When the price of candy bars is $1.00, the quantity demanded is 500 per day. When the price falls to $0.80, the quantity demande

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The demand for candy bars is inelastic

Explanation:

The midpoint rule calculate the price elasticity of demand as percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price:

% change in quantity

$\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{ \frac{Q_2 + Q_1}{2} } \times 100$

The quantity demanded increased from 500 to 600. We have

$Q_1 = 500 \: and \: Q_2 = 600$

$\implies \frac{600 - 500}{ \frac{600 + 500}{2} } \times 100 \\ = \frac{100}{ \frac{1100}{2} } \\ = \frac{100}{550} \\ = \frac{2}{11}$

% change in price

$\frac{P_2-P_1}{ \frac{P_2 + P_1}{2} } \times 100$

The price changed from 1 dollar to 0.8 dollars.

$\frac{0.8 - 1}{ \frac{0.8 + 1}{2} } = - \frac{2}{9}$

Price elasticity if demand is

$\frac{ \frac{2}{11} \%}{ - \frac{2}{9} \%} = - \frac{9}{11} = - 0.82$

The negative sign tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.

Since 0.82 is less than 1, the demand for candy bars is inelastic

Opinion: You have an opportunity to attend a four-year college for free. However, you are required to major in a career area tha

juin [17]

Answer:

I would go ahead and avail this opportunity. Although it is a wide spread phenomenon that one should only acquire a degree in a field which is at a boom and is possibly going to be successful in the future. But times keep changing. Fields and phenomenon which did not have a chance in the past have now become most successful with unfulfilled potential.

On the other hand, acquiring college education is a luxury. 4 years without paying for it is a chance that nobody should miss. You can come up with creative ideas to make that degree work. Besides, people do not actually get the jobs according to their degrees. So there is a possibility that I would land a job.

A difference between explicit and implicit costs is that a) explicit costs must be greater than implicit costs. b) explicit cost

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Implicit costs do not require a direct monetary outlay by the firm, whereas explicit costs do.

Explanation:

Rent, salary, and other operating expenses are considered explicit costs. They are all recorded within a firm's financial statements, meaning they are present and clearly shown or reported as a separate cost. The main difference between the two types of costs is that implicit costs are opportunity costs, meaning that it is present but it is not initially shown or reported as a separate cost, while explicit costs are expenses paid with a company's own tangible assets. In other words, explicit costs are always shown, implicit costs are not, at least initially, exactly like the meaning words suggest.
