when it is equal to zero demand is perfectly inelastic.

Part 1

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

  Where : dQ = Change in Quantity

               dP = Change in Price

                 P = Initial or Old price

                 Q = Initial of Old Quantity

               dQ = $35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000

                dP = $10 - $8 = $2

                  P = $8  

                  Q = $40,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$5,000/$2) * $8/ $40,000

                       = 2,500 * 1/5000 = -0.5

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 2

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $1,800 - $2,000 = - $200

                dP = $50 - $40  = $10

                  P = $40

                  Q = $2,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$200/$10) * $40/ $2,000

                       = 20 * 0.02 = -0.4

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 3

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $120 - $150 = - $30

                dP = $5 - $4  = $1

                  P = $4

                  Q = $150

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$30/$1) * $4/ $150

                       = 30 * 2/75 = - 0.8

Disregard the minus sign  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

You survey 100 customers. You ask a question with 4 possible responses. Each possible response is given by at least 10 customers
finlep [7]

There are 100 people and 4 answers. The minimum people for each answer is 10. You can distribute the minimum people to make it easy.

Answer 1. 10 people

Answer 2. 10 people

Answer 3. 10 people

Answer 4. 10 people

There are still 60 people that are not assigned, so you take this number and add it to the minimum.

60 + 10 = 70


Answer: The maximum number of customers giving any one response is 70 people.

As price elasticity of supply increase the supply curve?​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

As price elasticity of supply increase the supply curve will be closer to the horizontal axis thus shallower.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply can be defined as a measure of how much the price of a good or service changes with a corresponding change in the supply of that specific good or service. This means that a good or service can be described as either elastic or inelastic depending on how it's price and supply parameters behave. Inelastic goods are those goods whose price change with reference to their supply do not change much. These goods are sometimes referred to as essentials since people tend to buy them even if the prices are high. On the other hand, elastic goods are those ones whose price fluctuates depending on the supply. These goods are called luxuries, since people buy them only when their prices are low, and avoid them when the price rises.

The price elasticity of supply can be determined using the expression below;

E=%Q/%P

where;

E=elasticity of supply

%Q=percentage change in quantity supplied

%P=percentage change in the price for the corresponding changes in quantity supplied

The supply curve generally represents changes in price verses the changes in quantity supplied. The price is plotted on the left vertical axis, against a corresponding quantity supplied on the horizontal axis.

A product that has more price elasticity of supply will cause the supply curve to be shallower: closer to the horizontal axis. On the other hand a product with less elastic supply will make the supply curve to be steeper: closer to the vertical.

Jonathan Crowley is a portfolio manager for a large pension fund. Last year his portfolio had an actual return of 12.6% with a s
ycow [4]

Answer:

The required rate of return of the portfolio is 13.62%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors require to invest in a stock or portfolio. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM formula for required rate of return. The formula is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • beta is the stock/portfolio's beta or measure of risk
  • rpM is the risk premium on market

r = 5.82% + 1.3 * 6%

r = 0.1362 or 13.62%
