Answer:

As the question was not complete. I have attached the complete question in the attachment. Please refer to attachment.

Explanation:

<em>By using, LD = 95- 3w and w1 = 7.25 and w2 = 9. We get, </em>

<em>LD1 = 95-3(7.25) = 73.25 </em>

<em>LD2 = 95-3(9) = 68 </em>

Elasticity = Change in labor demand/ change in wage rate = ((68- 73.25)/ 73.25)/ ((9-7.25/7.25)) = -0.33

The 11 percent change in the wage rate causes, 33% change in labor demanded, as shown by the elasticity, the labor demand decreases with increase in wage rate.

Llana [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market

disa [49]
The correct answer should be <span>Yes, because though most Governance employees have a bachelor’s degree, it is not required.

A formal education degree is not necessary for getting a position in a governing office. His military career can be helpful since many military generals have been involved in politics because of their high rank, and he wouldn't be the first or the last military general that became a leader of a country due to their experience. He obviously has experience in the field and in working with people and if he is high ranked that also means that he can manage organizations well, so he can become an officer in a governing position if he desires to.</span><span />

If the price of good X increases by 2%, and that causes the quantity demanded of good Y to decrease by 15%, then the cross elast
Zina [86]

Answer:

-7.5%

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of the quantity of a commodity, Y in this case, to the change in the price of another commodity, X in this case.

Cross elasticity of demand is measured as a percentage change in the quantity of commodity Y divided by the percentage in the price of commodity Y. This can be written mathematically as follows:

Ec = % Change in the quantity of commodity Y divided by the percentage in the prie of commodity X.

Where Ec denoted cross elasticity.

Applying the formula to this question, we have

Ec = -15%/2% = -7.5%

Note that under cross elasticity of demand:

1. Two goods are substitute if the value of their cross elasticity of demand is positive. That is, an increase in the price of good one, good X, will lead to an increase in the quantity demand of the second, good Y.

2.  Two goods are complimentary if the value of their cross elasticity of demand is negative.That is, an increase in the price of good one, good X, will lead to an decrease in the quantity demand of the second, good Y.

Therefore in this question, goods X and Y are complimentary because the value of their cross elasticity of demand is -7.5% which is negative.

I wish you the best.
