Answer:
A) an increase in the price of other kinds of candy
Explanation:
If the price of substitute products (other types of candy) increases, then the suppliers of chewing gum can increase their price without the quantity demanded decreasing. If the decrease in the price of chewing gum is smaller than the increase in the price of substitute products, the quantity demanded will increase.
If there was a price increase of the main ingredients used to produce chewing gum, then the supply curve would shift to the left (option B is wrong).
If the workers signed an agreement that lowered their wages, then the supply curve would shift to the right (option C is wrong).
A decrease in the number of young people in the market would decrease the quantity demanded for chewing gum, which in turn would decrease the equilibrium price (option D is wrong).
A decrease in income would also decrease the quantity demanded, which would in turn decrease the equilibrium price (option E is wrong).
Answer: Average
Explanation:
<em>Economic principles are generalizations relating to </em><em><u>average</u></em><em> tendencies in economic behavior or to the economy itself.</em>
<em />
It is impossible to explain the individual choices people or companies make and yet it still needs to be done so that the economy can be studied and planned. For this reason economic principles use generalizations to study and explain the economy based on the behavior of the majority of people.
Essentially they are based on perceived rational tendencies of what is expected of people and firms. This is why some economic principles are supported by one group of economists and not by others. If the principles applied to all, it would not be the case.
Answer:
A. 104%
B. 66.7%
Explanation:
A. Calculation for what would be the percentage return earned
Percentage return =($50-$30-30*60%*7%)/30*60%
Percentage return(20-$18*.07)/18=
Percentage return=1.04*100
Percentage return=104%
Therefore what would be the percentage return earned is 104%
B. Calculation for What would have been the return if the investor had notbought the stock on margin
Percentage return=($50-$30)/$30
Percentage return=$20/$30
Percentage return=66.67 %
Percentage return=66.7% Approximately
Therefore What would have been the return if the investor had notbought the stock on margin is 66.7%
Incomplete question. The full question read;
Malcolm has several receipts from recent transactions that he entered into his records. The receipts include an ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit, a grocery store receipt for $25.50, and a paycheck deposit slip for $650.00.
When he finishes entering his transactions, Malcolm realizes that his balance is incorrect. Assuming that Malcolm had no beginning balance, what should his correct balance be?
Answer:
<u>$704.50</u>
Explanation:
First, we need to note which transactions are credit transactions, and which is a debit transaction. <em>Remember</em>, a<u> credit transaction</u> basically means a transaction that brings money into your account, while the latter is a transaction that takes money out of your account.
Malcolm's credit transactions:
- ATM receipt for an $80.00 deposit
- paycheck deposit slip for $650.00
Total: <u>$730.</u>
Malcolm's debit transactions:
- grocery store receipt for $25.50
Total: $25.50
Substracting total debit transactions from credit transactions, Malcolm's correct balance would be = $704.50 ($730-$25.50).
