Answer: Her income elasticity of demand for cottage cheese is <em><u>0.3333</u></em> making it a <em><u>normal and necessary</u></em> good.

The income elasticity  of demand is given by :

\mathbf{YED = \frac{percentage change in demand}{percentage change in income}}

The percentage change in income is given as 60%. We calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as follows:

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{12-10}{10}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.2}\\

Substituting the value above in the income elasticity demand formula we get,

\mathbf{YED = \frac{0.20}{0.60}}

<u>YED = 0.33333</u>

Since the income elasticity is positive, and since Shawna buys more cottage cheese after an increase in income, we can classify this good as a normal good.

Since the income elasticity is between 0 and 1 we can also conclude that cottage cheese is also a essential good or a necessity.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

These statements would fit well in an apology letter:

  • Make a promise that it won't happen again - Putting the wrong date is a very serious and very strange mistake at the same time. It's strange because professionals usually do not make that kind of mistake, and it's serious because it can completely distort as schedule, as it happened in this case.
  • Apologize sincerely - again, as the mistake was serious and strange at the same time, an apology is necessary.
  • Accept responsability - accepting responsability for one's actions is not only the professional thing to do, but also the ethical thing to do.

And this statement is appropriate when presenting a bad newsletter:

  • If the reason or explanation is not confidential and will not create legal liability - giving out specific information in a corporate context can result in legal liabilities that potentially cost a lot of money, therefore, it is important to carefully choose one's words, while at the same time being honest with the reader.
