Answer:

Increased

2.907%

decreased

decrease

increase

0.64

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

Abe's elasticity of demand is elastic because it has a value greater than 1.

if quantity demanded decreases, it means that price must have been increased.  this would lead to a decrease in total revenue

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

informed consent

Explanation:

Based on the information provided, this is a violation of informed consent. This is because informed consent can only be granted when the individual signing the consent forms COMPLETELY understands and accepts the information presented in the forms. In this scenario, the family may speak English but since their native language is Korean and the consent forms are not offered in Korean there is a large possibility that some of the information may not be fully understood by the family. Thus they are not fully informed when signing.
