Answer:

c. 2.50.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is defined as the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in the price of a commodity. It is calculated as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in price.

Elasticity is considered elastic if the value is above one, and is means an increase in price results in significant decrease in demand.

When elasticity is less than 1 it is said to be inelastic and increase in price does not result in significant change in demand.

Percentage change in quantity= (30millon- 20 million)/20 million= 0.5

Percentage change in price= (100-80)/100

Percentage change in price= 20/100= 0.2

Elasticity= 0.5/0.2= 2.5

According to the IRS Publication 525 (2018), Taxable and Nontaxable Income

<em>"</em><em><u>If you receive tangible personal property (other than cash, a gift certificate, or an equivalent item) as an award for length of service</u></em><em> or safety achievement, you generally can </em><em><u>exclude its value from your income</u></em><em>. However, the amount you can exclude is limited to your employer's cost and </em><em><u>can’t be more than $1,600</u></em><em> ($400 for awards that aren’t qualified plan awards) for all such awards you receive during the year. Your employer can tell you whether your award is a qualified plan award. Your employer must make the award as part of a meaningful presentation, under conditions and circumstances that don’t create a significant likelihood of it being disguised pay." </em>

Ed has to include the $2,000 he received as income but the $250 watch can be excluded.
