Answer:

The estimated percentage change in the price of oil=10%

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply is a measure of how the supply of a particular commodity or product changes with price change.

Elasticity of supply can be expressed as;

Elasticity of supply=Percentage change in quantity supplied/percentage change in price

where;

Elasticity of supply=0.3

Percentage change in quantity supplied=3%

Percentage change in price=unknown=x

replacing;

Elasticity of supply=Percentage change in quantity supplied/percentage change in price

0.3=3%/x

x=3%/0.3

x=10%

The estimated percentage change in the price of oil=10%

What will NOT cause a shortage?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<h3>Answer: D) increase in prices</h3>

An increase in prices will reduce demand, and not supply. You could have an increase in prices due to a shortage, but price increases could also be from a number of other factors, one of which is demand increasing.

Meanwhile, war, scarcity and extreme weather all are possible factors of a shortage. So we can cross choices A,B,C off the list.

What limits are placed on the government's power to tax?​
riadik2000 [5.3K]
The U.S. taxing power, while very broad, has important limitations. First, direct taxes must be apportioned, a very difficult requirement. Second, duties, imposts, and excises must be uniform—an easy-to-meet standard, but one which, if ignored, can be fatal to a statute.


P.S. I hope this helps

The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:

= (January ending inventory in units × price) + (February ending inventory in units × price) + (May ending inventory in units × price) + (September ending inventory in units × price) + (November ending inventory in units × price)

= (8 units × $113) + (9 units × $124) + (13 units × $136) + (7 units × $144) + (11 units × $154)

= $904 + $1,116 + $1,768 + $1,008 + $1,694
