Answer:
a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand
Explanation:
When there is recession the price of the factor goes down and with that, the insufficient demand for a certain good or services is eliminated. The reasoning is that the decrease in prices stimulates demand and adjust the market.
Keynes among other economist consider that unemployment increase during recessions because the nominal wages rate do not fall. As the union and worker do not want to see their wage decrease. Same is applied to prices which makes then inflexible in a downward direction.
While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"
Hece option A is the only one which is true
Price elasticity of demand is defined by Change in Quantity demanded / Change in Price.
Tom ordered 10 gallons of gas without asking about the price. This means that no matter the price, Tom orders the same quantity of gas (quantity demanded does not change with price). His demand is perfectly inelastic, or 0.
Jerry orders $10 worth of gas. This means that no matter how much it gives him, Jerry will pay $10. The price elasticity of demand depends on how much the price changes by.
For example, if price doubles from $5/gal to $10/gal, demand falls by 50% (2 gallons to 1 gallon), making his price elasticity -0.5
If the price increase 10% from $10/gal to $10.10/gal, demand falls 1% from 1 gal to .99 gallons, making his price elasticity -0.1
