I'm too confused about this one.
I'd posted this previously but once again, no one bothered to reply :(
What I think is as the demand is inelastic, the supplier would not decrease his price fully by the amount.
Instead, he would decrease the price slightly i.e by 5 cents and keep other 5 cents with him as his profit.
So the answer will be 15 - 5 = 10.
PS : I'm not sure though. :p

26 Why is a deficit on the current account of the balance of payments in economies with freely
floating exchange rates often thought to be an economic problem?

A It implies a net outflow of capital from the economy.

B It involves borrowing from abroad.

C It leads to increases in unemployment.

D It results in a loss of foreign exchange reserves.

over here you chose B but it is wrong as it it not entirely true as demand did not increase in ALL of the 4 countries....but as for option C you can clearly see that in 2004 fixed lines were more demanded in each conntry
I seriously need to go for an eye check-up.. :(
Anyways, thank you :)

Is it B?
