Answer:

$3.62

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

1.3 = 60% / percentage change in price

Percentage change in price = 60/1.3

=46.15%

Price has to rise by 46.15% or 0.4615

0.4615 = (x - 2.48) / 2.48

1.14 = x - 2.48

X = 3.62

Price has to rise to $3.62 to achieve a 60% reduction.

Types of imperfect competition
hoa [83]
  • Monopolistic competition: A situation in which many firms with slightly different products compete. Production costs are above what may be achieved by perfectly competitive firms, but society benefits from the product differentiation.
  • Monopoly: A firm with no competitors in its industry. A monopoly firm produces less output, has higher costs, and sells its output for a higher price than it would if constrained by competition. These negative outcomes usually generate government regulation.
  • Oligopoly: An industry with only a few firms. If they collude, they form a cartel to reduce output and drive up profits the way a monopoly does.
  • Duopoly: A special form of Oligopoly, with only two firms in an industry.
  • Monopsony: A market with a single buyer and many sellers.
  • Oligopsony: A market with a few buyers and many sellers.
