Answer:

e_p ≅ -1.7.

Explanation:

Let's calculate the change in quantity:

\frac{Q_2 - Q_1}{\frac{Q_2+Q_1}{2} } = \frac{50-100}{\frac{50+100}{2} } = (approx.) -0.67.

Let's now calculate the change in price:

\frac{P_2 - QP_1}{\frac{P_2+P_1}{2} } = \frac{3.00-2.00}{\frac{3.00+2.00}{2} } = 0.40.

Finally, let's calculate the price elasticity of demand:

e_p = \frac{-0.67}{0.40} = (approx) -1.7.

Which one of the following choices best represents a potential stressor?
ryzh [129]
I would say that the most typical stressor here is an unexpected visit. Starting from you feeling uncomfortable about not preparing (dirty flat, etc), you might not want to meet those people and might feel stressed about how to tel them this.

The other options are potential "positive" surprises.

What two emerging factors after the war of 1812 contributed to the development of sctionalism
ElenaW [278]

Two emerging factors after the War of 1812 that contributed to development of sectionalism were "an increase in the number of men voting" and "the concept of manifest destiny," since both of these led to a more "aggressive" nation that was becoming more and more divided on how to exploit that aggression.

What does Neuwirth argue that the people in these communities need?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Informal communities need the guarantee that they will not be evicted from that space and have access to the policy.

Explanation:

In his book "Shadow Cities", Robert Neuwirth explains how, in the future, communities generated in an improvised manner, in spaces that are not legally considered urbanization, will be the most viable alternative, due to the high costs of private property, high unemployment rate, among others.

He argues that for these communities to be sustainable over time, it is necessary to guarantee that these people will not be evicted from this space, not necessarily with the current concept of private property since many times it has already been inaccessible for that sector of the population . They also need access to the policy, so that they can actively intervene in the improvement of their community, possibility to have access to resources, among others.
