Answer:

E_s = 0.9

It's inelastic

Explanation:

Formula for elasticity of supply is;

E_s = % change in quantity supplied/% change in price

The percentage will cancel out so, we are left with;

E_s = change in quantity supplied/ change in price

Change in quantity supplied = (200 - 100)/((200 + 100)/2) = 3/5

Price for 100 buckets = 100 × 80 =$8000

Price for 200 buckets = 200 × 80 = $16000

Change in price = (16000 - 8000)/((8000 + 16000)/2) = 2/3

Thus:

E_s = (3/5) ÷ (2/3)

E_s = 0.9

Now, this price elasticity supply value is less than 1. Thus, it can be categorized as being inelastic.

Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) was an influential German philosopher of the twentieth century, inspiring a variety of scholastic disciplines from aesthetics to theology. In suggesting understanding was interpretation and vice versa, Gadamer identifies language acting as the medium for understanding. Gadamer’s philosophy of hermeneutics has major implications for education and formal schooling because Hermeneutics help to know the knowledge a student has prior to the lesson. This helps in the dialogue about a subject matter and therefore, the philosophy of Hermeneutics when applied in classroom helps the teachers pass information easily and effectively, hence, the learners capture the whole content of a topic.

Ket [755]

South was not in favor of the enfranchisement of the African American and did not like it.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Black enfranchisement meant when the African American got the right to vote in the United States of America. This was the passing of the fifteenth amendment of the United States constitution which gave the males belonging to black community right for voting.

With the enfranchisement, these got the right to vote and were given more equal opportunities and rights. But the southern people did not like this enfranchisement.
