Assume that when the price of cantaloupes is $2.50 the demand for cantaloupes is unit-elastic, and that the demand curve for cantaloupes is linear and downward sloping. If firms lower the price of cantaloupes to $2.00 which of the following statements can be made regarding the price elasticity of demand for cantaloupes? O The demand for cantaloupes at $2.00 must be inelastic. We cannot determine whether the demand for cantaloupes is elastic or inelastic without knowing what the quantity demanded is at each price. O The demand for cantaloupes at $2.00 must be elastic. O The demand for cantaloupes at $2.00 must be unit-elastic.

The owner of a local bakery shop observes that when he increases the price of Italian bread, his total revenue decreases, and when he lowers the price of Italian bread, his total revenue increases. This suggests that: Italian bread buyers act irrationally. the demand for Italian bread is elastic with respect to price. there are few good substitutes for Italian bread. O the demand for Italian bread is inelastic with respect to price.
Use the following demand curve for hamburgers: QD = 1,650 – 50PHB +100PHD + 6INC where QD is quantity demanded for hamburgers, PHB is price of a hamburger, PHD is price of a hot dog, and INC is consumer income.

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.
