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.
Price Quantiy Demanded (income = $15,000) Quantity Demanded (income = $24000) 640 8500 7400 920 7150 6900 1120 6450 5830 1300 5895 5385 1430 4950 4730 Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increasesfrom $15,000 to $24,000 if the price moves from $640 to $1,120. What does the value tell you about the good?
Define the concept of the price elasticity of demand. Given that the price of petrol in the UK has increased from £1.40 per litre to £1.90 per litre, if my demand for petrol has decreased from 35 litres per week to 30 litres per week, calculate my price elasticity of demand for petrol.
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?
Using the data shown in the table below about demand for smart phones, calculate the price elasticity of demand from point B to point C, point D to point E, and point G to point H. Classify the elasticity at each point as elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic. Points Price Quantity A 60 3,000 B 70 2,800 C 80 2,600 D 90 2,400 E 100 2,200 F 110 2,000 G 120 1,800 H 130 1,600
On your weekly grocery shopping trip, you notice that the price ofspaghetti has gone up 50 cents a pound. How will this price increaseaffect the demand for spaghetti sauce, rice, and Parmesan cheese?Explain your answer in terms of the price elasticity of demand.
Suppose a low-income family that earns K750 per month consumes 8 Kgs of Hamburgers and 2 Kgs of Beef in Month 1. However, in month 2 when the income of the family rises to K950, the quantity of Hamburgers consumed by the family reduces to 5 Kgs while the quantity of Beef increases to 4Kgs. What is the income elasticity of demand for hamburger? What is the income elasticity of demand for steak?
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.
