Answer:

$7.5

Greater

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

0.2 = 10%/ percentage change in price

percentage change in quantity demanded = 50% = 0.5

0.5 = (New price - $5) / $5

New price = (5 × 0.5) + 5 = $7.5

In the short run, demand is relatively inelastic because consumers need time to find suitable substitutes but in the long run, demand is usually more elastic.

How does the dynamic model of aggregate supply and aggregate demand explain​ inflation?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is the letter C. by showing that if total spending in the economy grows faster than total​ production, prices will rise

Explanation:

The dynamic aggregate supply and demand model explains inflation as follows: In the short run, an economy's production capacity is limited to existing factors of production, ie there is little room to increase the amount of capital and thus the supply of goods and services. Thus, if aggregate demand, that is, the economy's consumption capacity grows faster than production capacity, that is, to supply goods and services, there will be demand inflation, which happens when aggregate consumption pressures aggregate supply, raising price levels.

If a competitive firm can sell a bushel of soybeans for $25 and it has an average variable cost of $24 per bushel and the margin
Liula [17]

Answer: reduce output.

Explanation:

In a competitive market, firms do not have control over the price that they sell their goods in the market but they do have control over their costs. It is recommended to produce/ sell goods at a quantity where Marginal Revenue will equal Marginal cost (MR = MC).

In a Competitive Market, Price is the same as Marginal revenue which means that Marginal revenue here is $25 and the Marginal Cost is $26. At this quantity of output, the Marginal Cost is larger than the Marginal revenue.

Company should therefore reduce output to a quantity where Marginal Cost will equal Marginal revenue.
