Attempts9. Application: Elasticity and hotel roomsThe following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Lakes Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. To help the hotelmanagement better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demandfactors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool.PRICE (Dollars per room)Demand FactorAverage American household incomeRoundtrip airfare from New Orleans (MSY) to Atlantic City (ACY)Room rate at the Mountaineer Hotel and Casino, which is near the LakesUse the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions.

Problem Number 8 Economics: Elasticity of Demand for DVD Rentals. The demand for DVD rentals at Klix Video is given by q= D(x) = 120 - 20x, where q is the number of DVDs rented per day at x dollars per rental. Find each of the following. a) The elasticity as a function of x b) The elasticity at x = 2 and at x = c) The value of x for which E(x) = 1. Interpret the meaning of this price. d) The total-revenue function, R(x) = (x) D(x) e) The price x at which total revenue is a maximum 4. Interpret the meaning of these values of the elasticity.

According to the Law of Elasticity, there are elastic and inelastic markets. If we relate this concept to pricing, under what type of market will it be favorable for us to decrease our price? On the other hand, what type of market will favor an increase in price? Explain
Please answer this question asap I will rate you for sure. Answer must be in typed format Suppose that as the price of Y falls from $3.00 to $2.80, the quantity of Y demanded increases from 200 to 210 . Then the absolute value of the price elasticity (using the midpoint formula ) is approximately.

DINKs are households with "double income, no kids", and such households are invading your neighbourhood. You decide to take advantage of this influx by starting a gourmet take-away food store. Assume that these DINKs in your neighbourhood are your only potential customers.You know that the price elasticity of demand for your food from DINKs is 0.5, and their income elasticity of demand is 1.5.From the standpoint of the quantity that you sell, explain which of the following changes would concern you most.First, the number of DINKs in your neighbourhood falls by 10 percent.Second, the average income of DINKs falls by 5 percent.
