. Suppose that Brock raises its tuition by 30% to pay for higher professor salaries.2 An economics professor asks his students, “Due to the tuition increase, how many of you will transfer to another universiy or drop out?” One student out of every 2 says that he or she would transfer or drop out. Based on this information, the price elasticity of demand for education at this university is: (A) 1. (B) Elastic. (C) Inelastic. (D) Zero.

20 Given the demand equation x = 4 + where p represents the price in dollars and x the number of units, determine the elasticity of demand when the price p is equal to $5. Р Elasticity of Demand = Therefore, demand is O elastic O unitary O inelastic when price is equal to $5 and a small increase in price will result in O a decrease in total revenue. O little to no change in total revenue. O an increase in total revenue.

Demand (2) Elastic Inelastic Unit Elastic 1 True or False: The value of the price elasticity of demand is not equal to the slope of the demand curve.
4. Which of the following statements is (are) correct? (x) When quantity supplied responds very little to changes in price, supply is said to be inelastic. (y) If the quantity supplied changes substantially when the price of the good changes a small amount, then the coefficient of price elasticity of supply is a number larger than one and supply is elastic. (z) Holding all else constant, if a paper manufacturer increases production by 12 percent when the market price of paper increases by 15 percent, then the price elasticity of supply must be inelastic since the coefficient of price elasticity of supply is equal to 0.80.
