Answer:

B) Supply is inelastic, therefore, the price increased more than it otherwise would have.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) measures how much the quantity demanded of a product or service changes proportionally to a change in the price of the product or service.

If PED < 1, the demand is inelastic

PED > 1, the demand is elastic

PED = 1, the demand is unitary

When the PED is inelastic, if the price of a product or service changes 1%, then the quantity demanded will change less than 1%.

In this case the price increased a lot, but the quantity demanded only decreased a little bit.

What is one way to speed up the acquisition of a classically conditioned response?
Vanyuwa [196]
One way to speed up the acquisition of classically conditioned response is to INCREASE THE INTENSITY OF BOTH THE CONDITIONED STIMULUS AND UNCONDITIONED UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS.
Acquisition refers to how learned responses are strengthened or changed over time. Classical conditioning refers to the learning process which occur when two stimuli are repeatedly paired. In order to increase the rate of learning [acquisition], the intensity of both the condition and unconditioned stimulus can be increased.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

$45,800

Explanation:

Coronado Industries

Cost of Equipment $762,00

Accumulated Depreciation

( $762,000 - 45,000 ) /10*9 years

=$717,000/10×9 years

=71,700×9 years

=$645,300

Therefore Dec 31,2012 book value of equipment will be:

= $762,000 - $645,300

= $116,700

Equipment sold $162,500

The gain to be recognize will be

= $162,500 - $116,700

= $45,800

1 January ,2012 to 31 December,2020 will give us 9 years

A shift in the demand curve can be caused by a change in one of the determinants of demand.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

A- A change in the technology used by firms.

Explanation:

A change in technology can affect the demand of products and services.  It can lead to the increased demand for a certain product, reducing the demand for an older product.

With the use of technology to upgrade products and services, demand curves will continually shift, according to preferences of customers.

Technology could be used by firms to produce upgrades and newer variations of products at more favorable prices for customers  than existing products. This leads to competition and the demand for the newer device goes up since people see the new product as 'getting more for less'. A good example is computers and tablets. Tablets which could match up with the work of computers were produced at lower prices. This shifted the demand towards tablets, making computers more obsolete.
