10. A storm destroys half the fava bean crop. Is this event more likely to hurt fava bean farmers if the demand for fava beans is very elastic or very inelastic? Explain.

Sagot :

Answer:

The fava bean farmers will be harmed more if the demand for fava beans is elastic. If the demand for a good is elastic it means that the amount demanded is highly affected by price. Therefore when a storm damages the fava bean crop and lowers the amount supplied, the resulting change in price will lower demand by a disproportionately large amount.

Answer:

The fave bean farmers will be harmed more if the demand for fave beans is elastic. If the demand for a good elastic it means the the amount demanded is highly affected by the price.
