Answer:
(B) 40%
Explanation:
↓Q / ΔPrice = Price-elasicity
The price elasticity is the relationship between a change in price with the quantity demanded of a certain good assuming, other factor remains constant.
ΔPrice = (P0 - P1)/((P0 + P1)/2) = (2 - 6)/((2+6)/2) = 4/4 = 1
We know that price elasticity is 0.4
Now we can solve for the change in the quantity demanded:
↓Q/ 1 = 0.4
↓Q = 0.4 x 1 = 0.40 = 40%
Answer: B. It is shifting from a planned to a free-market economy.
