Answer:

-0.578 and inelastic

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded would be

= Q2 - Q1

= 90,000 - 100,000

= 10,000

And, average of quantity demanded is

= (90,000 + 100,000) ÷ 2

= 95,000

Change in price would be

= P2 - P1

= $12,000 - $10,000

= $2,000   0.1052  0.1818

And, average of price is

= ($10,000 + $12,000) ÷ 2

= $11,000

So, after solving this, the price is -0.578

This reflects the inelastic for diamond rings

g A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income: Group of answer choices will be risk neutral will be risk averse will
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Risk averse

Explanation:

A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income will derive less utility from income as income increases. A risk averse person is one who would rather avoid risk but still prefers a high income.

Such a person will have a diminishing marginal utility in income because income increases more when there is more risk. A risk averse person does not want that risk and so will go for a lower income which means that they don't want more income as it is riskier to them.

If the price level increases by 0.2 percent for every $100 billion increase in the money supply, by how much might prices rise i
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3%

Explanation:

Increase in money supply ($ billion) = Increase in reserves / Reserve ratio

Increase in money supply ($ billion) = 150 / 0.1

Increase in money supply ($ billion) = 1,500

Increase in price level = (Increase in money supply / 100) * 0.2

Increase in price level = (1,500/100) * 0.2

Increase in price level = 3%
