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.

Assume that the United States and India enjoy constant opportunity costs in the production possibilities shown in the table.
Soloha48 [4]

The nation that has the absolute advantage in peanuts is India.

<h3>How to solve for the absolute advantage of these countries</h3>

a. The country that has the absolute advantage in the pounds of peanuts is India. They are able to produce 10 million worth of the product.

b. This is in the attachment

c. From the calculated opportunity costs, India has been shown to have the comparative advantage in peanuts so they have to specialize here.

The US on the other hand has to specialize in pecans because they have  the comparative advantage in it.

d) The PPC for each country is a diagram

e. ) The terms of trade would be a pound of peanut for a pound of pec an for the countries.

Based on this the US would produce 10 units for pecans. They would use 5 units and exchange the remaining 5 units of pecans for 5 units of peanuts from India.

India is also going to do likewise.

What are the consequences of losing the Mandate of Heaven?
Stels [109]
The consequences of losing the mandate of heaven include that if the leader becomes unvirtous and people in the monarchs realm are suffering or starving from certain events seenot as a sign of ruler not being virtous, then being replaced and losing position of the emporer or being in charge is a threat. The mandate of heaven giveso you the authority to rule under the supposed word of God. Without this holy order, the people wouldn't want to follow the Supreme leader because they'd believe that they're not obligatedo tof anymore. Religion was very important at the time that the mandate of heaven was a key document in ruling political states, so it was very effective.
