Answer:

b. greater in the beef market than in the milk market.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand is elastic if quantity demanded is more sensitive to changes in price. A small change in price leads to a greater change in quantity demanded.

Demand is inelastic if when price changes, there is little or no change in quantity demanded.

If there's bovine fever which decreases the population of beef cattle by 50 percent, supply would fall and price would rise. As a result of the rise in price, quantity demanded of beef would fall more than the quantity demanded of milk because beef has an elastic demand while milk has an inelastic demand.

How do trade-offs decided by corporations and government impact our lives?
Fittoniya [83]

Explanation:

Trade offs are something in which there are two things and we choose one of them according to our own preference or need. This is and should be our personal decision, but when Corporations and Governments decide on what to choose between two things, there would might be a negative impact on someone's life. He might feel controlled by the corporations and governments. For example, if corporations of CNG decides with the government that it is better for consumers to use CNG than Petrol in their cars, and lowers taxes on CNG and encourage consumers to shift towards CNG, then this trade off will have an impact of being controlled by the big giants. The choice should be of consumer's. The consumer should be the one who will trade off between things who are preferable for him.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

 c. $360 increase in excess reserves and a $40 increase in required reserves

Explanation:

Required reserves is the amount of reserves that is required by the Central bank that banks should keep.

Required reserve = reserve ratio × deposit

Excess reserve is the amount of reserves kept in excess of the required reserves.

Excess reserve = Deposit - Required reserve = $400 - $40 = $360
