Consider the following demand schedule. Price Quantity Demanded $25 $20 $15 $10 $5 20 40 60 80 100 Complete the following table by calculating the price elasticity of demand between specified points and indicating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic. (Hint: Use the midpoints formula.) Price Elasticity of Demand Interval From P = $25 to P = $15 From P = $25 to P = $20 From P = $20 to P = $10 From P = $20 to P = $15 Elastic, Inelastic, or Unit Elastic

Suppose the demand curve for a good is P = 10 - 2Q. Drawing the demand line and by calculating the point elasticity of demand, explain for which region of prices the demand will be a) Elastic b) Unit elastic c) Inelastic
1) Elasticity of Demand: a) Define and calculate price elasticity of demand using the mid-point method. b) Discuss the determinants of price elasticity of demand and their impact on the degree of elasticity. 21 c) Provide real-world examples illustrating the concept of price elasticity of demand.
Recently, in Smalltown, the price of Twinkle snack cakes fell from $1.80 to $1.50. As a result, the quantity demanded of Giggle snack cakes decreased from 210 to 170. What would be the appropriate elasticity to compute? Compute this elasticity. What does your answer tell you? The appropriate elasticity to calculate would be the price elasticity of demand. To calculate this List and explain the two determinates of the price elasticity of supply. c. Evaluate the following statement “If two items are complements in production, an increase in the price of production complement will increase the supply of the item in question.”
Suppose the accompanying table contains data on how many Veggie Delite sandwiches Subway is willing to sell each day at two different prices. Calculate the daily price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $5.00 to $7.50. Please round to the nearest hundredth. Price(per sandwich) Quantity supplied(sandwiches per day) $5.00 200,000 $7.50 210,000 a. Daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches = b. The daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is relatively Elastic or Inelastic Now consider how responsive Subway’s supply of Veggie Delite sandwiches is to changes in price on an annual basis instead of a daily basis. c. Compared to the daily value, the annual price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is likely to be more Inelastic or Elastic and the annual supply curve is likely Flatter or Steeper to be than the daily supply curve.
