ANSWER THE FOLLOWING AND BASE ON THE FORMULA GIVEN IN THE IMAGE

 

1. Trek Inc., which sells bikes, changed the price of their foldable bikes from P3,000 to P3,500. As a
result, the quantity of their product sold went from 700 bikes to 500 bikes. Compute for the price
elasticity of demand
. Indicate whether the product’s demand is elastic or inelastic.


2. Miko is a collector of matchbox cars. He used to buy five (5) cars every payday. However, when
his income was raised from P17,000 to P20,000, he started to buy 10 cars. What is the income
elasticity of demand?

Income Elasticity of Demand
Percentage change in quantity demanded
Ep
Percentage change in income
Q2 - Q1
% Change in quantity =
x 10
(Q2 + Q1)/2
Iz - l1
x 100
(I2 + 11)/2
% Change in income =
Where:
Q2 = Current quantity
Qi= Previous quantity
Iz = Current income
1= Previous income
