The short-run price elasticity of demand will be inelastic and the short-run price elasticity of supply will be inelastic.

Elasticity of demand measures the relationship that exists between price and quantity demanded.

Elasticity of supply measures how quantity supplied changes when there is a change in the price of a good.

<u><em>Types of elasticity.</em></u>

  1. Elastic demand (supply): This means that demand (supply) is sensitive to price changes
  2. Inelastic demand (supply): this means that demand (supply) does not respond to price changes. The coefficient of elasticity is less than one.
  3. Unit elastic demand (supply): demand (supply) changes in equal proportion. The coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.

<em><u>Factors that affect elasticity </u></em>

  1. The number of substitutes the good has: the more substitutes the good has, the more elastic demand is.  
  2. The length of time: demand (supply) is inelastic in the short run. In the short run, producers (consumers) do not have enough time to find suitable substitutes.  In the long run, producers would have more time to search for suitable substitutes or shift to the production of other goods when compared with the short-run.
  3. Ease of entry or exit into an industry: the more easy it is for firms to enter into an industry, the more elastic supply would be.

Vinny and Sandra have just had their first baby, and need to make a decision about how to handle work and child‑care responsibil
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

A. 600

B. 0

C. 0

D. -1100

E. -1000

Explanation:

For part A you are asked to find the change in GDP with the addition of paying a babysitter $600. The GDP beforehand was the total income from both Vinny and Sandra which is $1200 + $1000 = $2200. For these questions, you are being asked to find a change in GDP which would simply be the addition of $600. Similiary, for part B there is no change in GDP because they do not pay Sandra's mother, so the change in GDP is 0. For part C, since the payments are not reported, there is no change in GDP. Part C can be thought of as a reference to the shadow market and GDP from the shadow market is not recorded. Part D has a negative 1100 because they each go back to work part-time, Vinnie earning $500 per week and Sandra earning $600. The change in GDP would be negative because they are losing 1100 in order to care for a new child. For part E, Vinnie gives up all his income which would normally amount to $1000 per week. The change in GDP is therefore negative.
