- What is the price elasticity of demand? Can you explain it in your own words?arrow_forwardFrom the data in Table 5.5 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 unit elastic.arrow_forwardIf supply is elastic, will shifts in demand have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?arrow_forward

- Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded (income = 10,000) Quantity Demanded (income = 12,000) 8 40 DVDs 50 DVDs 10 32 45 12 24 30 14 16 20 16 8 12 a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 10,000 and (ii) your income is 12,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 10,000 to 12,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.arrow_forwardThe price of coffee rose sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Leonard: Demand increased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Sheldon: Demand increased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Penny: Demand increased, but supply decreased at the same time. Howard: Supply decreased, but demand was unit elastic. Raj: Supply decreased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Who could possibly be right? Use graphs to explain your answer.arrow_forwardIf demand is elastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?arrow_forward
