If the demand for milk is relatively inelastic, the discovery will lower both price and total revenues.

Option - b

<u>Explanation: </u>

Reducing prices to gain sales is a famous advertising tool. This type of situation arises mostly with every day products and services. If the quantity is increased, the demand will be inelastic this will lower both price and total revenue. Total revenue is reduced as price is reduced when demand is inelastic. When demand is inelastic, instead of reducing total revenue it could be hiked by raising price instead of reducing price.

Inelastic demand: In Economics, inelastic demand is even when the price of the product increases or decreases, the purchase rate of the product will be the same.

arlik [135]

Numbers of suppliers in a purely competitive market dictate how easy it is to start a business or transform it in that sector.

Explanation:

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is E) self-serving bias.

Explanation:

Self-service bias, or bias due to personal interest, appears when people request responsibility with greater interest for their own successes than for their own failures or failures. It also manifests itself when people tend to evaluate ambiguous information in a way that benefits their own interests. Dale Miller and Michael Ross were the first to suggest this attributional bias. Self-service also arises as a result of statistical bias as a result of people thinking, due to their self-esteem, that in certain areas it is better than average. For example: most drivers think they drive better than average.
