Answer:

The correct option is A, risk averse

Explanation:

Risk aversion is a situation where a person undertaking a business or an investor tries as much as possible to limit exposure to losses by taking drastic steps to ensure the losses do not materialize.

The publisher in this case is conscious of facing the lawsuit that could result from publishing story and has taken a precautionary measure by not even venturing into the publishing ,let alone a  lawsuit with substantial amount in damages rears its ugly head.

A risk seeking investor would go ahead with the publishing since success could bring a juicy income

If the price elasticity of demand for a product equals 1, as its price rises the:______
Allisa [31]

Answer:

c. total revenue does not change.

Explanation:

A price elasticity of demand can be defined as a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a product demanded with respect to a change in price of the product, all things being equal.

Mathematically, the price elasticity of demand is given by the formula;

Price \; elasticity of demand = \frac {Percentage \; change \; in \; quantity \; demanded}{Percentage \; change \;  in \; price}

The demand for goods is said to be elastic, when the quantity of goods demanded by consumers with respect to change in price is very large. Thus, the more easily a consumer can switch to a substitute product in relation to change in price, the greater the elasticity of demand.

Generally, consumers would like to be buy a product as its price falls or become inexpensive.

For substitute products (goods), the price elasticity of demand is always positive because the demand of a product increases when the price of its close substitute (alternative) increases.

If the price elasticity of demand for a product equals 1, as its price rises the total revenue does not change because the demand is unit elastic.

Which of the following statements about the price elasticity of demand is correct The absolute value of the elasticity of demand
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Demand is more elastic in the long run than it is in the short run

Explanation:

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

Demand is more elastic in the long run than it is in the short run because in the long run consumers have more time to search for suitable substitutes.

When the absolute value of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.

When the absolute value of elasticity of demand is equal to one, demand is unitary.

When the absolute value of elasticity of demand is greater than one, demand is elastic.

Demand is less elastic the smaller the percentage of the consumer's budget the item takes up. 

The elasticity of demand for a specific brand of good doesn't translate into the elasticity of demand for the good.

Answer:

What to produce?

Explanation:

A society has to make choices in order to meet the diverse needs of its members. The resources available in all economies are insufficient to meet all needs. Because of this scarcity, a society has to make informed decisions on what to produce at any given.  

Societies make choices on what to produce with the available resource. In every decision, there is a sacrifice to be made.
