Answer:

The correct option is A: 3% decrease in the quantity demanded of pineapple.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand can be calculated by checking the percentage change in the quantity of a product demanded by consumers and divided by the percentage change in the price of the product. Hence, if the price elasticity is 0.75, this means that 0.75*4 = 3

Hence there will be a 3% decrease in the quantity demanded, because as price increases, the quantity demanded decreases when talking about price elasticity of demand.

Answer:

A) 3% decrease in the quantity demanded of pineapple.

Explanation:

We know that the demand curve is negative, which means that as price of a product increases, its demand will decrease.

In unitary elasticity(1) the change in demand means that the change in quantity demanded will be the same. A 0.75 elasticity will thus mean that the quantity demanded will change by a factor of 0.75 as compared to the change in price.  

Therefore when the price of pineapple increases by 4%, the quantity demanded will decrease by 4 * 0.75 = 3%

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Missing question: <em>The ability to declare bankruptcy increased the disagreement value of the city during negotiation with the unions</em>

Alternatives available to an agreement determine the terms of an agreement. If bankruptcy is been declared in a situation where the cities can manipulate  and evade much of their pension obligations owed to unions, such scenarios gives the city a much better alternative, if the favorable agreement with the city's unions and retirees emerge.

Answer:

The impacts of the fur trade on society in terms of economics, culture, technology, nature, and the government changed over the time.

Rockefeller never act unethically by the standards of his day or today´s.

There is nocontradiction between his personal and business ethics.

Explanation:

The fur trade was a vast commercial enterprise, which was at its peak for nearly 250 years, from the early 17th to the mid-19th centuries, sustained to satisfy the demand in an intensely competitive trade which opened exploration and settlement, financing missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between Europeans and Indigenous people.

Changing cultural in the fashion industry, has had a drastic evolution over the years, when a woman in the first half of the twentieth century , might be very proud to wear a fox stole with its head and feet intact but today, it would consider  that an ethical faux pas.

Ethics has become a major consideration for young people in their selection of work and career, who demand enshrined values in their business  model, a difference, contributing with their core values, conscience, and personality not just profit.By the standards of his day Rockefeller, a faithful, balanced and devout Christian, was not being unethical as he always followed his-time regulations and laws, although nowadays they are more severe.  He compensated all the things he did, if wrong, with his contributions to help people cope with any damage done. There is no contradiction behe did as he had been taught when he was younger that he should separate business from pleasure.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$1 or 100% of the tax

Explanation:

When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.

The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: When assessing the risks of investment, one should consider the political, economic, and legal risks of doing business in either Russia or Poland. The risk in Russia would probably be considered higher than the risk in Poland since Poland has been a member state of the European Union since 1 May 2004, with the Treaty of Accession 2003 signed on 16 April 2003 in Athens as the legal basis for Poland's accession to the EU.

Poland has already gained benefits and stability offered by the EU. Russia, by contrast, is still many years away from even being in a position to be considered by the EU for membership.

Explanation: A diligent investor wouldn't put a penny in a risky country.
