(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
According to economic theory, the demand x for a quantity in a free market decreases as the price p increases (see the figure). Suppose that the number x of DVD players people are willing dx (A) Find 9,000 to buy per week from a retail chain at a price of $p is given by x = 10 sp<70. 0.3p + 1' dx Answer parts (A), (B), and (C). dp 4500- (B) Find the demand and the instantaneous rate of change of demand with respect to price when the price is $30. Write a brief interpretation of these results. The demand is x = when the price is $30. 2250- 9,000 The instantaneous rate of change of demand with respect to price is when the price is X = 0.3p + 1 $30. Write a brief interpretation of these results. p. 0- 40 80 At a price level of $30, the demand is DVD players per week and demand is Price (dollars) V at the rate of (C) Use the results from part (B) to estimate the demand if the price is increased to $31. Demand .....
Suppose that demand and supply of apples are described by the following equations: P = 100 - 3Q (demand) P = 20 + Q (supply) a) Calculate the equilibrium quantity.
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is
Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 29.0. When the price is $7.75, the quantity supplied of motorcycles is 65.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 103.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places.
Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: Price (Dollars) 8 10 12 14 16 Quantity of Pizzas Demanded (Income = $20,000) 40 32 24 16 8 Quantity of Pizzas Demanded (Income = $24,000) 50 45 30 20 12 Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increases from $8 to $10 is if your income is $24,000. If the price of a pizza is $12, your income elasticity of demand is pizza is $16, your income elasticity is if your income is $20,000 and as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However, if the price of a Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Problem 6: Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded Income = Rs. 20000 Quantity Demanded Income = Rs. 24000 Rs. 18 80 DVDs 100 DVDs 20 70 90 24 55 60 28 35 40 32 24 28 Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from Rs.24 to Rs.28 if (i) your income is Rs.20000 and (ii) your income is Rs.24000. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from Rs. 20,000 to $24,000 if (i) the price is Rs.18 and (ii) the price is Rs.20.
Suppose that you are a staff economist with an economic consulting firm. The operator of a local harbour has commissioned your firm to do a market analysis of the demand for berths (parking spaces) for boats. Your firm finds that the price elasticity of demand for berths is –0.8. If the price of a berth in the area decreases by 6%, how will the quantity of berths that people demand change? The number of berths demanded will: Increase by 0.8% Decrease by 7.5% Increase by 6% Increase by 4.8%
When an economist says that the demand for a product has increased, this means that: consumers are now willing to purchase more of this product at each possible price. the product has become particularly scarce for some reason. product price has fallen and as a consequence consumers are buying a larger quantity of the product. the demand curve has shifted to the left.
The Globe and Mail (December 16, 1997) reported that milk consumption declined following price increases: “Since the early 1980s, the price of milk in Canada has increased 22 per cent. As prices rose, the demand for milk fell off. Total [consumption] of milk on a per capita basis dropped . . . to 2.62 hectolitres in 1995 from 2.92 hectolitres in 1986.” 1.Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for milk. 2.According to your estimate, what happens to milk producers’ revenue when the price of milk rises? 3.Based on the information provided, why might your calculation of the elasticity be unreliable
