your friend rita sells live bamboo trees. she's willing to supply 100 5-gallon buckets of bamboo trees for 80 dollars a bucket,

and she's willing to supply 200 at that price. what is the mathematical value of rita's price elasticity of supply and how would you categorize her supply elasticity?

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.

If the pond is resampled a year later, which of the following would best indicate that the pond had been adversely affected by a
Usimov [2.4K]

This question is not complete; here is the complete question:

A one-hectare pond is sampled in early September. The sample yields 1 small catfish as well as 17 benthic invertebrates that represent 10 species.

If the pond is resampled a year later, which of the following would best indicate that the pond had been adversely affected by adjacent development?

A. An uncommon species has become more numerous

B. An increase in low-tolerance species has occurred

C. A decrease in high-tolerance species has occurred

D. Phylogenetic diversity has occurred

E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased

The answer to this question is E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased

Explanation:

In ecology, an ecosystem can be affected by adjacent developments including human developments or even other ecosystems and this can lead to positive or negative consequences.

In this context, one example that shows the was an adverse effect is "The biodiversity of the pond has decreased" because the reduction in diversity represents a major thread for an ecosystem as this makes species more vulnerable to disappear. Also, this can be caused by factors such as pollution caused by human development or major predator of the adjacent ecosystem feeding on organisms in the main ecosystem. Besides this, in the first sample, there were multiple species and a reduction in the second sample shows the ecosystem was weakened.

Which of the following ideological principles of the Founding Fathers is MOST strongly suggested by the phrase "We the People"?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

D) The government gets it's authority from the people

Explanation: The preamble begins <em>"We the People"</em>, because it is stating the importance of the people in the United States government. The whole point of the American Revolution is the goal of creating a government that works by the "consent of the governed" and that gives power to the people.

Of course, this would not be stating that the United States is on its own, they make plenty of allies during the Revolution, and the Founding Fathers would never be a replacement for the king, since they are fighting against the idea of a Monarchy.
