Suppose that during the past year, the price of a virtual reality headset rose from $4,700 to $4,980. During the same time period, consumer sales decreased from 397,000 to 289,000 headsets. Calculate the elasticity of demand between these two price-quantity combinations by using the following steps. After each step, complete the relevant part of the table with the appropriate answers. (Note: For decreases in price or quantity, enter values in the Change column with a minus sign.) Original Quantity Price $ $ New Average $ Change $ Percentage Change

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. fell by 14% in 2015. The number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) sold in the U.S. fell by 36% in the same year. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for HEVs and gasoline. Round answer to one place after the decimal.
The demand function for a certain make of ink-jet cartridge is the following where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. p= -0.02x² -0.2x+6 Compute the elasticity of demand when x = 11. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 0.22 Determine whether the demand is inelastic, unitary, or elastic when x = 11. elastic inelastic O unitary
Suppose that during the past year, the price of a laptop computer fell from $2,950 to $2,450. During the same time period, consumer sales increased from 430,000 to 619,000 laptops. Calculate the price elasticity of demand between these two price–quantity combinations by using the following steps. After each step, complete the relevant part of the table with the appropriate answers. (Note: For decreases in price or quantity, enter values in the Change column with a minus sign.) Original New Average Change Percentage Change Quantity Price Step 1: Fill in the appropriate values for original quantity, new quantity, original price, and new price. Step 2: Calculate the average quantity by adding the original quantity and the new quantity and then dividing by 2. Do the same for the average price. Step 3: Calculate the change in quantity by subtracting the original quantity from the new quantity. Do…
The figure to the right illustrates the demand for taxi rides in a large city. Suppose the price per ride is initially $35 but then falls to $25 due to a recession.

a. a. Suppose that a small market Major League Baseball team currently charges $12 for a ticket. At this price, they are able to sell 12,000 tickets to each game. If they raise ticket prices to $15, they would sell 11,053 tickets to each game. What is the price elasticity of demand at $12? If the demand curve is linear, what is the algebraic expression for demand?
Suppose income increases by 25 percent and, as a result, the quantity of a particular brand of automobile demanded (holding the price for this particular automobile constant) increases by 39 percent. The income elasticity of demand for this brand of car is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places and include a minus sign if appropriate.)
When income increases by 10 percent (or numerically, 0.1), quantity demanded moves by 168 units. Assuming the income elasticity of demand is 4. What is the original quantity demanded? (assuming further that this is the point elasticity relative to the original point.) Please make sure you give a numerical answer with no units and/or space or period (.) or comma (,) before or after your answer. Enter your answer here
Suppose demand is given by the equation Q = 40 - 3P. Using the point-slope formula, what is the price elasticity of demand at a price of $4? Include a negative sign if applicable, and round your answer to two decimal places.
