Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizza increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 20,000 and (ii) your income is 24,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 20,000 to 24,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?

What is the formula for line cross-price elasticity of demand?
What does a price elasticity of demand of 0.39 mean?
Plot the price and quantity data given in the demand schedule of exercise 1. Put price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. Indicate the price elasticity value at each quantity demanded. Explain why the elasticity value gets smaller as you move down the demand curve.
What is the formula for the income elasticity of demand?
(Other Elasticity Measures) Complete each of the following sentences: a. The income elasticity of demand measures, for a given price, the __________ in quantity demanded divided by the __________ income from which it resulted. b. If a decrease in the price of one good causes a decrease in demand for another good, the two goods are __________. c. If the value of the cross-price elasticity of demand between two goods is approximately zero, they are considered __________.
Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
