use the total revenue test to determine whether the demand for home heating oil is elastic or inelastic and why

1 answer:

6 0

Home heating oil is considered inelastic demand instead of elastic demand. Inelastic demand is when people will buy the same amount whether the price of the good drops or rises. People who buy home heating oil want their homes to be kept heated and warm, since they are buying it to serve a purpose like this, whether the price rises or drops they still will need it. Since they will need it regardless of price, they will continue to buy it and therefor it is inelastic.

It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

Explanation:

A bank will often hold government securities as an asset. If a bank were to sell S500,000 in government securities to an individual who paid for the bond in cash and the bank placed this cash in its vault, by how much would the money supply change as a result - It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

The money supply is the entire stock of currency and other liquid instruments circulating in a country's economy and is given by the formula:

MONEY SUPPLY = RESERVES X MONEY MULTIPLIER
