Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Experiments regarding consumer behavior have shown that consumers usually expect a product to have a certain price that serves as a reference price that they use to determine if a retailer's price is high (more expensive than the reference price) or low (cheaper than the reference price).

It is normal (but unethical) that some retailers increase their prices a little before starting a sales campaign, since a higher reference price will make consumers believe that the offer is even better.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The only kind of market structure where the price is set by market forces and not the firms is pure competition. The firms in other market structures such as oligopoly, monopoly and monopolistic competition are price setters.  

The market for wheat is a pure competition as there is a large number of sellers who are producing identical products. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by market forces.
