It also means that a 33% off sale on emerald necklaces would bring about _________________ in the total revenue of the emerald necklace supplier. luxury item, a decrease necessity, an increase luxury item, an increase luxury item, no change necessity, no change

anything that says emeralds are a necessity when they are in fact a luxury

OpenStudy (serenity74):

OpenStudy (serenity74):

But you can eliminate it between A, C, and D

OpenStudy (serenity74):

But you can eliminate it between A, C, and D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

luxury item, no change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its elastic so there will be either a decrease or increase

OpenStudy (serenity74):

Yup. But think about how 33% sale will help/not help the SUPLLIER

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It will help increase? because consumers will impulse buy based off the ideal of a sale?

OpenStudy (serenity74):

Wat does Total Revenue stand for? I would love to give you the answer directly but I really don't want to get us in trouble.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so how would this affect the Suppliers. (Sorry had to re-help you on this, lost my train off thought)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

suppliers would trade supply for money. So the supplies would decrease? no its fine the ap class i'm convinced is designed to kill high school students

OpenStudy (serenity74):

XD Amen! XD But it's sales discount on the product.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but more consumers buy because they believe they are getting a deal

OpenStudy (serenity74):

Warmer.

OpenStudy (serenity74):

SO? The answer would be??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the luxury would increase total revenue but decrease supply, and the demand would increase ?

OpenStudy (serenity74):

Yuppppers (That's what I am thinking, it makes sense to me, wbu?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if its elastic then there are many substitutes?

OpenStudy (serenity74):

OpenStudy (serenity74):

I think you are right...not sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its very confusing

OpenStudy (serenity74):

life is very confusing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on i'll look at my book and lessons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its says you just do not need. Therefore, the good or service is a luxury item. The more substitutes an item has, the more elastic will be the demand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so eliminate a and b beacuse unless you walking everywhere you need those inelastic goods

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its milk because there are so many substitutes

OpenStudy (serenity74):

Hmmm Car Service has so many substititues as well if you think about it?
