Suppose the price elasticity of demand for coke is −3 and the cross-price elasticity of demand between coke and the price of Pepsi is 2.2. If the price of Pepsi decreases by 5%, what would happen to the demand for coke and what would have to happen to the price of coke to exactly offset the fall in the price of Pepsi and leave the quantity demanded of coke unchanged, respectively?
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-explain your reasoning for each categorization.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. fell by 14% in 2015. The number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) sold in the U.S. fell by 36% in the same year. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for HEVs and gasoline. Round answer to one place after the decimal.
Suppose that consumers experience a 5 percent increase in income and purchase walking shoes increase by 6 percent. What is the income elasticity for walking shoes? (Give your answer to one decimal place.)
Netflix raises the price of its service from $11 per month to $14 per month. This causes the number of people subscribing to HCCCtinder – a school-specific dating app – to rise from 2,200 to 2,500. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand? Based upon your answer, are Netflix and HCCCtinder substitutes or compliments?
The accompanying table lists the cross-price elasticities of demand for several goods, where the percent quantity change is measured for the first good of the pair, and the percent price change is measured for the second good. ( please see image) a. Explain the sign of each of the cross-price elasticities. What does it imply about the relationship between the two goods in question? b. Compare the absolute values of the cross-price elasticities and explain their magnitudes. For example, why is the cross-price elasticity of McDonald’s burgers and Burger King burgers less than the cross-price elasticity of butter and margarine? c. Use the information in the table to calculate how a 10% increase in the price of Pepsi affects the quantity of Coke demanded. d. Use the information in the table to calculate how a 5% decrease in the price of gasoline affects the quantity of SUVs demanded.
Which of the following could have caused the price elasticity of demand to change from a value of -0.5 to -0.8? Question 20 options: 1) The increase in substitutes good available. 2) A rise in the price of substitute good. 3) A rise in demand for the good. 4) A rise in income. Next Page
A rise in the price of a muffin from $2 to $3 results in a fall in the quantity demanded of muffins from 200 million to 160 million a day. Moreover, at today's price of a donut of $1.50, the quantity demanded of donuts increases from 70 million to 100 million a day. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for muffins (show calculations) Is the demand for muffins elastic or inelastic? Calculate the cross elasticity of demand for donuts with respect to the price of a muffin. (show calculations) Based on the above calculation how would you characterize the relationship between muffins and donuts? Why would the business owner want to know this? Only typed solution

Congratulations! You have just landed your first job out of college as an economic analyst at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Your starting salary is $55,000 per year; an increase of 250% per year over the salary you made at the local coffee shop. The corresponding table gives the percentage change in your purchases of each good after your income increases. Use this information to estimate your income elasticity of demand for each of the items.
When income increases by 10 percent (or numerically, 0.1), quantity demanded moves by 168 units. Assuming the income elasticity of demand is 4. What is the original quantity demanded? (assuming further that this is the point elasticity relative to the original point.) Please make sure you give a numerical answer with no units and/or space or period (.) or comma (,) before or after your answer. Enter your answer here
