Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The initial price of movie rentals is $3.25.

The initial quantity is 100.

The price falls to $3.

This causes demand to rise to 120.

The price elasticity of demand a ratio of change in quantity demanded to change in price level.

The elasticity is calculated at -2.25, through the process given in images.

The price elasticity of demand here is greater than 1 which means it is elastic.

So, option a is the correct answer.

aleksklad [387]

Answer: The answer is C.

The theory is based on the idea that resources are vital for organisational success and that access and control over resources forms the basis of power.
