Elaine, a small grocer, is planning to cut certain prices to increase her sales revenues. What will be the likely result of a price decrease for matches, a good for which the demand is inelastic, and a price decrease for fresh green tomatoes, an item for which consumer demand is elastic?

Quantity demanded of matches will remain unchanged, Quantity demanded of tomatoes will rise

Explanation:

Law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price of a good and it's quantity demanded, keeping other factors affecting demand as constant.

Price elasticity of demand refers to degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good with respect to a change in it's price.

In the given case, price elasticity of demand for matches is inelastic since requirement of matches is fixed and consumer won't buy additional matches if the price is reduced.  Thus a price decease will not increase the quantity demanded of matches.

On the other hand, tomatoes have various uses and thus, their demand is elastic. So if price of tomatoes drops, the quantity demanded of tomatoes would rise, keeping other factors affecting demand as constant.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
