Answer:
Consider the following explanation
Explanation:
a) J. Crew is issuing its catalogs monthly in response to inflation. This will incur cost and it is known as 'Menu Cost'.
b) Grandpa has bought annuity which has promised $10,000 a year for the rest of his life. However, higher than expected inflation means grandpa has lesser purchasing power. This is loss of purchasing power and also 'redistribution cost'. In higher inflation borrower tends to get benefit. Here insurance company is at the gain.
c) Maria is witnessing loss of purchasing power because of hyper inflation. In such scenario, cost keeps rising and product's price could be higher a few hours later. This was witnessed in Germany as well as in Zimbabwe. People run to the stores as soon as they get cash or salary. It is known as 'shoe leather cost'. People make frequent trips to banks or stores but do not keep cash in fear of losing value.
d) Gita actually earned only 5% on her portfolio but as her income is in taxable bracket so she has to pay 20% tax. Her income from portfolio not even compensated inflation. This is a redistribution cost and also known as fiscal drag. More people fall into bracket because higher nominal income but real income is neglected which makes people worse off.
e) Father thinks that son is earning far more than him but inflation over the period of time erodes purchasing power and it could be possible that current income might be lower, same or higher comparing to inflation data. However, if it is lower then it is obviously loss of purchasing power.

Answer: (b) -3.08
Explanation:
The relationship between the demand(q), price per unit product(p) and the disposable income,yd is given by the expression below;
q= 20ln(7yd-2p).
From the expression above, the marginal demand,
∂ q/∂ p is the differential of the equation of relationship between the demand, price and disposable income.
This involves considering the demand,q as the dependent variable and the price per unit product,p as the independent variable and the disposable income,yd is considered constant.
Therefore ,
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷(7yd-2p)
By substitution of
yd =$3000÷1000= $3
and p= $4
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷((7×$3)-(2×$4))
∂ q/∂ p= -40÷13= 3.08
Please see the attachment for knowledge on how ∂ q/∂ p was obtained.
