The equation for a demand curve is P=483Q. What is the elasticity in moving from quantity of 5 to a quantity of 6?
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
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?
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.
The price of coffee rose sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Leonard: Demand increased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Sheldon: Demand increased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Penny: Demand increased, but supply decreased at the same time. Howard: Supply decreased, but demand was unit elastic. Raj: Supply decreased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Who could possibly be right? Use graphs to explain your answer.
Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
The price elasticity of demand for personal computers is estimated to be 2.2. If the price of personal computers declines by 20 percent, what will be the expected percentage increase in the quantity of computers sold?
What is the formula for the income elasticity of demand?
The avenge annual income rises from 25,000 to 33,000, and the quantity of bleed consumed in a year by the avenge person falls from 30 loaves to 22 loaves. What is the income elasticity of bread consumption? Is bread a normal or an inferior good?
