In the short run, a monopolistic ally competitive firm continues to increase production until MR = MC if it can at least cover its variable cost. This is the profit maximizing condition. If firm is able to cover his variable costs in short run, he should continue production.
Answer:
inelastic demand
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the proportional change in quantity demanded when the price of a product or service changes:
- when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in a smaller proportion, the PED is said to be inelastic.
- when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in a larger proportion, the PED is said to be elastic.
- when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in the same proportion, the PED is said to be unit elastic.
In this case, the decrease in price (-2%) barely increased the quantity demanded, therefore, the PED is inelastic.
