Answer:
An elastic demand curve will result in higher social surplus. Social surplus equals consumer surplus plus supplier surplus, or simply total surplus. The highest possible social surplus is reached at the equilibrium point.
If a product's demand is completely inelastic, the supplier can increase the price at will, reducing consumer surplus to minimum levels. If a product's demand is completely elastic, then consumer surplus increases while supplier surplus is directly related to shifts in the demand. Higher demand increases supplier surplus.

The standard cost is $5 per lbs
each units uses 2 lbs, so the unit stadard cost is $10
Explanation:
Volume variance
std quantity 2800.00 (1,400 units times 2 pounds per unit)
actual quantity 3000.00
std cost ??

Explanation:
The unemployment rate measures the amount of people who are out of a job for at least 4 weeks, and are actively seeking to find a new job. If a person is not willing or able to search for a job, he/she is not considered unemployed nor part of the labor force.
If unemployed people just quit looking for jobs, the unemployment will decrease even though the number of people who are out a job increases. This happens because as soon as someone quits looking for new job, they are not considered unemployed anymore.
