In this question, you'll have to solve for price elasticity of demand using the percent change formula.
When the old price of a food package was $4.64 per package, the old quantity was 1,081 packages were sold each day. After the price increased to the new
price $10.89 per package, sales dropped to a new quantity of 447 packages per day. Using these numbers, what is the price elasticity of demand for food
packages? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
The demand curve for Starbucks coffee in Malaysia is represented by the following equation: Q = 15,000 - 50P. Given the
information, calculate the price elasticity of demand at two different prices when Pl = RM100 and P2 = RM10.: (Hints: You are
asked to figure out what the point price elasticity of demand is at two different prices).
O a. When price is RM100, PED is -0.5; when price is RM10, PED is 0.34
O b. When price is RM100, PED is -0.5; when price is RM10, PED is -0.034
O c. No correct answer
O d. When price is RM100, PED is 0.5; when price is RM1O, PED is -0.034
Use the endpoint method to compute the price elasticity on D1.
The endpoint method computes the percent change in quantity or price as the percent change from the starting value. For instance, using the midpoint method to compute elasticity, if we are moving from A to B on D1, the percent change in price is computed as a percent of $5 and the percent change in quantity as the percent change in price computed as a percent of 100.

- (Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?arrow_forwardUsing the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of supply, if the price of a good rose from $95 to $105, what would be the elasticity of supply if the quantity supplied changed from a. 38 to 42? b. 78 to 82? c. 54 to 66?arrow_forwardConsider the table below.

- Assume that the demand curve is a straight line. If the price per unit of a good rises from $2.40 to X1, it is expected that monthly demand will fall from X2 units to 200,000 units. Give your own appropriate X1 and X2. What is the point price elasticity of demand when the price is $2.40? What is the arc price elasticity of demand over these ranges of price and output? Is the demand for this good price sensitive?arrow_forwardSuppose that the inverse demand for eggs is P = 12 -0.010d, and the inverse supply of eggs is P = 2 +0.01Q5, where Q = million eggs and P= USD/egg.

Which of the following explains these changes? O The income elasticity of demand for wheat is greater than +1.0 and the elasticity of supply of wheat is less than +1.0. O The income elasticity of demand for wheat is positive but less +1.0 and the producțivity of wheat farmers has increased.

If the average income in the economy increases by 2 percent each year, by what percentage does the quantity demanded of wheat increase each year, holding all other factors constant? Holding all other factors constant, if 10 billion bushels are demanded this year, by how many bushels will the quantity demanded increase next year if incomes rise by 2 percent? b. Given that average personal income doubles in the United States about every 30 years, by about what percentage does the quantity demanded of corn increase every 30 years, holding all other factors constant?arrow_forwardIf an increase in price from $1 to $2 causes a decrease in quantity demanded from 120 to 100, calculate the price elasticity of demand by using the midpoint method.
