- Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.arrow_forwardWhat are the major determinants of a products price elasticity of demand? Studies indicate that the demand for Florida oranges, Bayer aspirin, watermelons, and airfares to Europe are elastic. Why?arrow_forwardEstimates presented in Exhibit 5 show that Android users have a higher price elasticity of demand for apps in the Google Play Store than do iPhone users in the Apple App Store. Why might Android users tend to be more sensitive to app prices than iPhone users? What categories or types of apps (for example, games/social media) do you think have the highest price elasticities?arrow_forward
- What does a price elasticity of demand of 0.39 mean?arrow_forwardThe price elasticity of demand for personal computers is estimated to be 2.2. If the price of personal computers declines by 20 percent, what will be the expected percentage increase in the quantity of computers sold?arrow_forwardIf the price of a good or service increases and the total revenue received by the seller declines, is the demand for this good over this segment of the demand curve elastic or inelastic? Explain.arrow_forward
- Plot the price and quantity data given in the demand schedule of exercise 1. Put price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. Indicate the price elasticity value at each quantity demanded. Explain why the elasticity value gets smaller as you move down the demand curve.arrow_forwardIf the elasticity of demand for hamburgers equals 21.5 and the quantity demanded equals 40,000, predict what will happen to the quantity demanded of hamburgers when the price increases by 10 percent. If the price falls by 5 percent, what will happen?arrow_forwardThe quantity demanded of good X rises from 130 to 145units as income rises from 2,000 to 2,500 a month. What is the income elasticity of demand for good X?arrow_forward
