The short-run price elasticity of demand will be inelastic and the short-run price elasticity of supply will be inelastic.

Elasticity of demand measures the relationship that exists between price and quantity demanded.

Elasticity of supply measures how quantity supplied changes when there is a change in the price of a good.

<u><em>Types of elasticity.</em></u>

  1. Elastic demand (supply): This means that demand (supply) is sensitive to price changes
  2. Inelastic demand (supply): this means that demand (supply) does not respond to price changes. The coefficient of elasticity is less than one.
  3. Unit elastic demand (supply): demand (supply) changes in equal proportion. The coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.

<em><u>Factors that affect elasticity </u></em>

  1. The number of substitutes the good has: the more substitutes the good has, the more elastic demand is.  
  2. The length of time: demand (supply) is inelastic in the short run. In the short run, producers (consumers) do not have enough time to find suitable substitutes.  In the long run, producers would have more time to search for suitable substitutes or shift to the production of other goods when compared with the short-run.
  3. Ease of entry or exit into an industry: the more easy it is for firms to enter into an industry, the more elastic supply would be.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

e. $153,156

Explanation:

From 9/1/14, he needs $50,000 every year for 4 years to fund the tuition fees. Therefore, present value of the amount needed at 9/1/14 using the Present value of annuity due formula

= 50,000 * {1+ (1/(1.05)^4) } / 0.05 * (1.05)

= $186,162

$186,162 is the amount needed after 4 years. Amount you need to invest today to have this amount in four years = $186,162/(1.05)^4 = $186,162/1.21550625 = $153,156.40

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A. The seller would be primarily liable.

Explanation:

Subject to basis is a form of home buying options in real estate. It is a situation where the buyer takes over existing loan of a seller and make commitment to seller to continue repaying the loan to the lender.

Though the buyer will taken over the loan from the seller and make repayment to the lender, there is no legal obligation on buyer`s part that makes him/her liable to the lender. The seller still remain liable despite the the taking over. So  option A is right while B to D is wrong because it`s only the seller that is primarily liable to the lender.

Suppose that real GDP per capita of the United States is $32,000 and its growth rate is 2% per year and that real GDP per capita
Andrej [43]

Answer:

40 years

Explanation:

Given:

Per capita GDP of United states = $32,000

Per capita GDP of China = $4,000

Growth rate of United states = 2%

Growth rate of China = 7%

Now, By the rule of 70 , the GDP will double in \frac{\textup{70}}{\textup{Growth rate}} years

Therefore,

The United States GDP will double in = \frac{\textup{70}}{\textup{2}}  = 35 years

Thus,

The GDP of united states in 35 years will be (2 × $32,000 ) = $64,000

this is equals to the 16 times the current GDP of the China

Now,

The China GDP will double in = \frac{\textup{70}}{\textup{7}} = 10 years

Therefore,

The GDP of china will be

2 × $4,000 in 10 years   = $8,000

in 20 years  = 2 × $8,000 = $16,000  ( i.e 4 times)

in 30 years  = 2 × $16,000 = $32,000  ( i.e 8 times)

in 40 years  = 2 × $32,000 = $64,000  ( i.e 16 times)

Hence, it will take 40 years for China to catch up with the united states
