Answer:

8.08

Explanation:

Hi!

The income elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the negative % change in demand by the % change in real income.

We calculate the negative % change in demand as:

19/20 = 0.95, a 95%

Then, the % change in real income as:

(34,000-30,000)/34,000 = 0.1176, an 11.76%

So the income elasticity of demand is:

0.95/0.1176 = 8.08

Hope it helps! :)

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: c. It could allow real wages to downwardly adjust more easily.

Explanation:

When there is modest inflation, companies in the car manufacturing industry can simply decide not to increase nominal wages. This would lead to a fall in real wages as inflation would ensure that the nominal wages are less than they were worth before.

This decrease in real wages will allow the companies in the industry to reduce labor costs in real terms and become more competitive with the foreign manufacturers.
