Answer:

The slope of the demand curve at point A is  - $0.40/unit

The slope of the demand curve at point B is - $0.14/unit

Explanation:

See the file attached with the figure corresponding to this question.

The slope of a curve at a given point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.

Point A:

The tangent line to the demand curve at point A is drawn and passes through the points (20, 34) and (45, 24).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (34 - 24) / (20 - 45) units

slope = - $10 /25units = - $2/5units = - $0.40/unit.

The minus sign indicates the that price decreases when the quantity increases

Point B:

The tangent line to the demand curve at point B passes through the points (90, 12) and (140, 5).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (12 - 5) / (90 - 140) units

slope = - $7 /50units = - $7/50units = - $0.14/unit.

Again, the negative sign indicates that when the number of units increase the price decreases.

Answer:

Her sociological imagination.

Explanation:

From the question, we were informed about Jill's parents who were concerned because she does not have a job despite graduating from college. Her parents tell her that they got jobs right out of high school, so she should be able to get a job very easily. They conclude that she must be lazy. Jill tells them that they need to consider larger economic trends and changes in technology to understand why she is having trouble finding a job. Jill is using

Her sociological imagination to explain her inability to get a job. The sociological imagination can be regarded as a practice that involved having ability to “think ourselves away” from some of our daily and familiar routines of our lives, so that see them with critical and new eyes, Sociological imagination is ability gotten by individual to focus away from his/her particular situation then think from other point of view or alternative perspective.

Suppose that business travelers and vacationers have the following demand for airline tickets from New York to Boston:

Furkat [3]

Answer

Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16

Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29

Explanation:

To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:

$PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}$

Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.

Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).
