Answer:

The demand for candy bars is inelastic

Explanation:

The midpoint rule calculate the price elasticity of demand as percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price:

<u>% change in quantity </u>

\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{ \frac{Q_2 + Q_1}{2} }  \times 100

The quantity demanded increased from 500 to 600. We have

Q_1 = 500 \: and \: Q_2 = 600

\implies \frac{600 - 500}{ \frac{600 + 500}{2} }  \times 100 \\  =  \frac{100}{ \frac{1100}{2} } \\  =  \frac{100}{550} \\  =  \frac{2}{11}

<u>% change in price</u>

\frac{P_2-P_1}{ \frac{P_2 + P_1}{2} }  \times 100

The price changed from 1 dollar to 0.8 dollars.

\frac{0.8 - 1}{ \frac{0.8 + 1}{2} } =  -  \frac{2}{9}

Price elasticity if demand is

\frac{ \frac{2}{11} \%}{  - \frac{2}{9} \%}  =  -  \frac{9}{11}  =  - 0.82

The negative sign tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.

Since 0.82 is less than 1, the demand for candy bars is inelastic

What's the difference between a brand-name and a generic product? A. The company that sells the product B. The side effects of t
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The quality should be about the same.

The social responsibility should also be about the same.

There shouldn't be side effects of most products. If you are speaking of medications, there really ought to be the same side effects with the same severity and the same statistical occurrences.

The only difference is the company selling the product.

There have been exceptions to this where different "fillers" were used in the generic brand and the side effects were different and more severe. I've only heard of one case however and I cannot remember what it was. Manufacturers were careful not to let it happen again.

1. Famous celebrities and the super-wealthy oftentimes pay others to do many of their household tasks for them. For example, the
poizon [28]

Explanation:

1) Famous celebrities and the people with lots of money are often seen with workers round them for their household chores/tasks. Although they are paying money for the work they could have done by themselves but if we analyze closely, they are actually taking advantage of the opportunity cost. The time when they were suppose to do the household work, now they are performing other task in that time which will be giving them much greater economic benefit, taking advantage of the concept of opportunity cost. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo can focus on his workout and daily exercise instead of making daily meals for himself, so he should have hired someone to do the meal work for him while he perform his workout which will help him on the field and will earn him much money.

2) Yes, it is possible for 2 countries to benefit from trade as a whole because they can get into an agreement by allowing free trade between the countries, for example, both the countries could agree that all the trade which will be executed between them would be tax free and no duties will be paid on them. This way the trade numbers would increase and industrialization would take place to meet the export/import orders. On the contrary, trading individually can be not so beneficial because there will be no free trade agreements between individuals i.e. no free lunches, that is why it could cost individuals much more than they can make money out of it.

3) One of the main reasons to oppose policies that restrict trade among the nations is that GDP. GDP is a measure of growth in any country, therefore when there will be no trade among countries, it would result in less productions of goods and services which which lead to less industrialization, which then will result to low employment and more unemployment, ultimately resulting in very low growth for any country and since growth is the only way forward for any nation, economists oppose policies that restrict trade among countries/nations.

I hope this detailed answer of mine help the poster.

Thank You and Good Luck.
