The answer is 12.5 .
Marginal Value can be expressed as MR = dTR/dQ ,
dTR with respect to dQ is the first derivative of the total revenue function.
This formula of MR is very useful when the demand function has a known constant price elasticity.
So, here it becomes mr =price/elasticity
=20/1.6 =12.5
Question : Which one is not the type of elasticity of demand?
Option 1: Price elasticity of demand
Option 2: Income elasticity of demand
Option 3: Cross elasticity of demand
Option 4: Consumer elasticity of demand
Question : The elasticity of demand for price is:
Option 1: Elasticity = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in time
Option 2: Elasticity = Percentage change in price/Percentage change in demand
Option 3: Elasticity = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in supply
Option 4: Elasticity = Percentage change in supply/Percentage change in price
Question : Assertion: When the price of a product increases by 10%, and the quantity demanded decreases by 20%, the price elasticity of demand is 0.5.
Reason: Price elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
Option 1: Both the assertion and reason are correct and related.
Option 2: Both the assertion and reason are correct but not related.
Option 3: The assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect.
Option 4: The assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct.
