Answer:

Demand for home repair and building supply is INCOME ELASTIC

Explanation:

One reason why many ethical home repair and building supply businesses continue to charge pre-hurricane prices to their customers, even though due to the huge increase in demand they could charge much more. These firms probably recognize that demand for home repair and building supply is INCOME ELASTIC.

Although there was no direct fall in income however the loss of property means a negative impact on already earned income. Hence charging higher prices because of higher demand will be a misunderstanding of the income elasticity of demand.

New shoes are on SALE. You find a pair you like for $85 dollars. But you only have $45 with you. So, you pay $40 and charge the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

$46.8

Explanation:

The shoe is worth $85. You pay a deposit of $40. The balance is $45.

So $45  is charged at 8% interest for six months.

Simple interest I= p x r x t

In this case, p is $45,

r is 8%

t= 6 months or 0.5 years

I = $45 x 8/100 x 0.5

I= $45 x 0.08 x 0.5

I=$1.8

The total amount owed will be $45 + $1.8

=$46.8

Arisa [49]

Answer:

there was inflation

Explanation:

Inflation may be defined as the rise in the price or the increase in the cost of a product or commodities in the market. It is when you pay more price for the same commodity that you have bought it in a less price earlier.

When there is inflation, the price of goods in the market increases.

In the context, Barbara usually buys the same market basket every week at a price of $ 60. But this week she could not buy the market basket even though she had $ 60 with her. This is because the price of the market basket increased this week due to inflation and now cost more than $60. So Barbara could not buy the market basket.
