Answer:

option D "The demand is unitary elastic."

Explanation:

Data provided:

At price, P1 = 3,000 units

Demand, D1 = $ 50

also,

at price P2 = $ 60

Demand, D2 = 2,500 units

Now,

the percentage change in price = \frac{60-50}{50}\times100

or

the percentage change in price = 20%

and,

The percentage change in the quantity = \frac{2500-3000}{2500}\times100

or

The percentage change in the quantity = -20%

The elasticity in demand (Ed) is given as:

Ed = (Percentage change in quantity) / (Percentage change in price)

on substituting the values, we get

Ed = (-20%) / 20%

or

Ed = - 1

Here the negative sign depicts the inverse relation between the price and the demand.

hence, the correct answer is option D "The demand is unitary elastic."

Answer:

This is an absolutely  great idea. The only problem is where are you planning to hold your Business? Where are you selling these candies? How will you spread the word? What can you do to make sure people come back and want more of your product?

Explanation: I always wanted to sell candy when I was little but never pulled the trigger on it. For starters I think you should make the names a bit more of a friendly connotation so people don't assume the worst of your product. Your best bet to sell your items and candies would be at school. Now to be honest more kids are carrying money around now than they ever had when I was in elementary-middle school. This is your best bet. Make sure when you are selling your candies to not go in debt with your business, so many people I know tried this and failed because they put way more money then they were making because they thought it would pay off. Yes sometimes take the risk but almost always if your just trying to make a couple bucks, take it easy and sell for a reasonable price. If it costs about $10 to make "Brown Cows" for about 20 people then sell each brown cow for $1.25 per stick. If you have 20 people who are willing to buy you would make 15 dollars profit. Final thing is actually finding people to sell to. Most people go at these type of things alone which I think is a great idea. But if you want to get the word out even more tell a popular kid that you will pay him 5  for every 20 "Brown Cows" he sells. You can really pay him anything you want as long as your not going over your profit margin! Good luck and I would love to know how this goes!

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

Infant-industry argument says that a particular industry can't compete with other international competitors because of the economies of scale. So, they demand a temporary protection until they gain economies of scale to be ready to compete on a level playing field.

Note: This can also come in the category of 'unfair competition' argument as huge economies of scales of well established companies create an unfair environment for nascent industries to compete on a same level.
