Answer: Group A
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.
The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.
Answer:
fixed cost per unit,
Explanation:
Fixed cost is cost that does not vary with output. It remains constant regardless of the units of output produced. An example of fixed cost is rent.
fixed cost per unit = fixed cost / output
Let us assume that rent (fixed cost) is $500. When output is 1 unit, fixed cost per unit = $500 / 1 = $500
when output is 2 units, fixed cost per unit = $500 / 2 = $250
when output is 10 units , fixed cost per unit = $500 / 10 = $50
Answer:
b. inelastic
c. Yes - it decreased
Explanation:
Elasticitiy of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.
Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price
= -2/4 = -0.5
The absolute value is 0.5
If the absolute value of the coffiecnet of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.
Demand is inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded .
We can tell that the quantity demanded fell because of the negative sign in front of the percentage change in quantity demanded.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
(a) 5
(b) $150 million
(c) 45 million
Explanation:
(a) Multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC
)
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.8
)
= 1 ÷ 0.2
= 5 ⇒ the value of the simple multiplier is 5.
b) If the autonomous expenditure is increased by $30 million then the total output will increase by:
= $30 million × 5
= $150 million
c) If the Marginal propensity to import is 0.3 then the import will increase by:
= 150 × 0.3
= 45 million
