Consider the market for a new DVD movie, where the price is initially $8 and 44 copies are sold per day at a superstore, as indicated in the figure to the right. The superstore is considering lowering the price to $4. ] What is the price elasticity of demand between these two prices (use the Midpoint Formula)? The price elasticity of demand is nothing. (Enter your response as a real number rounded to two decimal places.)
The figure to the right illustrates the demand for taxi rides in a large city. Suppose the price per ride is initially $50 but then falls to $35 due to a recession.

I am stuck on this problem, I don't know where to start. Could you give a step by step on how to figure this problem out. Thank you. There is an increase in demand of 100 units at each price and a decrease in supply of 100 units at each price. In the graph below, draw the new demand and supply lines. Instructions: Use the graphing tools, 'D2', 'S2', to plot the new demand and supply lines on the figure and then use the grid lines to determine the new equilibrium price and quantity.

Microeconomics homework question
12. The Vanier Cup, the finals of Canadian University football, was held on November 26, 2016 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario. The organizers learned a lot are already planning next year's event! Based on what they learned this year, they know that the demand function for tickets to the game will be given by q = 200, 000 - 10, 000p, where p is the price charged per ticket. The chief organizer for next year is an ambitious person who wants to set prices so as to maximize revenue. (b) Write down an expression for the inverse demand function (price as a function of quantity), total revenue (as a function of quantity), and marginal revenue (as a function of quantity). Find the quantity and price that generate maximum revenue. (c) Derive an expression for the elasticity of ticket demand with respect to price. (Hint: your elasticity should be a function of the price, p.) What is the value of the elasticity at the revenue-maximizing price (your answer for price from part b)?

Suppose you were shown a demand curve for bananas and were asked to calculate price elasticity of demand. After doing so, you come up with 1.67 (absolute value). A classmate was asked to derive price elasticity of demand on the identical demand curve and got 0. 75 (absolute value). A bit perplexed, your classmate asks the professor which answer is right? The professor checks both calculations and says, "They're both right." ls this possible? If so, how and why?

9. Application: Elasticity and hotel rooms The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Oceans Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Average American household income Roundtrip airfare from New Orleans (MSY) to Atlantic City (ACY) Room rate at the Meadows Hotel and Casino, which is near the Oceans Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.
