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.) Demand is unit-elastic inelastic elastic C Price (dollars per taxi ride) 60- 55- 50- 45- 40- 35- 30- 25- 20- 15- 10- 5- 0+ 0 A B D 40,000 80,000 120,000 160,000 200,000 240, Quantity (taxi rides per day)
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.

INFO: Yesterday, the price of envelopes was $3 a box, and Julie was willing to buy 10 boxes. Today, the price has gone up to $3.75 a box, and Julie is now willing to buy 8 boxes. What is Julie’s elasticity of demand? _____ (Hint: only a number goes here) Is Julie's demand for envelopes elastic or inelastic? Explain your answer in a complete sentence(s) here:
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
The price of gasoline is usually a lot higher at gas stations located very close to a highway than in towns located a few miles away. List two reasons (determinants of elasticity) that explain this:
