The price elasticity of supply for basmati rice (an aromatic strain of rice) is likely to be which of the following?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: D. Higher in the long run than the short run, because farmers cannot easily change their decisions about how much basmati rice to plant once the current crop has been planted.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Supply refers to how Supply changes in response to a change in price. Essentially, if the price of a good increases, will Supplier supply more or less of that good as a result and by how much will they do so.

In the short run, the farmers would have already planted the crops and so would be unable start changing the quantity that they expect from the harvest. They will therefore supply the amount they harvested regardless of a price change.

In the long run however, they can change the amount of rice planted depending on the price of the rice in the market. Price Elasticity is therefore higher in the long run than in the short run.

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Capital is what is used to start a business. It is what the owner's contribution in the business. In advanced class, it is called stock or equity. Capital is usually from the owner's savings. But if this money is borrowed either from an individual or a bank, the person is a borrower while the other party is the lender.

Option C and D are incorrect because the items needed for the business are not consumables, they are needed for the smooth running of the business, hence they are not consumption.

Finger [1]

Honestly I would say being an entrepreneur is the most complex and difficult to form, especially if you're trying to build from the ground up it can take a matter of 4-5 maybe more years, this isn't a "answer" ore of an "opinion."

Hope this helped though!
