Suppose that during the past year, the price of a virtual reality headset rose from $4,700 to $4,980. During the same time period, consumer sales decreased from 397,000 to 289,000 headsets. Calculate the elasticity of demand between these two price-quantity combinations by using the following steps. After each step, complete the relevant part of the table with the appropriate answers. (Note: For decreases in price or quantity, enter values in the Change column with a minus sign.) Original Quantity Price $ $ New Average $ Change $ Percentage Change
Someone tells you the "absolute value" of the cross price elasticity of two substitutes like Coke and Pepsi is 2.40. Based on this information, what percent change in the price of Coke will cause the quantity demanded of Pepsi to increase by 3%.
What is the formula for measuring the price elasticity of supply? Es = (Click to select)percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in pricepercentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in incomepercentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price Suppose the price of apples goes up from $20 to $23 a box. In direct response, Goldsboro Farms supplies 1300 boxes of apples instead of 1200 boxes. Compute the coefficient of price elasticity (midpoints approach) for Goldsboro’s supply. Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. Es = Is its supply elastic, or is it inelastic? Supply is (Click to select)elasticinelastic.
When the price of good Y increases from $2 to $3, the quantity demanded for good X decreases from 20 units to 10 units. Using the Midpoint Method for Elasticity, what is the cross-price elasticity of demand between goods X and Y. (Round all decimal calculations to the closest ten-thousandths so your percentages are rounded to the closest hundredths; round your final answer to the closest hundredths.) Are goods X and Y complements or substitutes?
Suppose that during the past year, the price of a laptop computer fell from $2,950 to $2,450. During the same time period, consumer sales increased from 430,000 to 619,000 laptops. Calculate the price elasticity of demand between these two price–quantity combinations by using the following steps. After each step, complete the relevant part of the table with the appropriate answers. (Note: For decreases in price or quantity, enter values in the Change column with a minus sign.) Original New Average Change Percentage Change Quantity Price Step 1: Fill in the appropriate values for original quantity, new quantity, original price, and new price. Step 2: Calculate the average quantity by adding the original quantity and the new quantity and then dividing by 2. Do the same for the average price. Step 3: Calculate the change in quantity by subtracting the original quantity from the new quantity. Do…

. Determinants of the price elasticity of demand Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of demand: • The availability of close substitutes • Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury • How broadly you define the market • The time horizon being considered A good without any close substitutes is likely to have relatively...........................( elastic/inelastic) demand, since consumers cannot easily switch to a substitute good if the price of the good rises. A good’s price elasticity of demand depends in part on how necessary it is relative to other goods. If the following goods are priced approximately the same, which one has the least elastic demand?(multiple choice) a) Sports car b) A heart valve for heart attack victims The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good. Organize the goods found in the following table by indicating which is likely to have the most elastic…
The cross-price elasticity between the good sold in this market (call it X) and another good (Y) is εXY = –0.80. The cross-price elasticity between the good X and good Z, on the other hand, is εXZ = 1.50. Are X and Y substitutes, complements, or unrelated? How about X and Z? Explain.
Suppose the demand curve for a good is P = 10 - 2Q. Drawing the demand line and by calculating the point elasticity of demand, explain for which region of prices the demand will be a) Elastic b) Unit elastic c) Inelastic
In a study of the demand for automobiles in Canada, economists Blomqvist and Hassel distinguished between large and small cars and estimated the price and cross- price elasticities as well as the effects of the price of gasoline on the demands for small and large cars. Their results were as follows: a. C. New large cars New small cars d. Own price elasticity 1.26 2.30 Cross price elasticity 0.86 1.73 Elasticity with respect to gasoline price Note: The cross-price elasticities show that the demand for new small cars is more responsive to changes in the price of new large cars than the demand for new large cars is to changes in the price of new small cars. Do the cross-price elasticities have the expected sign? Briefly explain. b. If the price of new small cars went up by, say, 5 percent, by what percentage would new small car purchases change? {Note: In your answer to this and all of the remaining parts of this question, please indicate whether the change is an increase or a decrease.}…
Does this imply that ice cream and frozen yogurt are complements or substitutes and does that answer match your intuition for whether or not ice cream and frozen yogurt are complements or substitutes? If not, how can you account for the value of the cross price elasticity implied by the data?
