Answer:
C. eat more pizza and spend less on pizza than he did before the price decrease.
Explanation:
The inelastic means that when the elasticity is less than one
Since the demand for pizza is inelastic and the price of pizza decreases that would result in an increase in the quantity demanded of pizza.
Though the price of pizza decreases, the Pablo spend less than before as the price and the quantity demanded has an inverse relationship.
Answer:
Betsy should simply tell the truth: that the boat was actually inspected by two mechanics, but not only it was not repaired, but both mechanics had a very different diagnosis about what was wrong with the boat.
She should also warn the buyer that the boat likely needs at least a new fuel pump, and in case the diagnostic of the first mechanic (Gail) is true, the boat then would likely need an expensive repair.
Answer:
c. 12%; 15.7%
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
For expected rate of return:
= (Weightage of risky asset × return of risky asset) + (Weightage of treasury bill × return of treasury bill)
= (0.70 × 0.15) + (0.30 × 0.05)
= 10.5% + 1.5%
= 12%
For standard deviation:
= Weightage of risky asset × (variance ^ half)
= 0.70 × (0.05 ^ 0.5)
= 15.7%
Answer:
b. value-based pricing
Explanation:
Value based pricing is a pricing strategy to set price of products based on value perceived by the purchaser. To have increased profit margin, business deduces the number of benefit the product provides to consumer. Then it establishes price which takes consideration of manufacturing cost, competitive price and consumer's willingness to pay price for the goods.
In the question mentioned IKEA not only provide functional benefit for the product but also quality, design, and services at low prices hence it is an instance of value based pricing.
Answer:
5.657%
Explanation:
Data provided:
Face value = $1,000
Current market price = $640
Time of maturity, t = 8 year
Now,
the compounding formula is given as:
Face value = Current amount × 
where,
r is the rate i.e pretax rate of debt
n is the number of times the interest is compounded i.e for semiannual n = 2
thus, on substituting the values, we get
$ 1,000= $ 640 × 
or
1.5625 = 
or
= 1.0282
or
r = 0.05657
or
pretax cost of debt = 0.05657 × 100% = 5.657%
