Answer 1 |
The LAW OF DIMINISHING MARGINAL UTILITY means the utility of any product is decreased after consumption. |
Here additional lane is to be built. It means utility of previous lane will be as usual but now there will be option to use second lane also. So correct answer is- |
D. An additional lane of highway will always be worth its cost |
Answer 2 |
Variable cost changes with production. If there is no production then there is no variable cost. So sugar is variable cost. |
Answer 3 |
Elastic demand means sales will increase if sell price are decreased and vice versa. So here number of car parks has increased from 700 to 1000 when fee is decreased from $ 6 to $ 10. So the demand is elastic. |
Answer 4 |
Elastic demand means sales will increase if sell price are decreased and vice versa. So here number of tickets sold has increased from 10000 to 15000 when price is decreased from $ 40 to $ 30. So the demand is elastic. |
