Suppose a movie theater raises the price of popcorn 10 percent, but customers do not buy any less popcorn. What does this tell you about the price elasticity of demand? What will happen to total revenue as a result of the price increase?
Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizza increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 20,000 and (ii) your income is 24,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 20,000 to 24,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.
(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
If the price of a good or service increases and the total revenue received by the seller declines, is the demand for this good over this segment of the demand curve elastic or inelastic? Explain.
Estimates presented in Exhibit 5 show that Android users have a higher price elasticity of demand for apps in the Google Play Store than do iPhone users in the Apple App Store. Why might Android users tend to be more sensitive to app prices than iPhone users? What categories or types of apps (for example, games/social media) do you think have the highest price elasticities?

A 20% increase in income leads to a 10% decrease in the quantity of hot dogs demanded but the price of hot dogs doesn't change. From this information, we can assume: hot dogs are an inferior good and price elasticity of demand is less than 1. hot dogs are an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is infinite. hot dogs are an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is equal to zero. hot dogs are a normal good and price elasticity of demand is greater than 1
