Compute a slope and elasticity of a line, which goes through coordinate points (2,7) and (4,1). Illustrate your results by a graph of this function. Provide a written interpretation of your results
ELASTICITY EXERCISE Name _____________________________11) Due ____________ Please show work in detail. All questions utilize the multivariate demand function for Smooth Sailing sailboats in C6 on text page 83. Compute to three decimal places. Initial values are: PX = $9500 PY = $10000 I = $15000 A = $170000 W = 160 This function is: Qs = 89830 -40PS +20PX +15PY +2I +.001A +10W 1.(a) Use the above to calculate the arc price elasticity of demand between PS = $8000 decreasing to PS = $7000. The arc elasticity formula is: (b). Judging from the computation in (a), do you expect the revenue resulting from the decrease in price from $8000 to $7000 to increase, remain the same or decrease. (Hint: see the table on page 65 of Truett). Explain your choice. 2.(a). Calculate the point elasticity of demand for Smooth Sailing sailboats at PS = $8000 (which should make Qs = 141600). The formula is: 2.(b). Does this elasticity value indicate that…
In the market for cars, the price elasticity of supply is +1.5, and the price elasticity ofdemand is -0.8. The equilibrium price is $ 30 thousand, and quantity is 120 million.(a) Assuming supply and demand are linear, reconstruct and draw the supply and demandcurves. Label the intercepts.(b) To reduce traffic, the government imposes a $400 tax on cars. What are PB and PS after thetax? What is the new equilibrium quantity? Illustrate them on the same graph.(c) How big is the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, government revenue, anddeadweight loss?

Sipho runs a local kiosk specialising in slogan t-shirts. At the end of summer, he hosts aclearance sale and decreases the price of t-shirts from R150 to R120 per unit. The sales logindicates the quantity of t-shirts demanded increased from 60 to 80 units.(a)Calculate the price elasticity of demand over the range of the linear demand curve for tshirts.(b)What type of elasticity is applicable? Explain.
P & A Ch 05 Q10 Consider public policy aimed at smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.2. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $5 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 10%, it should increase the price by ? %. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, the effect on smoking 1 year from now will be ( larger / smaller ) than the effect 3 months from now. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than do adults. Which of the following statements are consistent with this result? Check all that apply. Adults are more likely to be addicted to cigarettes. Teenagers do not have as much income as adults, so they are more price sensitive. It is legal for adults to consume alcohol, so many choose to spend their money on that good rather than cigarettes.
