4. Graph the supply and demand curves and use the midpoint (averages) formula to calculate the respective price elasticities of supply and demand over the price range given. Then determine over what range of prices supply and demand are elastic, unit elastic, or inelastic. E₁ QS 2400 2200 1900 1500 1000 500 Price $14 12 10 8 6 4 QD ol 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 Ed
3. Suppose the price elasticity of demand for heating oil is 0.2 in the short run and 0.7 in the long run. a. if the price of heating oil rises from $1.80 to $2.20 per gallon, what happens to the quantity of heating oil demanded in the short run? In the long run? (Use the midpoint method in your calculations.) b. Why might this elasticity depend on the time horizon?
13. The table below gives part of the supply schedule for personal computers in the United States. Price Quantity Supplied before tech change Quantity Supplied after tech $1,100 $900 12,000 8,000 change 13,000 9,000 a) Calculate the price elasticity of supply when price rises from $900 to $1,100 using the arc elasticity formula (the midpoint method). b) Now suppose that technology changes such that at every price, 1000 more computers are supplied. Now, as prices rise from $900 to $1,100, is the elasticity of supply smaller than, larger than, or equal to the elasticity in part a)? c) Does the change in b) change the slope of the supply curve? Are slope and elasticity the same thing? Explain.
28. Suppose that Brock raises its tuition by 30% to pay for higher professor salaries2 An economics professor asks his students, "Due to the tuition increase, how many of you will transfer to another universiy or drop out?" One student out of every 2 says that he or she would transfer or drop out. Based on this information, the price elasticity of demand for education at this university is: (A) 1. (B) Elastic. (C) Inelastic. (D) Zero. 29. The government gives producers a tax of $200 per unit. This increases the price for consumers, from the equilibrium price of $1,300 to Pc=$1,350. What is the price for producers under the tax? (A) $1,550. (B) $1,150. (C) $1,050. (D) $1,450.
