Assume that Pottery Barn decides to adjust their price slightly a few months from now by increasing the current price (found in the table just below the scenario text) by $225.  In response, assume that demand for their sofas decreased by 4 units during that month from their original monthly unit sales (also in the table just below the scenario text).  Based on all of this information, calculate the price elasticity of demand for these sofas.    As a summary: Old Price = $975; New Price = $1,200 Old Quantity = 32; New Quantity = 28

“Americans faced an overwhelming task after the Civil War and emancipation: how to understand the tangled relationship between two profound ideas – healing and justice…These two aims are never developed in historical balance. One might conclude that this imbalance between outcomes of sectional healing and racial justice was simply America’s inevitable historical condition…But theories of inevitability…are rarely satisfying…The sectional reunion after so horrible a civil war was a political triumph by the late nineteenth century, but it could not have been achieved without the resubjugation of many of those people whom the war had freed from centuries of bondage.
