Answer:
see below
Explanation:
A positive correlation signifies that an increase in one variable results in the other variable moving in the same direction. Because supply and price are positively correlated, a price increase will increases supply. The opposite is also true.
Suppliers are business people whose main objective is to make profits. Higher prices give higher margins. Suppliers make higher profits when prices are high. The possibility of making higher profits motivates suppliers to increase supplies to the market. On the other hand, low prices may result in losses. When prices are low, supplies will shy away from the market to avoid making losses.
Answer:
$1 or 100% of the tax
Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.
The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.
Answer:
Mel
If Mel is risk-neutral, then in the absence of trip insurance, the most she will be willing to pay for the cruise is _______.
c. $1,220
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mel's value of a cruise in nice weather = $2,000
Mel's value of a cruise in bad weather = $50
Probability of nice weather = 60%
Probability of bad weather = 40%
Expected value:
Weather Outcome Probability Expected Value
Nice weather $2,000 60% $1,200
Bad weather $50 40% $20
Total expected value of a cruise $1,220
Answer:
B. The demand is more elastic than supply .
Explanation:
Demand & supply are buyers & sellers ability , willingness to buy & sell respectively .
Elasticity means responsiveness of demand & supply to prices.
'Tax burden' can be forwarded / shared only in case of Indirect taxes , whose burden & incidence lie on different people.
The burden falls on the party (consumers / suppliers) whose market element (demand / supply) is inelastic i.e less responsive to prices.
So , if sellers are bearing larger burden : It means demand is relatively elastic & supply is relatively inelastic.
