1. Work out the Price Elasticity of Demand for each, and comment on your result. a) The price of a smartphone is currently £200, and the quantity demanded is 4m. Next year the price falls to £180 and the quantity demanded rises to 6m. b) The price of pens today is £1, and the quantity demanded is 1m. Next year the price rises to £1.10 and the quantity demanded falls to 950,000. c) The price of a daily newspaper today is £1.50p, and the quantity demanded is 2m. Next year the price falls by 30p and the quantity demanded rises to 2.2m

Calculate the Elasticity Coefficient for the following scenario. Patty bakes pies, she sells them for $10 each and sells about 55 pies per week. But the price of her ingredients increased so she' s contemplating a price increase. She will raise the price to $12 and she estimates her demand will fall to 50 pies per week.

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 ____.
