Answer and Explanation:
An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.
3-2/2 X 100 = 50%
The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666
The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67
Answer:
The expected return of the portfolio is 12.8%
Explanation:
A portfolio is invested 22% on stock G, 50% on stock J and 28% on stock K.
The expected return on stock G is 7%, on stock J is 13% and on stock K is 17%.
Weighted return on stock G
= 0.22*7%
=1.54%
Weighted return on stock J
=0.50*13%
=6.5%
Weighted return on stock K
=0.28*17%
=4.76%
The expected return on the portfolio
=Weighted return on stock G+Weighted return on stock J+Weighted return on stock K
=(1.54+6.5+4.76)%
=12.8%
Hello!
I don't really understand the question.. Sorry if this doesn't help!

Answer:
C. 25.5%
Explanation:
Net operating cashflow = (250,000 - 100,000) = 150,000; This is a recurring cashflow; the PMT
Cost of equipment; the PV = 400,000
Next, calculate the rate of return using Net operating cashflow per year and the equipment cost. You can do this with a financial calculator;
N =5
PMT = 150,000
FV = 0
PV = -400,000
then CPT I/Y = 25.41%
Therefore the return is closest to 25.5%
