This question is a piece of cake! With that elasticity, it's clear more will be sold, but the price will spike too. I'm going with C, no doubt about it. Though I do wonder if the producers will use their newfound riches to buy a private jet or something.

Haha, more producer income? Time to start my own lemonade stand! But seriously, I think C is the way to go here. The price increase will outpace the rise in quantity, so more revenue all around.

Definitely, C is the answer. It's all about that price increase outpacing the rise in quantity.

Hmm, I'm not sure. 0.8 elasticity means supply is somewhat responsive to price changes. I guess C could be right, but I'm not convinced that producer incomes will necessarily rise. Guess I better brush up on my economics before the exam.

Well, this seems straightforward. With a price elasticity of supply of 0.8, I'd say option C is the correct answer. Price will rise more than proportionately, and more will be spent on the good. Sounds like a win-win for the producers!

That's true, and more will be spent on the good as well. Looks like the producers will benefit from this increase in demand.

I think you're right, option C makes sense. The price will definitely rise more than proportionately.
