Answer:

The correct answer is housing.

Explanation:

A family spends 35 percent of its income on housing, 20 percent on travel-related expenses, 10 percent on utilities, 25 percent on health care, and 5 percent on miscellaneous items.

The item which has the largest share in the budget will be most responsive to change in the price. In other words, we can say that the item that has the largest share in the budget will be most price elastic.

This is because a change in the price of such a product will cause a significant impact on the consumer's budget.

Here, housing has the highest share i.e. 35% in the budget so it will be most price elastic.

Anna11 [10]
5% of 2265$ is 113,25$
Because 5% is 5/100 so 5 x 2265$ = 11325$
11325$ : 100 = 113,25$
Second year cost is the first year’s plus 5% so
2265$ + 113,25$ = 2378,25$ (second year cost)

Aleks04 [339]

I inferred you are to the 2017 TEDx talk "Short-termism is killing us: it's time for Long path" by Ari Wallach.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Wallach, he refers to short-termism as focusing on short-term results at the expense of long-term interests.

In his words, short-termism is a problem because;

  • "it prevents the CEO from buying really expensive safety equipment"
  • "prevents teachers from spending quality one-on-one time with their students".

So in summary what Wallach is saying is that short-termism prevents futuristic thinking.
