Suppose you are advising an industry association on the predicted effects of a price change on quantity demanded and total expenditure on its product. The current price is $1.20 per unit, and quantity demanded is 2500 units per day. Based on extensive empirical studies, you know that price elasticity of demand for the product is 0.7. If the price increases to $2.20 per unit, what is the predicted percentage change in quantity demanded? Will total expenditure increase or decrease? (Remember to use the averaging method to calculate the percentage change in price.) The predicted percentage change in quantity demanded is %. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest integer. Do not include a negative sign in your response.) Will total expenditure increase or decrease? Total expenditure is related with price because the price elasticity of demand is so total expenditure will

Suppose at the current price, the price elasticity of demand for a firm's product is ε = -1/2. Which of the following is true: A 2% change in the price would be expected to impact quantity demanded by 1% If the price of the product increases, quantity demanded will fall If the firm raises it's price, revenues will increase. All of the above
What is the formula for measuring the price elasticity of supply? Es = (Click to select)percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in pricepercentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in incomepercentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price Suppose the price of apples goes up from $20 to $23 a box. In direct response, Goldsboro Farms supplies 1300 boxes of apples instead of 1200 boxes. Compute the coefficient of price elasticity (midpoints approach) for Goldsboro’s supply. Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. Es = Is its supply elastic, or is it inelastic? Supply is (Click to select)elasticinelastic.
Review Question 1.2, If a 13 percent increase in the price of Cap'n Crunch cereal causes a 22 percent reduction in the number of boxes of cereal demanded, what is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand calculation for Cap'n Crunch cereal? Epl= (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.) The demand for Cap'n Crunch is
Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by: QS = -20 + 2P QD =100 - 2P where QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. (b) Calculate both the demand and supply elasticity around the equilibrium point. [Hint: you can use either the point method or the average arc (midpoint) method.] [5]
The demand function for a certain make of ink-jet cartridge is the following where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. p= -0.02x² -0.2x+6 Compute the elasticity of demand when x = 11. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 0.22 Determine whether the demand is inelastic, unitary, or elastic when x = 11. elastic inelastic O unitary
You are an economist for the City Subway Commission. Presently, the price of a subway ride is 80 cents, and 250000 seats are filled weekly. The price elasticity of demand for subway rides is -0.40, and the income elasticity of demand is -0.60. (A) If a recession lowered area incomes by 5%, how many additional seats per week would the subway need?
Melanie really enjoys using her old-school charcoal grill to cook steaks, but she has found that due to environmental regulations, charcoal prices have gone up 50%. What is her price elasticity of demand for the rest of this month going to be compared to what it will be in the spring? Please explain why.
An entrepreneur's most recent venture is selling robots that he builds and programs himself. At a price of $160 each, he sells 660 robots. At a price of $290 each, he sells 340 robots. What is the price elasticity of demand for his robots? Present your elasticity using its absolute value.
Your economist friend told you that because of the change in demand described in part (c), price elasticity of demand changed. Is your friend right? Explain.
In a particular market, demand and supply curves are defined by the following equations:QD = 300 – 20P,QS = -540 + 40P,where P is the price per unit in pounds. A) At the equilibrium point, what is the elasticity of demand? B) If the price is £12, what is the elasticity of demand?
