Answer:

(B) 40%

Explanation:

↓Q / ΔPrice = Price-elasicity

The price elasticity is the relationship between a change in price with the quantity demanded of a certain good assuming, other factor remains constant.

ΔPrice  = (P0 - P1)/((P0 + P1)/2) = (2 - 6)/((2+6)/2) = 4/4 = 1

We know that price elasticity is 0.4

Now we can solve for the change in the quantity demanded:

↓Q/ 1 = 0.4

↓Q = 0.4 x 1 = 0.40 = 40%

27. Average cost curves (except for average fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curve
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Explanation: Both the marginal cost curve and the average variable cost curve are U-shaped. For many firms, this is true because their production exhibits increasing returns at low levels of output and decreasing returns at high levels of output. At the minimum of average cost, the marginal cost curve intersects the average cost curve. This is because when marginal cost is above average cost, average cost is decreasing and when marginal cost is below average cost, average cost is decreasing.
