Answer:

Missing word <em>"a. What must the six-month risk-free rate be in Japan"</em>

<em />

a. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 1.2377 Aus.dollar

Forward rate = 1 US $ = 1.2356 Aus.dollar

<u>1.2356</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>

1.2377     (1 + 0.05)

0.9983 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad

1.048215 = 1 + i.Ad

i.Ad = 1.048215 - 1

i.Ad = 0.048215

i.Ad = 4.82%

b. Spot rate = 1 US $ = 100.3300 Japan Yen

Forward rate = 1 US $ = 100.0500 Japan Yen

<u>100.0500</u> = <u>(1 + i Ad)</u>

100.3300     (1 + 0.05)

0.9972 * (1.05) = 1 + i.Ad

1.04706 = 1 + i.Ad

i.Ad = 1.04706 - 1

i.Ad = 0.04706

i.Ad = 4.71%

A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers. Group A has an elasticity of demand of​ 0.2, B has an elasticity of demand o
Bumek [7]

Answer:  Group A

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.

The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

$10.10

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay of a consumer - price of the good

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of the product and the least price the producer is willing to sell his product

Producer surplus = price of the product - least price the producer is willing to sell his product

Consumer surplus

Jeff :  $7.25 - $5 = $2.25

Samir: $9 - $5 = $4

Total consumer surplus = $2.25 + $4 = $6.25

Producer surplus

Ist manufacturer = $5 - $3 = $2

2nd manufacturer = $5 - $3.15 = $1.85

Total producer surplus = $2 + $1.85 = $3.85

Total social welfare = $3.85 + $6.25 = $10.10
