Answer:

Total revenue would rise in the short run

Explanation:

A price elascitiy of 0.4 indicates that demand is inelastic.

Inelastic demand means that a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of inelastic demand is less than 1.

If the cost of the crude oil increases, the price of gasoline would increase too. Because demand is price inelastic , there would be little or no change in the quantity demanded of gasoline as a result total revenue would increase as a result of the rise in price.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Substitutes

Explanation:

The education services at the two universities are substitutes to each other. The cross price elasticity of substitute goods is positive which indicates that as the price of one good increases then as a result the demand for other good increases and if the price of one good decreases then as a result the demand for other good decreases.

Now, if there is an increase in the tuition fees at University A, hence, this will increase the price of educational services at University A. Therefore, this will lead to an increase in the demand for educational services at University B.

klio [65]

Pure monopoly and pure competition are the opposing limiting cases. Monopolistic competition exists between those two.
