There are two techniques of egg production: free range (where hens roam around the farm) or factory (where hens are fed and watered in wire cages). The free range technique has a much more elastic supply curve than the factory technique. When the demand for eggs falls:. a. egg production falls by a smaller percentage in the factory technique than in the free range technique.

b. egg production falls by a larger percentage in the factory technique than in the free range technique.

c. the production using both techniques falls by the same percentage.

d. the factory egg producers supply curve shifts inward.

e. the free range egg producers supply curve shifts inward.

a. egg production falls by a smaller percentage in the factory technique than in the free range technique.

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply is defined as the degree of responsiveness of supply to changes in price. Highly elastic supply responds more to change in price than low elastic supply.

In the given scenario where eggs are produced using factory and free range techniques, as demand falls price consumers are willing to pay also falls.

Since factory technique has a lower elasticity of supply, the fall in supply as a result of fall in price will be small.

However the fall in supply of free range will be higher because of its higher elasticity

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.

hi,

henry is an economist and wants to understand the relationship between inflation and consumer spending habits. for his research, he needs the consumer price index for 2014 and the inflation rate. based on the prices of goods given, what will he find to be the cpi and inflation rate for 2014? assume that a consumer’s basket for three consecutive years consists of the following:

you dont privide answer choices.

answer - 15% of a inflatation rate is 15% less in cpi
