Given: The ATV Company produces a specialty cement used in the construction of roads. ATV is a price-setting firm and estimates the demand for its cement using a demand function in the linear form: Q = f( P, M, PR) where Qc = demand for cement/month (in yards) Pc = the price of cement per yard, M = country's tax revenues per capita, and PR = the price of asphalt per yard. The manager of ATV obtained the following results in her attempt to estimate the demand for cement in the succeeding months. The results are presented below: DEPENDENT VARIABLE Qc R- SQUARE F-RATIO P-VALUE ONF OBSERVATIONS 64 0.8093 84.872 0.0001 PARAMETER STANDARD ERROR T- P-VALUE VARIABLE ESTIMATE RATIO INTERCEPT 8.20 4.01 2.04 0.0461 Pc -3.54 1.64 -2.16 0.0357 M 0.64287 0.19 3.38 0.0014 PA 0.7854 0.38 2.07 0.0439

It is known that the daily demand for theater plays is a function of ticket prices in the form Q = a-bP. While 400 seats were filled every day, the plays were played free of charge on March 27, World Theater Day, and a total of 1200 seats were filled. So what is the price elasticity of demand?
The long-run own-price elasticity for corn at the farm level is –0.372. Because of a late freeze in Iowa, corn production is expected fall by 16 percent. Regional corn prices are likely to:
The demand function for a certain make of ink-jet cartridge is the following where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. p= -0.02x² -0.2x+6 Compute the elasticity of demand when x = 11. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 0.22 Determine whether the demand is inelastic, unitary, or elastic when x = 11. elastic inelastic O unitary
The figure to the right illustrates the demand for taxi rides in a large city. Suppose the price per ride is initially $35 but then falls to $25 due to a recession. What is the price elasticity of demand for taxi rides? Using the midpoint formula, the price elasticity of demand is. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
