Demand of a product is usually very sensitive to economic variables, such as the prices and consumer income. This responsiveness of demand is elasticity. Compute elasticity in the below scenarios: a. Yesterday, the price of envelopes was $3 a box, and Jacky was willing to buy 10 boxes. Today, the price has gone up to $3.75 a box, and Jacky is now willing to buy 8 boxes. Is Jacky's demand for envelopes elastic or inelastic? What is Jacky's elasticity of demand? b. Katy advertises to sell cookies for $4 a dozen. She sells 50 dozen, and decides that she can charge more. She raises the price to $6 a dozen and sells 40 dozen. What is the elasticity of demand? Assuming that the elasticity of demand is constant, how many would she sell if the price were $10 a box?
Consider an economy that consists only of those who bake bread and those who produce its ingredients. Suppose that this economy’s production is as follows: 1 million loaves of bread (sold at $2 each); 1.2 million pounds of flour (sold at $1 per pound); and 100,000 pounds each of yeast, sugar, and salt (all sold at $1 per pound). The flour, yeast, sugar, and salt are sold only to bakers, who use them exclusively for the purpose of making bread. a. What is the value of output in this economy (i.e., nominal GDP)? b. How much value is added to the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt when the bakers turn them into bread?
As investment with a 3year life and a cost of #120000 generates revenue of #25000 in year 1 #45000 in year 2 and #65000 in year 3. If the discount rate is 8% (i) what is the NPV of the investment. (ii) state whether the investment should be accepted or not and why. (iii) using 12% as your second discount rate, to solve the remaining part of the question under IRR.
John was discussing the market for cocoa beans with his friend Kim. John said, "Ever since Venezuela announced that its cocoa harvest was its lowest ever in fifteen years, the price of cocoa beans has been rising and rising and people are buying more and more. I think the demand for cocoa beans must be upward sloping." Is John’s reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.
