b) Price elasticity of demand: P₁ = $150, P₂ = $230, Q₁ = 4,000, Q₂ = 2,000. Use the midpoint formula for percent change and show all your work, then complete these sentences: ● %, When the price rose the Quantity demanded fell So demand is relatively The price elasticity of demand = %. (elastic or inelastic)
Assume that the demand curve is a straight line. If the price per unit of a good rises from $6 to X1, it is expected that monthly demand will fall from X2 units to 1,000,000 units. Give your own appropriate X1 and X2. What is the point price elasticity of demand when the price is $6? What is the arc price elasticity of demand over these ranges of price and output? Is the demand for this good price sensitive?
1. Suppose you are given the following information about the demand for vinyl records: P = 60 – 1.5QD a) Suppose the price increases from $15 to $30, what is the arc elasticity of demand? b) Suppose the price decreases from $30 to $ 15, what is the arc elasticity of demand? c) How does you answer from part (a) and (b) compare with the point elasticity of demand when price is $15? What about when price is $30?
In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations: P=50 – 0.5QD QS= -20 + 2P where, P is the price in pounds, QS is the quantity supplied and QD is the quantity demanded. 1. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? 2. What is the price elasticity at a price of £35? 3. What do you expect will happen to total expenditure on this good if the price increases from £35 to £40? Is this expectation confirmed if you calculate the total revenue for each price?
Investigate how demand elasticities are affected by increases in demand. Apply the midpoint formula to calculate the demand elasticities. (a) (b) Instructions: In parts a, b, and c, round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answers as a positive value (absolute value). a. The elasticity of demand for D, between points a and b is 1.80. Given 1 the shift in demand, the elasticity between points a and b in Figure a = b. The elasticity of demand for D, between points c and d is 0.56. Given the shift in demand, the elasticity between points c and d in Figure b = c. In terms of the midpoint formula, what explains the change in elasticities? Compare the elasticities in this problem to those found in the original demand curves. If we compare the elasticities, we can see that an increase in quantity at every price the elasticity. The percentage change in quantity is sr llero. given the higher quantity purchased at every price. Investigate how demand elasticities are affected by…
Elasticity Suppose that the price of product A decreases from $22 to $18 and, as a result, the quantity purchased of A increases from 200 to 250, the quantity purchased of B increases from 50 to 60 and the quantity purchased of product C falls from 600 to 550. What is the price elasticity of demand of product A? ( What is the cross-elasticity of product A for product B? What is the cross-elasticity of product A for product C?
