Answer: 36% increase in quantity demanded.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity shows the change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.

Change in Quantity demanded = Price elasticity * Change in price.

Change in price using midpoint formula;

= \frac{New price - Old Price}{\frac{New Price + Old Price }{2} } \\\\= \frac{4,000 - 6,000}{\frac{4,000 + 6,000 }{2} } \\\\= \frac{-2,000}{5,000} \\\\= -0.4

Change in Quantity demanded = -0.9 * -0.4

= 0.36

= 36% increase

Answer:

Well it depends on the person. Are you scared of seeing bugs or scared of even thinking or knowing about them. If you are a truly scared I would suggest not becoming an exterminator.

If its just a general fear of insects you can give the job a try, since most exterminators don't come in direct contact with insects you will rather be spraying or preventing the insects to come in the first place.

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.
