The endowment effect<span>, in behavioral finance<span>, portrays a situation in which an individual qualities
something that they officially possess more than something that they don't yet
claim. Studies have indicated over and again that individuals will esteem

Answer: Jimmy's Peanut Farm has to decrease its prices by 2.5% in order to achieve a 1% increase in the quantity of peanuts it sells.
Jimmy's Peanut Farm can increase the quantity sold by 1% only when the demand for peanuts increases. Demand for peanuts will increase only when the price of peanuts decrease. The Price Elasticity of Demand measures the responsiveness of demand to a percentage change in price.
The formula for Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is given by the formula:
We have:
Percentage increase in quantity 1% or 0.01
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) 0.40
Re-arranging the PED formula above we get,
Substituting the values in the equation above we get,
Answer: 7.46%
Explanation:
The CAPITAL ASSET PRICING MODEL is a very useful tool for calculating a firm's Cost of Equity.
The Formula is,
Rc = Rrf + b(Rpm)
Where,
Rc is the Cost of Equity
Rpf is the Risk risk free rate
b is beta
Rpm is the risk premium
Plugging in the digits we have,
Rc = 0.0350 + 0.88(0.045)
= 0.0746
The firm's cost of equity from retained earnings based on the CAPM is therefore 7.46%
