The owner of a local bakery shop observes that when he increases the price of Italian bread, his total revenue decreases, and when he lowers the price of Italian bread, his total revenue increases. This suggests that: Italian bread buyers act irrationally. the demand for Italian bread is elastic with respect to price. there are few good substitutes for Italian bread. O the demand for Italian bread is inelastic with respect to price.

The textbook discusses several things that determine how price elastic the supply of a good or service is. These are known as the determinants of the price elasticity of supply. Changes in these determinants can cause the elasticity of supply to change. The figure below shows a supply curve that starts out perfectly inelastic at S, and then becomes more elastic as it moves to S,, and then to S3. Which of the determinants of the elasticity of supply could this graph be representing? S. Price Quantity Determinant Represented by the Graph Drag appropriate answer(s) here time and the adjustment process %23 the flexibility of buyers change in income the flexibility of producers Drag appropriate answer(s) here Not a Determinant Represented by the Graph
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.
Briefly explain the importance of elasticity in offer curves
