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.)

Suppose that a large city has dozens of apartment complexes that are nearly identical in terms of size, age, and amenities. Assume the demand curve for an apartments at an individual complex is perfectly elastic. If the city places an excise tax on apartments, who will pay the tax? What will happen to the quantity demanded. Explain and show graphically. For graphical purposes, assume the supply of apartments is upward sloping.
Elastic, inelastic, and unit-elastic demand The following graph shows the demand for a good. For each region on the graph given in the following table, use the elasticity formula to identify whether the demand for this good is elastic, (approximately) unit elastic, or inelastic.

Suppose the price of good x has increased from Php5 to Php10 per unit. Using the illustration below (see attached image) 1.If the price of hamburger increases by 16% and the quantity demanded decreases by 6%, what is the price elasticity of demand? Is it elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic? 3. A 20 percent increase in Ramon’s income brings about a 30 percent decrease in the demand for locally made shoes. What is the income elasticity of demand? Is the good a normal good or an inferior good? Explain briefly your answer.
1. As a transit planner for the city of Miami, you must predict how many people ride the Miami Metrorail and how much money is generated from train fares. According to a recent study, the short-run elasticity of demand for Metrorail is 0.62 and the long- run elasticity is 1.59. The current ridership is 50,000 people per day. Suppose the city commission decides to increase fares by 10%. Predict the changes in train ridership over a one-month period and a five-year period. ANS: b. Over the one-month period, will total revenue increase or decrease? What will happen in the five-year period? ANS

Make a graphical presentation in Microsoft word of elasticity demand and elasticity supply of milk. Elasticity Demand of Milk: Milk demand is inelastic since it is a necessity (rather than a luxury), which means that people will buy the same amount regardless of price. Elasticity Supply of Milk: It is unlikely to produce much more milk, and because milk is a perishable good, it will go bad in a week or two. Producers cannot stockpile huge quantities of fresh milk because it would spoil, making the supply of fresh milk inelastic.
