Recently, much of the Western United States experienced drought conditions and water usage was restricted in Denver. Yet, even though most people used less water, the price of water did not drop. When the drought was declared over, the water company raised water prices. However, the residents of Denver did not use less water. Here, water is:.
a. price insensitive.
b. price elastic.
c. price inelastic.
d. price sensitive.
e. unitary elastic.

Price inelastic.

Explanation:

In Denver as described in the question the demand for water is price inelastic as it doesn't change regardless of changes in price of water. An item is said to be price inelastic if the demand remains the same regardless of price rise or fall of that item.

all of them make sense but, i would have to say ask someone who has been there/or lives there, and/or read recent newspapers from that city.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
