Answer:Increase

Explanation:The demand will increase as these two companies exit the market because the competition has been reduced as the demand increases this will caus the equilibrium price to increase. People will be demanding more chips only from the three companies that will be remaining.They will have to supply more in return to that demand because the competition has been cut.

Answer: C. Increase

Explanation:

An oligopoly is a market structure in which a few firms dominate. When a market is shared between a few firms, it is said to be highly concentrated. Although only a few firms dominate, it is possible that many small firms may also operate in the market.

Where few firms dominate the equilibrium price will increase because the demand will be high, and this will make the equilibrium price increase.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

c. 2.71, and supply is elastic.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the price elasticity of supply is shown below:

Price elasticity of supply = (Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ percentage change in price)        

where,  

Change in quantity supplied is

= Q2 - Q1

= 100 t-shirts - 75 t-shirts

= 25 t-shirts

And, an average of quantity supplied is

= (100 + 75) ÷ 2

= 87.5

Change in price is

= P2 - P1

= $20 - $18

= $2

And, the average of price is

= ($20 + $18) ÷ 2

= 19

So, after solving this, the price  elasticity of supply  is 2.71

What are the five main reasons why the travel and tourism industry is important in the United States?
lukranit [14]

Over the decades, tourism has experienced continued growth and deepening ‎diversification to become one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world. ‎Modern tourism is closely linked to development and encompasses a growing number ‎of new destinations. These dynamics have turned tourism into a key driver for socio-‎economic progress.‎

Today, the business volume of tourism equals or even surpasses that of oil exports, ‎food products or automobiles. Tourism has become one of the major players in ‎international commerce, and represents at the same time one of the main income ‎sources for many developing countries. This growth goes hand in hand with an ‎increasing diversification and competition among destinations.‎

This global spread of tourism in industrialised and developed states has produced ‎economic and employment benefits in many related sectors - from construction to ‎agriculture or telecommunications.‎

The contribution of tourism to economic well-being depends on the quality and the ‎revenues of the tourism offer. UNWTO assists destinations in their sustainable ‎positioning in ever more complex national and international markets. As the UN agency ‎dedicated to tourism, UNWTO points out that particularly developing countries stand to ‎benefit from sustainable tourism and acts to help make this a reality
