b) inelastic

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price. This index indicates what the percentage change in quantity demand would be with a given % change in price.

Elastic demand

A product is said to be price elastic if a change in price produces more than a proportional change in quantity. In such case, a reduction in price will increase revenue.. It is a good pricing policy to reduce price if the demand for a product is established to be price elastic.

Inelastic demand

An inelastic demand implies that a given change in price will produce less than proportional change in quantity demand. So here, revenue will increase more only with an increase in price. This is so beca]use, cunsumers demand will react less to a given change in price. So the appropriate pricing policy is to increase price if the demand for a product is known to be price inelastic.

From the explanation above, it can be established that the demand for play performance ticket is price inelastic

Answer from: inneedofhelp6237

Inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand for a particular product is a measure of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the product. Generally when price increases there is a decrease in the quantity demanded of a product.

When demand is elastic it gives normal results.

However when demand is inelastic an increase in price will not lead to a proportional decrease in demand.

The Broadway play company can increase prices and notice a low reduction in quantity demanded (that is from a full theatre to a three quarter theatre).

This indicates that the reduction in quantity demand is small relative to price as they make more profit by raising price.

1. consider a two-firm industry. firm 1 (the incumbent) chooses a level of output qı. firm 2 (the potential entrant) observes qı and then chooses its level of output q2. the demand for the product is p 100 q, where q is the total output sold by the two firms which equals qi +q2. assume that the marginal cost of each firm is zero. a) find the subgame perfect equilibrium levels of qi and q2 keeping in mind that firm 1 chooses qi first and firm 2 observes qi and chooses its q2. find the profits of the two firms-n1 and t2- in the subgame perfect equilibrium. how do these numbers differ from the cournot equilibrium? b) for what level of qi would firm 2 be deterred from entering? would a rational firm 1 have an incentive to choose this level of qi? which entry condition does this market have: blockaded, deterred, or accommodated? now suppose that firm 2 has to incur a fixed cost of entry, f> 0. c) for what values of f will entry be blockaded? d) find out the entry deterring level of q, denoted by q1', a expression for firm l's profit, when entry is deterred, as a function of f. for what values of f would firm 1 use an entry deterring strategy?
