Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
What are the major determinants of a products price elasticity of demand? Studies indicate that the demand for Florida oranges, Bayer aspirin, watermelons, and airfares to Europe are elastic. Why?
Prove that price elasticity of demand is not the same as the slope of a demand curve.
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?
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.
The quantity demanded of good X rises from 130 to 145units as income rises from 2,000 to 2,500 a month. What is the income elasticity of demand for good X?
Suppose the own-price elasticity of demand for beef is -0.8 and the own-price elasticity of supply of beef is 0.9. Due to a newly introduced government policy, beef supply increases by 2% with no change in the demand for beef. Assuming that the current price for beef is 40/cwt and the quantity bought and sold is 2,000 cwt per day, find the new equilibrium price and quantity of beef (round your answers to two decimal places).
Someone tells you the "absolute value" of the cross price elasticity of two substitutes like Coke and Pepsi is 2.40. Based on this information, what percent change in the price of Coke will cause the quantity demanded of Pepsi to increase by 3%.
Suppose the price of color print film has recently risen by 10% due to an increase in the cost of silver that is used to make film. As a result, less film is being sold in the camera store where you work. You do some checking and find that camera sales are down by 4% too. What is the cross- price elasticity of demand for cameras and film ? Are these two goods complement goods or substitute goods?
If a 10% decrease in the price of beef increases the quantity demanded of beef by 15% and decreases the quantity demanded of chicken by 20%, calculate the cross elasticity of demand between beef and the chicken.
please can you answer my questions
Consider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles is
