zaharov [31]

Answer:

13x ÷ 760 - 13x

Explanation:

The compuatation is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Price per cookie = X

And, the quantity of cookies sold is

q = D(x) = 760 - 13x

Based on the above information, the price elasticity of demand equal to 1 is

We have to use the derivative

D'x = -13

zvonat [6]

Answer:

(i) $240, (ii) will buy, (iii) will not buy, (iv) True

Explanation:

(i)

Actuarially fair price = 2% of $12,000

                             = (2 / 100) * $12,000

                             = $240

(ii)

will buy insurance because now the price of insurance is $240 which was $2,880(i.e 72000 × 4% ) previously for drivers with $56,000 in the bank i.e now the price of insurance is reduced so the drivers will buy the insurance.

will not buy insurance because now the price of insurance is $240 which was $140 (i.e 3,500 × 4%) previously for drivers with 3,500 in the bank i.e now the price of the insurance is increased so the drivers will not buy.

True because at the actuarially fair price of $240, the drivers with $3,500 in bank will not voluntarily purchase the insurance.
