Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price elasticity of demand = 0.5

Percentage increase in price = 8%

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Percentage\ change\ in\ price}

0.5 =  \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{8}

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.5 × 8

                                                                       = 4%

Therefore, if the price rises by 8% then as a result quantity demanded decreases by 4%.

Fallsview Glatt Kosher Caterers ran a business that provided travel packages, including food, entertainment, and lectures on rel
inessss [21]

Answer: The Contract is valid.

Explanation:

Under the UCC’s Statute of Frauds, transactions above $500 for goods cannot be made orally alone and have to be written in writing as well. This is the law that Rosenfield relied on.

However, Fallsview can argue that the Passover Retreat is not a Good, but rather a Service in which case it does not fall under the Statute.

The main bone of contention thereby becomes, if indeed it is a service or a good.

If it is a Hybrid of both, then the Court needs to decide if the services outweigh the goods involved.

From the text we see that the following were included in the package, food, entertainment, and lectures on religious subjects.

Food is the only good there and is outweighed by Entertainment and lectures on religious subjects.

As such, the contract is valid as it is for more service than good.
