Given the demand function, P = A*Q^1/E; where p = price, q = quantity demanded, E = elasticity and , A = constant... How do I show E is constant? I tried to use the formula E = dQ/dP * P/Q, but ended up with the following. E = dQ/dP * P/Q or 1/E = dP/dQ * Q/P E = d[(P/A)^E]/dP * P/Q E = [(1/A^E)*(E*P^(E-1)] * P / (P/A)^E [NOTE: P/P = 1] E = (E)*(P^E-1) / (A^E) * A^E [Note: A^E/A^E = 1] E = E*P^E-1

Demand studies in health care have provided estimates of both income and price elasticity. Estimates of income elasticity are usually above +1.0 and estimates of price elasticity typically range between −0.1 and −0.75 (with hospital services at the lower end and elective services at the upper end). What is the significance of these estimates to policy makers?
Please helo me with this question There are 50 residents that live in a small town in California. Each resident uses electricity and there is one power station that produces electricity for the residents from coal. Each residents' demand for electricity is Q = 10 - 2P and the supply function for the power plant is Q = 150P. For each unit of electricity that the power station produces, there is a corresponding release of pollution that leads to asthma and other health problems for the 50 residents. The marginal damage of each unit of electricity produced, per person, is $.05. a. What is the market equilibrium price and quantity per unit of electricity? b. What is the efficient Pigouvian tax per unit of pollution? c. The government of this small California town decides to impose the efficient Pigouvian per unit tax on the power station. What is the new social optimum price and quantity per unit of electricity? d. What is the government tax revenue? e. What is the gain in total…

Demand for medical services is price inelastic (Absolute value of price elasticity of demand is less than 1 and greater than zero). Medical services are different from most other goods and services in that the person who determines the demand (the patient) is not the person who makes the payment (payment is made by the insurance company). How does this affect the price elasticity of demand for medical services (increase it or decrease it)? You may assume that this question only refers to people who have health insurance. Ignore co-payments and deductibles and any other out-of-pocket expenses. Please give an explanation.
