Answer:
The 10,000 units of output that will be supplied by the two firms to the market.
Profit that each firm would earn will be higher than previous.
Explanation:
The firm selling 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. If the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit. If the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units then the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units (6,000 + 4,000). The supply of goods in the market will increase so price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline but they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.

Answer:
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Price elasticity of demand for beef, Ed = 0.60
Increase in the price of beef = 20%
Now,
Price elasticity of demand for beef,
Ed = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ [ Percentage change in price ]
or
0.60 = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 0.60 × 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 12%
Also,
Price and Quantity are inversely proportional
Hence,
With the increase in price, the quantity will decrease
Therefore,
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
