The following graph shows the supply of a good. Region Elastic Inelastic Between W and X Between Y and Z True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further. True False
Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 29.0. When the price is $7.75, the quantity supplied of motorcycles is 65.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 103.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places.

The following graph shows the demand for a good. PRICE (Dollars per unit) 210-- 135 105 30 0 4 Z I 14 X 18 QUANTITY (Units) I II 28 W Demand ? For each of the regions listed in the following table, use the midpoint method to identify if the demand for this good is elastic, (approximately) unit elastic, or inelastic.
. Determinants of the price elasticity of demand Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of demand: • The availability of close substitutes • Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury • How broadly you define the market • The time horizon being considered A good without any close substitutes is likely to have relatively...........................( elastic/inelastic) demand, since consumers cannot easily switch to a substitute good if the price of the good rises. A good’s price elasticity of demand depends in part on how necessary it is relative to other goods. If the following goods are priced approximately the same, which one has the least elastic demand?(multiple choice) a) Sports car b) A heart valve for heart attack victims The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good. Organize the goods found in the following table by indicating which is likely to have the most elastic…
p = 3 +0.5Q s What is the elasticity of supply? (P=10, Q=14)

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.
Q. Wilpen Company, a price-setting firm, produces nearly 80 percent of all tennis balls purchased in the United States. Wilpen estimates the U.S. demand for its tennis balls by using the following linear specification: Q = a + bP + cM + dPR. Where Q is the number of cans of tennis balls sold quarterly, P is the wholesale price Wilpen charges for a can of tennis balls, M is the consumers’ average household income, and PR is the average price of tennis rackets. The regression results are as follows: a- Discuss the statistical significance of the parameter estimates a^, b^, c^, and d^ using the p-values. Are the signs of b^, c^, and d^ consistent with the theory of demand? Wilpen plans to charge a wholesale price of $1.65 per can. The average price of a tennis racket is $110, and consumers’ average household income is $24,600. b. What is the estimated number of cans of tennis balls demanded? c) At the values of P, M, and Pr given, what are the estimated values of the price (E^), income…
51 Quantity Price Demanded i of $40 220 $60 180 The table above shows the change in quantity demanded when the price of a good increases from $40 to $60. Using the mid-point formula, we can calculate the price elasticity of demand for this good to be: Select one: а. 0.25 b. 0.50 C. 1.25 d. 2.00
The table below gives part of the supply schedule for Starbucks coffee: Price of Coffee (per cup) Quantity of Coffee Supplied $3.50 12,000 $2.00 8,000 Calculate the price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $2.00 to $3.50 using the arc-elasticity method. Is it elastic or inelastic?
The demand for hamburgers is given by Qd=10-p and the supply is Qs=4p-10, where pd and ps are, respectively the price paid by demanders and the price received by suppliers. A: Draw the demand and supply functions. What is the price-elasticity of demand? What is the price-elasticity of supply? B: Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. C: Suppose due to the rising health awareness the demand decreases to Q d=5-p. Find the new equilibrium prices and quantity, and show them on the graph. D: Suppose that the demand and supply are as before, i.e. Qd=10-p and Qs=4p-10, but now the government imposes a quantity tax on the suppler at the rate of 1 per unit of the quantity. What quantity will be sold and what price? E: In part d), what is the total amount of tax collected by the government? How this tax amount is divided between the demanders and supplier? Who pays more and why? Explain
