The answer is : The demand is elastic.
Elasticity =
[(80,000 - 180,000)/((80,000+180,000)/2)]/[($40 - $30)/(($40 + $30)/2)]|
[(-100,000/130,000)]/[(10/55)] = -.7692/.1818= -4.23
The answer is -4.23, however when considering own price elasticity of demand, we ignore the negative sign and look at the absolute value to determine whether it is elastic or inelastic.
<span>During times of economic trouble, which are immigrants often accused of?
Taking jobs away from native-born residents. During economic trouble, immigrant are often accused on taking jobs away from native-born residents because they are typically cheaper to hirer for the same job. Immigrants often work harder as well by nature because they need to prove themselves (as they think) to keep their jobs and create a profitable life in America. This makes it hard for native-born residents to keep their jobs since the immigrants will do the same amount of work for less wage. </span>
I believe the answer is:
a. cost curves to shift upward
