Suppose in studying Climate Change we discover that in one country, deserts are going to be created where formerly there was grasslands and an abundance of water and in another place the coastlines are going to be altered. If you are an American, how do you think a politician is going to respond to such a problem.
Will his/her response be well thought out based on scientific preparedness, or will he (or she) grab onto the first solution suggestion to him/her and try and implement that?
Whatever he/she does, it will cost and everyone will be affected. A starting place is to find out what presidents in the past have done. During the Bush administration (the second Bush), there was an oil crisis. He responded by allocating more acreage to the growing of corn so supplementing oil production. Replaceable resources for non renewable ones. Sounded like a very good solution, but was it? As it turned out, no. He was robbing Peter to pay Paul. Thousands of people suffered (and died) with that decision because food is much more important than solving transportation problems at the expense of food.
The same is true here. If a solution is sought for global warming, politicians have to be well aware of what they are doing. And that has to be studied very carefully.
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity increases when price decreases.
Explanation:
Price elasticity is the percentage change in the quantity demanded, divided by the percentage change in the price.
If the percentage in the change in the quantity demanded is bigger than the percentage in the change of the price we talk about elastic demand.
If the percentage in the change in the quantity demanded is smaller than the percentage in the change of the price we talk about inelastic demand.
And if he percentage in the change in the quantity demanded is excatly the same than the percentage in the change of the price we talk about unit elastic demand.

Explanation:
Seacrest Enterprises
1000 units 5000 Units
Total Cost Total Cost /Unit Total Cost Total Cost/Unit
Direct materials $5,000 $5.00 $25,000 $5.00
Utilities expense $1,000 $1.0 0 $3,750 $0.75
Rent expense $4,000 $4.00 $4,000 $0.80
Direct Materials show variable Costs
Utilities expense show mixed costs
Rent Expense show fixed costs
The correct answer is
c. Utilities expense is a mixed cost and rent expense is a fixed cost.
That is true. Good luck on your future endeavors.
