If the current price elasticity of demand for apples is -50, what will be the change in sales (i.e., total revenue) after a 20% price increase? Please show your calculation.
A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control looked at the relationship between the price of beer and the incidence of new cases of STD's. The report concluded that a beer tax increase of $.20 could reduce overall STD rates by 8.9%. Assume that a six pack cost $5.90 before the price increase. Calculate the cross price elasticity between beer and STD's. What is the sign of this cross-price elasticity? According to your estimate, are beer and STD's compliments or substitutes? Does your answer make sense? Explain.

The demand for Widgets (QX) is a function of the price of widgets (PX), the price of woozles (PY), and per capita income (1): QX = 1950 - 10 PX + 5 PY-0.11 Currently, PX = 25, PY = 10, and 1 = 15,000. (a) Calculate the elasticity of demand for widgets with respect to its own I price, the price of woozles, and income. (b) Over what range of prices is the demand for widgets elastic? (c) If the cost per widget is 10 and the manufacturer behaves as a monopolist, how many widgets will be sold and at what price: (d) By how much must the price of widgets change if there is a 1% decrease in per capita income and the goal is to keep QX constant.
