Answer:
Urgency / Postponement leads to customer inelastic demand of ice melt.
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price
Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,
Inelastic Demand is when demand responds proportionately less to price change. % change in demand < % change in price
Case 'Customer critically needs ice melt to drive to work' : This has inelastic demand i.e demand less respondent to price changes (he will buy that at high price too). Such because of the urgency of this demand & less scope of its postponement.
Answer and Explanation:
From the diagram in the picture (please find attached) we see that the competitive price and quantity lies at the marginal cost( which the producer cannot go below). The consumer surplus lies just below the demand curve(the downward sloping curve with) and the producer surplus is above the marginal cost. Note the producer surplus is the difference between what the supplier is willing to sell and how much he actually sells, the marginal cost is the lowest the supplier would want to sell. This applies to the consumer surplus too
The producer surplus region was indicated with vertical strokes in the diagram attached
Your answer would be B. The price will go up because supply is low.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
When supply is perfectly inelastic, the supply curve is vertical as shown in the attached plot. Thus, the tax that shifts the supply curve upward would have no effect on the equilibrium quantity or price paid by consumers. Since equilibrium quantity or price paid by consumer don't change there's no burden on them. However, no team's owners would receive a lower after tax price and thus bearing the entire tax burden.
Less than 10% is the percentage of Greek students that would participate in a hazing activity, even if it made them uncomfortable. This percentage is justifiable because student participation in hazing activities is prohibited and the accompanying danger to physical and mental health induced to a student is one factor that makes it more off-putting.
