5) A certain product has an (own) price elasticity that is elastic, and there is a decrease inthe revenue received. What change in the quantity demanded of a product is necessary to meet theconditions of each situation when there is a 15% increase in the price of that product? Be specific (andsuggest a number).
a. Based on these demand elasticity estimates, which fruit is most inelastically demanded? Which is most elastically demanded? b. For which of these fruits would a 10% drop in price cause an increase in total revenue from that sale of that fruit? c. If the government could offer “10% off” coupons for only three of these fruits, and it wanted to have the biggest possible effect on quantity demanded, which three fruits should get the coupons? d. Overall, the authors found that for the average fruit, the elasticity of demand was about -0.5. Is the demand for fruit elastic or inelastic? apple: -0.16 banana: -0.42 grapefruit: -1.02 grapes: -0.91 oranges: -1.14
(1 point) The demand function for a certain item is x = (p+2)ºe¯P Use interval notation to indicate the range of prices corresponding to elastic, inelastic, and unitary demand. NOTE: When using interval notation in WeBWork, remember that: You use 'inf' for ∞ and '-inf' for -∞. And use 'U' for the union symbol. a) At what price is demand of unitary elasticity? Price: b) On what interval of prices is demand elastic? Interval: c) On what interval of prices is demand inelastic? Interval:

Worldwide annual sales on smart phones over a two year period were approximately q=-5p+3090 million phones at the selling price of $p per phone. (a) obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand E. E=______ (b) in one of the years the actual selling price was $355 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? E=______ The demand is going (up/down) by about _____% per 1% increase in that price level.
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. What is the price elasticity of demand for taxi rides? Using the midpoint formula, the price elasticity of demand is. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Demand is unit-elastic inelastic elastic C Price (dollars per taxi ride) 60- 55- 50- 45- 40- 35- 30- 25- 20- 15- 10- 5- 0+ 0 A B D 40,000 80,000 120,000 160,000 200,000 240, Quantity (taxi rides per day)
Plz solve this Attached question sir ......plz
Can you help me with questions A, B, C,D, and E thank you!!
. Determinants of the price elasticity of demand Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of demand: • The availability of close substitutes • Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury • How broadly you define the market • The time horizon being considered A good without any close substitutes is likely to have relatively...........................( elastic/inelastic) demand, since consumers cannot easily switch to a substitute good if the price of the good rises. A good’s price elasticity of demand depends in part on how necessary it is relative to other goods. If the following goods are priced approximately the same, which one has the least elastic demand?(multiple choice) a) Sports car b) A heart valve for heart attack victims The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good. Organize the goods found in the following table by indicating which is likely to have the most elastic…
Suppose that the price elasticity of demand for a packet of cigar is -0.85 and the price elasticity of supply is 1.5 at market equilibrium. As a result of an increase on sales tax, the new equilibrium price rises by 15%. (a) What is the percentage change in quantity demanded of cigar? Show your calculation.
