Answer

Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16

Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29

Explanation:

To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:

$PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}$

Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.

Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).

devlian [24]

Incomplete question. I answered from a general economic standpoint.

Answer:

stay the same; decrease

Explanation:

Remember, in this scenario, it wasn't as though the mentioned workers lost their jobs, they only had their hours reduced by their employers; so they are not unemployed. This, therefore, implies that the unemployment rate will stay the same.

The labor force participation rate in simple words refers to the percentage of those who are currently employed or looking for a job within an economy. If the working hours are reduced, it may diminish the zeal among the workforce of an economy to work or find work because they may perceive they''ll earn less.
