1. (Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of $1 per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve

A 10% change in price causes reduction by 10 units.

Explanation:

Elasticity can be solved by:

Change in quantity demanded / price change

Price change = $(1-0.20)

Change in quantity demanded = 70 - 50 = 20

So elasticity = 20/80 = 0.25

So we have that a 20 percent change in price causes reduction in quantity by 20 units. In line with this, a 10 % rise in price would make quantity to reduce by 10 units.

Thank you!

make them bite soap instead of you lol

there's 11 people for the 1st position. then, no matter who gets it, there's only 10 left for the second, and then 9 left for the third. 11 x 10 x 9 = 990.   the answer is there are 990 different ways the positions can be filled by these applicants
