6. Elasticity and total revenue The following graph shows the daily demand curve for bikes in San Francisco. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. *graph 1* On the following graph, use the green point (triangle symbol) to plot the annual total revenue when the market price is $30, $45, $60, $75, $90, $105, and $120 per bike. *graph 2* According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately ___ . Suppose the price of bikes is currently $30 per bike, shown as point B on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is ___ , a $15-per-bike increase in price will lead to ___ in total revenue per day. In general, in order for a price decrease to cause a decrease in total revenue, demand must be ____.
I. II. 6) The accompanying table shows the price and yearly quantity sold of souvenir T-shirts in the town of Pokhara, Nepal according to the average income of the tourists visiting. Price Quantity Demanded when Quantity Demanded when Income=20,000 Income 30,000 4 5 6 7 3000 2400 1600 800 5000 4200 3000 1800 Using the midpoint method, calculate the income elasticity of demand when the price of a T-shirt is 4 Nepalese Rupees and the average tourist income increases from 20,000 to 30,000 rupees. Also calculate it when the price is 7 rupees. Also answer the following questions for each cases ● The demand for this product is income elastic / income inelastic. ● Based on this information, T-shirts would be considered as (luxuries / necessities) Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand when the price of a T-shirt rises from 5 to 6 rupees and the average tourist income is 20,000. Also calculate it when the average tourist income is 30,000.
