PRICE (Dollars per unit) 350 225 175 50 0 12 +--- Region Between X and Y Between W and X Between Y and Z Z True False 42 54 QUANTITY (Units) For each of the regions listed in the following table, use the midpoint method to identify if the demand for this good is elas elastic, or inelastic. 84 W Demand - Elastic Inelastic Unit Elastic True or False: The slope of the demand curve is equal to the value of the price elasticity of demand.
Your firm receives revenue of $40MM per year from Product A and $90MM per year from Product B. The own- price elasticity of demand for Product A is -1.5. The cross-price elasticity of demand between Product A and Product B is -1.8. Suppose you increase the price of Product A by two percent: a. How much will Product A’s revenue change? b. How much will Product B’s revenue change?
In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations: P=50 – 0.5QD QS= -20 + 2P where, P is the price in pounds, QS is the quantity supplied and QD is the quantity demanded. 1. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? 2. What is the price elasticity at a price of £35? 3. What do you expect will happen to total expenditure on this good if the price increases from £35 to £40? Is this expectation confirmed if you calculate the total revenue for each price?
Correctly illustrate the market (supply and demand curve). Make sure to correctly shade the area of the tax. a) Washington state has a salmon market which sells salmon at a price of P. At that price, Q lbs. of salmon will be consumed in one week. Elasticity of supply: relatively elastic Elasticity of demand: relatively inelastic In addition, suppose Washington state were to levy an excise tax collected by producers.
Suppose that the government has a goal to reduce the demand for cigarettes in support of a health program. Given this, the government decided to impose a per-unit tax of 40 centavos per pack that is levied on the sellers or placed on the sale of cigarettes by the government. This causes a shift of the market supply of cigarettes from S to S' as shown. Price ($ per pack) S 1.50 1.40 1.30 1.15 D₂ Quantity (Millions of pack) 3 4 5 Answer the following questions regarding this case. 1.
