Answer and Explanation:

An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.

3-2/2 X 100 = 50%

The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666

The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67

Blababa [14]

Answer:

1. Continue to serve every dog that is brought to Bow Wow as well as possible, since customer service is a high priority and 2. Identify this as a threat and adopt a more rigorous screening process before accepting dogs, as well as charge more for dogs who have had a behavioral incident during a previous stay.

Explanation:

Bow Wow has as its best quality in the market the ability to treat well challenging dogs. This is what makes Bow Wow different. Focusing on not losing that characteristic, it would be paramount to maintain the ability to serve every dog as best as possible. Even the challenging ones. However, it is not wise from a business point of view to charge the same from dogs that have very different degrees of attention needs. Hence, it would be proper to charge more from the owners who have more difficult dogs. As Bow Wow will not lose its reputation, those owners will see that its worth the extra cost at the same that its not possible to bring to another daycare.

TEA [102]

Answer: D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to​ firms' labor hoarding practices.

Explanation:

Keynesian Economists argue that firms practice labor hoarding which is the practice of keeping workers when they should not such as when there is a Recession. They should not keep these workers because demand has slowed so keeping them means that they will not be producing to meet the demand.

The procyclical behavior of labor productivity means that labor productivity goes by the Business Cycle in that it is high when the Economy is booming and low when it is in a Recession.

Productivity is calculated by dividing goods produced by the number of labor producing them.

By refusing to fire workers during a Recession, there will be too many workers producing too few goods which will decrease labor productivity which is why according to Keynesian Economists, the productivity is low in Recessions.
