Answer:

The correct answer is:

Charge everyone who uses the stairwell when it is congested the same fee which is high enough to discourage some people from using the stairwell during peak times. People who value the use of the stairs the most will be the ones who use the stairwell at peak times. (c)

Explanation:

If everyone who uses the stairwell at peak times is charged a fee for usage, this will help to reduce the number of people using the stairs at such times because the only people willing to pay such fees will be priority users, who gain value out of the use of the stairs at such times, other will be forced to limit the use of the stairs at the peak times.

The other options (a, b and d) are not valid options because they will negatively affect priority users if the stakes do not fall in their favour, hence will not be efficient ways of controlling the congestion.

Answer:

Increase in Substitute good price , Decrease in Complementary Good price, Fall in Income , Taste & preferences change in favour of good.

Explanation:

Demand is the ability & willingness of consumer to buy a product at a price , period of time.

There are four factors affecting Demand with following relationships with it : Price of Good (inversely related) , Price of related goods (substitutes-directly related) & (complements-inversely related), Income (directly related) , Taste & preferences (depends).

Any Change in 'Quantity Demanded' due to change in good's own price leads to movement on the demand curve (contraction or expansion). Any 'Change in Demand' due to factors other than price shifts the demand curve (rightwards or leftwards).

So : Increase in substitute good's price (eg- tea) price makes coffee relatively cheaper, Decrease in complementary good's price (eg - sugar/milk) makes coffee altogether cheaper, taste & preference change in favour of coffee consumption (eg- people learning advantages of caffaine consumption). All these mentioned Increase the Demand for coffee & shifts its curve rightwards.

uysha [10]

Answer: The percentage of respondents said that the gas prices are“Not at all annoying”  are 12.57%

Explanation:  There are 1018 respondents out of which 128 respondents said that the gas prices are “Not at all annoying”

Percentage of the respondents are = Number of respondents who said gas prices are not annoying ÷ Total number of respondents *100

Where, Number of respondents “Not at all annoying” = 128

              Total Number of respondents = 1018

Percentage of the respondents = 128 ÷ 1018 * 100

Percentage of the respondents = 0.1257367 *100

Therefore, the percentage of respondents who said is not annoying is 12.57%.
