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?

Suppose the demand curve for a product is given by Q=18-1P+2PS where P is the price of the product and Ps is the price of a substitute good. The price of the substitute good is $2.60. Suppose P = $1.00 The price elasticity of demand is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Worldwide annual sales of smart phones in over a five-year period were projected to be approximately q=-10p+4440 million phones at a selling price of $P per phone. Obtain a formula for the price of elasticity of demand E. In one particular year the actual selling price was $271 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? Use your formula for E to determine the selling price that would’ve resulted in the largest annual revenue. What, nearest to the nearest 10 million, would have been the resulting annual revenue?
Find elasticity demand for p+0.0003x=15 at x=25,000 , what kind of elasticity is this?
QUESTION 2 Replicas of popular mid-century furniture and homeware can be highly sought after by interior designers. Suppose a company sold 1000 replica Eames chairs for a price of $600 each. However, when they set the price at $750, they only sold 750. Which of the following statements are true: The point price elasticity of demand for replica Eames chairs at a price of $600 is unit elastic. At a price of $600 per chair, a 1% increase in the price of replica Eames chairs would lead to a 1% decrease in the quantity of chairs sold. The point price elasticity of demand for replica Eames chairs at a price of $600 is 0.0239 (to four decimal places). The point price elasticity of demand for replica Eames chairs at a price of $600 is 0.02 (to two decimal places).

The demand for Widgets (QX) is a function of the price of widgets (PX), the price of woozles (PY), and per capita income (1): QX = 1950 - 10 PX + 5 PY-0.11 Currently, PX = 25, PY = 10, and 1 = 15,000. (a) Calculate the elasticity of demand for widgets with respect to its own I price, the price of woozles, and income. (b) Over what range of prices is the demand for widgets elastic? (c) If the cost per widget is 10 and the manufacturer behaves as a monopolist, how many widgets will be sold and at what price: (d) By how much must the price of widgets change if there is a 1% decrease in per capita income and the goal is to keep QX constant.
