Answer:

3

Explanation:

We are asked to use the midpoint formula.

Here, instead of dividing the change in values by the old value as in the normal elasticity calculation, we use the average of the two.

Mathematically:

Price elasticity of demand according to midpoint formula is :

{Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2] × 100%} ÷ {[P2 - P1/ (P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100}

Price changed from 5 to 7. The midpoint of 5 and 7 is the average = (5+7)/2 = 6

% change in price in this case is (7-5)/6 * 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

% change in quantity:

We first find the average = (12+4)/2 = 16/2 = 8

% change = (4-12)/8 * 100 = -100%

The elasticity of demand is thus -100/33.33 = 3

Answer:

F(t)=f(t)+g(t) represents the TOTAL revenue at time t.

Explanation:

f(t) is the revenue at the time t at the first restaurant.

g(t) is the revenue at the time t at the second restaurant.

If we want to know the TOTAL revenue at the time t, we would sum these quantities:

TOTAL revenue = f(t)+g(t)

So F(t)=f(t)+g(t) represents the TOTAL revenue at time t.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Correct option is B

The Federal Reserve is worried about unemployment

Explanation:

We know from phillips curve, there is a backwards connection between swelling rate and joblessness rate. Hence joblessness rate can be diminished by expanding expansion which should be possible by expanding cash supply.  

Or then again an expansion in cash supply will diminish loan fee prompting increment in venture and subsequently increasingly capital development, because of which more work is required and therefore joblessness diminishes.
