Explain why for some goods, the long-run price elasticity of demand is greater than the short-run price elasticity of demand. Give examples of goods that may display this characteristic.
Suppose the accompanying table contains data on how many Veggie Delite sandwiches Subway is willing to sell each day at two different prices. Calculate the daily price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $5.00 to $7.50. Please round to the nearest hundredth. Price(per sandwich) Quantity supplied(sandwiches per day) $5.00 200,000 $7.50 210,000 a. Daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches = b. The daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is relatively Elastic or Inelastic Now consider how responsive Subway’s supply of Veggie Delite sandwiches is to changes in price on an annual basis instead of a daily basis. c. Compared to the daily value, the annual price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is likely to be more Inelastic or Elastic and the annual supply curve is likely Flatter or Steeper to be than the daily supply curve.

From the economics information below Answer This QUESTION : what is the degree of price elasticity of demand os Starbucks ? and why ? In January 2020, Starbucks raised their beverage prices by an average of1% across the U.S, a move that represented the company’s firstsignificant price increase in 18 months. I failed to notice because the pricechange didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffeesand I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size(small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase. The company’s thirdquarter revenue rose 25% to $417.8 million from $333.1 million a yearearlier, and green coffee prices have plummeted, so what gives?Starbucks claims the price increase is due to rising labor and non-coffeecommodity costs, but with the significantly lower coffee costs alreadyimproving their profit margins, it seems unlikely this justification is the truereason for the hike in prices. In addition, the price hike was applied to lessthan a…

Suppose that business travellers and vacationers have the following demand for airline tickets from Accra to Lagos: Price (USD) Quantity Demanded (Business Travellers) Quantity Demanded (Vacationers) 150 2,100 1, 000 200 2,000 800 250 1,900 600 300 1,800 400 As the price of tickets rises from $200 to $250, what is the price elasticity of demand for Business travellers? Vacationers   (Use the midpoint method in your calculations) State and explain whether the price elasticities computed in (a) are fairly elastic, unit elastic or fairly inelastic. Why might vacationers have different price elasticity than business travellers?
