Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Cartels are generally formed in oligopoly markets. In such markets there are few firms which are interdependent. So, they form cartels to enjoy monopoly power.

Though cartels are generally short lived and difficult to maintain. The reason behind this is that each firm has the incentive to deviate and produce more than their quota in order to capture more market share.

So, option d is the correct answer here.

To conduct an experiment, a movie theater increased movie ticket prices from $9 to $10 and measured the change in ticket sales.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

RELATIVELY INELASTIC

more elastic

less

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded

If demand is relatively inelastic and price increases, there would be little or no change in the quantity demanded and as a result, total revenue would increase

If demand were elastic and prices were increased, quantity demanded would fall more than the increase in price. As a result, total revenue would fall

In the long run, people have more time to search for suitable alternatives. Thus, demand tends to be more elastic in the long run

If the long run, price is increased, the total quantity demanded would fall and revenue would fall

Which of the following comes after a period of recession in the business cycle? A. Stagflation B. A drought C. A boom D. Recover
morpeh [17]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what comes after the period of recession in the business cycle.

<h3>Answer: D). Recovery</h3>

The reason why answer choice "D). Recovery" is correct because this comes after the period of recession in the business cycle.

Recession is like a "slow down" in the activity of a business. Which means that they aren't receiving any income, GDP, investments, and etc. This would cause a business to decrease while a lot of expenses that the business is getting are increasing. By expensive, I mean the cost to keep the business running and things of that sort.

Businesses go through a time of recession; therefore, they need to "recover" from that. And that's why recovery is the next stage. A business must recover from the "recession" period if they want to keep the business up and running. If the business doesn't recover, then the business will fail.

Once the business can recover from the recession period, then the business can succeed in their plans and execute them, while seeing the profits that they expected to make.

<h3>I hope this helps!</h3><h3>Best regards, MasterInvestor</h3>
