Business
1 answer:
arlik [135]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B. a small percentage decrease in price produces a larger percentage increase in quantity demanded and total revenue increases. 

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Demand is elastic if a small percentage decrease in price produces a larger percentage increase in quantity demanded . Total revenue would increase because the percentage increase in Quanitity demanded exceeds the percentage decrease in price.

If demand is elastic, a small percentage increase in price produces a larger percentage decrease in quantity demanded and total revenue increases.

Here, total revenue falls because percentage decrease in price exceeds the percentage increase in price. 

Demand is inelastic if a small percentage decrease in price produces a smaller percentage increasein quantity demanded.

Demand is perfectly inelastic if the quantity demanded remains the same regardless of level of price.

I hope my answer helps you

If the Ricardian equivalence theorem LOADING... is not​ relevant, then an​ income-tax-rate cut A. will result in a multiple time
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. will result in a multiple times higher decrease in equilibrium real GDP in the short​ run; however, a​ tax-rate reduction will increase the​ automatic-stabilizer properties of the tax​ system, so equilibrium real GDP would be less stable.

Explanation:

Ricardian Equivalence is an economic theory that suggests that when a government increases expenses financed with debt to try to stimulate demand, demand does not really undergo any change.

This is because increases in the public deficit will lead to higher taxes in the future. To keep their consumption pattern stable, taxpayers will reduce consumption and increase their savings in order to offset the cost of this future tax increase.

If taxpayers reduce their consumption and increase their savings by the same amount as the debt to be returned by the government, there is no effect on aggregate demand.

The fundamental concept of Ricardian equivalence is that it does not matter which method the government chooses to increase spending, whether by issuing public debt or through taxes (applying an expansive fiscal policy), the result will be the same and demand will remain unchanged.
