Country A's population 2,000, worked 1,300 with 8 hours a day with a productivity of 5 = 52,000 units of something produced. GDP per capita = 52,000 / 2,000 = <u>26 per capita</u>

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

b. inelastic

c. Yes - it decreased

Explanation:

Elasticitiy of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

= -2/4 = -0.5

The absolute value is 0.5

If the absolute value of the coffiecnet of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded .

We can tell that the quantity demanded fell because of the negative sign in front of the percentage change in quantity demanded.
