Answer:

The answer is: C) 2.5 and producers are very responsive to the price change.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply refers to what percentage does the quantity supplied change when the price of the good changes in 1%. It is calculated using the following formula:

  • price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price

Price elasticity of supply of tablets = 20% / 8% = 2.5

For every 1% that the price increases, the quantity supplied will increase by 2.5%.

Since PES > 1, the supply is very price elastic.

Let's suppose that the demand for allergists increases in California. assuming there is a perfectly competitive market for allergists in California :

Allergists from other states (or countries) could move to California.

Surgeons, hematologists, and other doctors in California could become allergists after some retraining.

More people could enter medical school, specialize in allergies, and move to California.

A competitive market is an economic term that refers to a market in which there are a large number of buyers and sellers and no single buyer or seller can influence the market. A competitive market has no barriers to entry, many buyers and sellers, and homogeneous products.

In economics, especially general equilibrium theory, perfect markets, also called atomistic markets, are defined by several idealized conditions collectively known as perfect or atomistic competition.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

$16400

$8200

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)  

Depreciation factor = 2/4 = 0.5

Depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.5 x $32,800 = $16,400

Book value at the beginning of year 2 =  $32,800 - $16,400 = $16400

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 x $16,400= $8200
