Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increases from $14 to $16 is 5.00 if your income is $20,000 and 3.75 your income is $24,000. If the price of a pizza is $12, your income elasticity of demand is as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However, if the price of a pizza is $16, your income elasticity is

Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increases from $14 to $16 is 5.00 if your income is $20,000 and 3.75 your income is $24,000. If the price of a pizza is $12, your income elasticity of demand is as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However, if the price of a pizza is $16, your income elasticity is

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?
A gas station owner sees a report on TV which states that the number of gallons of gasoline sold in the U.S. has barely dropped, even as the price per gallon has soared in recent weeks. The price elasticity of demand for gasoline is described in the report as “highly inelastic”. The gas station owner responds to this report by jacking up the prices at his station by 50 cents per gallon. Sales and revenues at his station plummet in the first month after the price increase, and drop even further in the second month. What factors did this gas station owner fail to consider when he responded to the TV report by aggressively raising his prices?
Calculate the Elasticity Coefficient for the following scenario. Patty bakes pies, she sells them for $10 each and sells about 55 pies per week. But the price of her ingredients increased so she' s contemplating a price increase. She will raise the price to $12 and she estimates her demand will fall to 50 pies per week. Calculate the elasticity coefficient for Patty's Pies. Are Patty's Pies elastic or inelastic? Should she raise her prices? Or keep them the same? You should be able to show your work.
It is known that the demand function for two goods, namely x and y, is shown by the equation Qx = 25 - Px + 0.5Py Px = $3 Py = $5 a. Determine the elasticity of goods x b. Determine the cross elasticity of the two goods
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.
Explain all options, please.
James consumes two types of goods: fruit and clothing. Fruits cost him $ 2 per unit, clothing costs $ 25 per unit, and his income is $ 1,000. He always spends 40% of his income on fruit, regardless of the price of fruit and clothing, as well as his income. a. What is the cross-price elasticity of its demand for fruit relative to the price of clothing? b.What is the elasticity-income of its fruit demand? Detail your answers.
