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 unreliablearrow_forward1)If there is an increase in the price of tea by 10%. and the quantity demanded coffee increases by 2%, then find the cross elasticity of demand. 2) According to a Honda press release on October 23, 2006, sales of the fuel-efficient four-cylinder Honda Civic rose by 7.1% from 2005 to 2006. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline rose from $2.27 per gallon to $2.57 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Honda Civics and regular gasoline.
