2. With respect to each of the following changes, identify whether the demand curve will shift leftward or rightward. a) An increase in income (the good under consideration is an inferior good) b) A rise in the price of a complementary good c) A fall in the price of a substitute good d) A rise in the number of buyers
When the price of good Y increases from $2 to $3, the quantity demanded for good X decreases from 20 units to 10 units. Calculate 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?

S Suppose that the price of President's Choice macaroni and cheese decreased from $10 to $9 per case, and at the same time, the quantity of Kraft macaroni and cheese sold dropped from 198 to 132 cases. a) What is the cross-elasticity of demand between the two products?

If X has many close substitutes, there will be large substitution effects (what will theindifference curves look like?). -The demand curve is likely to be flat, with a small increase in price leading to a large decrease in demand.For a normal good, the IE reinforces the SE, causing demand to be flatter. -For an inferiorgood, the IE dampens the SE, leading to a steeper demand curve. Can someone graph the Demand curve for a normal good and an inferior I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Thanks Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
6. Assume electricity and battery are substitutes. An increase in the price of one will result in: A) A decrease in demand for the other B) A decrease in the quantity demanded of the other D) An increase in the quantity demanded of the other C) An increase in the demand for the other

Assume the market demand for tuna cans may be written as Qtc = 45 - 2 x Ptc + Psc+ 0.3y (where Ptc = price of tuna cans and Psc = price of sardine cans, and y = income). Further assume that both tuna cans and sardine cans sell for $1 and income is $25. Calculate cross - price elasticity for tuna cans and identify whether the goods are substitutes or complements.
4) Provide a simple definition of the price elasticity of demand and explain why knowing the price elasticity for her product is useful to the firm's manager.
What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65

B) The demand for shoes in general is more elastic than the demand for Nike shoes. C) The demand for luxuries is less elastic than the demand for necessities. D) The demand for a narrowly defined good is less elastic than the demand for a more broadly
2)The major determinants of a good's price elasticity of demand include a)the slope of the demand curve (whether it vertical, horizontal, downward‐sloping). b)the number of substitutes for the good that are available to consumers. c)the number of complements with which the good is jointly consumed. d)the prices of resources that are needed for the good's production. e)the slope of the supply curve (whether it is vertical, horizontal, upward‐sloping)
