and the annual quantity demanded of Sue's Subs is 80. Suppose that when the price of Patty's Pizza increases from $8 to $10 per pie, the quantity demanded of Sue's Subs increases from 80 to 100. Suppose also that when the average student's income increases to $12,000 per year, the annual quantity demanded of Patty's Pizza increases from 50 to 60.Refer to Scenario 5-1. Using the midpoint method, what is the income elasticity of demand for pizza and what does the value indicate about the demand for pizza?A. The income elasticity is 1 so pizza is a normal good.B. The income elasticity is -1 so pizza is an inferior good.C. The income elasticity is 0.18 so pizza is a normal good.D. The income elasticity is 1 so pizza is unitary elastic.

Answer:

Explanation:

Pizza quantity Change = 60-50 = 10

Income change = $12000 - $10000 = $2000

Mid point of Quantity of Pizza = (50+60)/2 = 55

Mid point of income =  ($12000 + $10000)/2 = $11000

Income elasticity = 10*11,000/2000*55 = 110,000/110,000=1

Pizza is a unit elastic normal good, because percentage change in income = % change in pizza quantity

Anton [14]

Answer:

Income

Explanation:

Suppose the market wage for cashiers increases from $7 per hour to $9 per hour. As a result, Pat, who is a cashier, now works five more hours per week. On the other hand Chris, who is also a cashier, now works five fewer hours per week.Chris's behavior illustrates the <u>Income</u> effect of a wage increase.

As the income increases, few individual prefer to work fewer hours as now they are able to maintain target by working fewer than at previous wage rate. These people prefer leisure over higher income and want to settle down with limited income. These people  may have a backward bending individual labour supply curve – they may choose to work fewer hours when the wage rate rises.

What happens at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The first type of convergent boundary is Oceanic-Continetal Convergence. This type of convergent boundary happens where an oceanic plate and a continental plate push together causing the oceanic plate to be forced under the continental plate into the mantle because the oceanic plate is thinner. This is called a subduction.

If the natural rate of unemployment is 5%, and the actual rate of unemployment is 4%: a the short-run Phillips curve will shift
fiasKO [112]

Answer: d. inflation will increase.

Explanation:

The Natural rate of unemployment is the long term rate of unemployment which means that it is the rate associated with the Potential GDP.

If the Actual unemployment is less than this natural rate, it means that the Economy is performing better than the potential GDP. When this is happening, it means that the economy is overheating.

One of the symptoms of an overheated economy is increased inflation as more people can afford to buy goods and services. Inflation is therefore more probably rising in this economy.
