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.
On the graph to the right, show the elastic and inelastic portions of a linear demand curve. 1.) Using the double-arrow line drawing tool, show the elastic region of the demand curve by drawing a line segment on top of the portion of the curve that is elastic. Label this line 'Elastic. 2.) Using the double-arrow line drawing tool, show the inelastic region of the demand curve by drawing a line segment on top of the portion of the curve that is inelastic. Label this line 'Inelastic. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Price per unit ($) 50 45 40 35- 30- 25 20 15- 10- 54 0 0 Demand 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 Quantity per unit of time Q Q G
In the figure below, which of the following statements is true regarding elasticity? Graph of elasticity. The x axis is quantity and the y axis is price. There is one downward sloping lineIn the figure below, which of the following statements is true regarding elasticity? the upper part (when price is higher) of a demand curve is considered more elastic. the upper part (when price is higher) of a demand curve is considered unit elastic. the upper part (when price is higher) of a demand curve is considered more inelastic.
Using the graph, complete the table that follows by indicating whether each statement is true or false. Statement Curve NN is less elastic between points A and D than curve MM is between points A and C. Between points A and E, curve 00 is unit elastic. Between points A and C, curve MM is inelastic. True False O O

10. Problems and Applications Q10 Consider public policy aimed at smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.2. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $5 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 10%, it should increase the price by If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, the effect on smoking 1 year from now will be from now. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than do adults. Which of the following statements are consistent with this result? Check all that apply. 00 Adults are more likely to be addicted to cigarettes. smaller Teenagers do not have as much income as adults, so they are more price sensitive. larger It is legal for adults to consume alcohol, so many choose to spend their money on that good rather than cigarettes. % than the effect 5 years
