Incomplete question. I answered from a general economic standpoint.
Answer:
<u>stay the same; decrease</u>
Explanation:
<em>Remember</em>, in this scenario, it wasn't as though the mentioned workers lost their jobs, they only had their hours reduced by their employers; so they are not <u>unemployed</u>. This, therefore, implies that the unemployment rate will stay the same.
The labor force participation rate in simple words refers to the percentage of those who are currently employed or looking for a job within an economy. If the working hours are reduced, it may diminish the zeal among the workforce of an economy to work or find work because <u>they may perceive they''ll earn less.</u>
Elastic.
This is
the formula for elasticity:
Elasticity
= (Quantity variation/Quantity)/(Price variation/Price)
Inelastic
demand is the one in which a variation in price doesn’t lead to an important
variation in the quantity bought by consumers. So, in the formula, numerator is
much smaller than denominator, so the fraction is lower than 1. That happens
with necessary goods (typically, food).
On the
contrary, elastic demand is the one in which a variation in the price leads to
an important variation in the quantity bought by consumers, and that means the
fraction is higher than 1. So if I sell the product at a lower price, I will
sell much more product.
Considering the formula:
R = P*Q, when demand is elastic,
I will
have much more sold quantity with just a little lower price, which leads to a higher
revenue.
