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

McCulloch v. Maryland represented a power struggle between the State and Federal law. It was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. The state of Maryland had attempted to impede operation of a branch of the Second Bank of the United States by imposing a tax on all notes of banks not chartered in Maryland. Though the law, by its language, was generally applicable to all banks not chartered in Maryland, the Second Bank of the United States was the only out-of-state bank then existing in Maryland, and the law was recognized in the court's opinion as having specifically targeted the U.S. Bank.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The only kind of market structure where the price is set by market forces and not the firms is pure competition. The firms in other market structures such as oligopoly, monopoly and monopolistic competition are price setters.  

The market for wheat is a pure competition as there is a large number of sellers who are producing identical products. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by market forces.
