Over the range from $12 to $14, Qd goes from 30 to 24. Using this range of prices and quantities, you should calculate the coefficient of price elasticity of demand. In the box labeled E1, the coefficient of price elasticity of demand is: 2 6 1.36 1.44 In box E2, you would interpret the coefficient calculated in the previous question. Therefore, you would characterize this range as: Elastic Unit Elastic Inelastic None of the Above
Transport economists Lasse Fridstrøm and Vegard Østli studied the demand for cars in Norway between 2002 and 2016. Regarding gasoline-powered cars, the own-price elasticity was −1.094, and the cross-price elasticities with respect to the prices of gasoline, electricity, and electric cars were −0.71, 0.06, and 0.19 respectively. As for electric cars, the own-price elasticity was −0.99, and the cross-price elasticities with respect to the prices of electricity, gasoline, and gasoline-powered cars were −0.18, 0.38, and 0.35 respectively.a. Referring to the above data, discuss whether gasoline cars and electricity are substitutes or complements.b. Electric cars are more expensive than gasoline cars. Compare the incomes of people who buy electric cars vis-à-vis those who buy gasoline cars.c. Considering the buyers’ incomes, explain why the demand for electric cars is less price elastic than the demand for gasoline cars.d. Why would the short-run demand for gasoline cars be less elastic with…

The municipality is planning to build a huge monument, buying marble from the domestic market, which is efficient. An independent study has previously estimated the local demand and supply of marble as ??=25−0.2? and ??=−5+?, respectively. If the demand due to this project is expected to change to ??=49−0.2? (the quantity is measured in square meters and the price in dollars): What is the value of the change in the total surplus caused by this project?
The daily demand for Invigorated PED shoes is estimated to be Qdx = 100−3Px + 4Py − .01M + 2Ax where Ax represents the amount of advertising spent on shoes (X), Px is the price of good X, Py is the price of good Y, and M is average income. Suppose good X sells at $25 a pair, good Y sells at $35, the company utilizes 50 units of advertising, and average consumer income is $20,000. Calculate and interpret the own price, cross-price, and income elasticities of demand.
Kk177. Suppose the market demand function is given as;Qd = 5I + 10P_1 − 0.4P^2where I is income in $1000 and P1 is price of a related good.(a) What is the relation between these two goods?(b) Calculate the income, cross price, and own price elasticities of demand if I = $50,000, P1 = $10 and P = $20.(c) At what price is demand unit elastic if I = $50,000 and P1 = $10?
A store that sells maize meal discovers that when the price of 1kg maize meal is R24 per kilogram, the quantity demanded is 306 kgs per week. When the price decreases to R21 per kg, then the sales increase to 340kgs per week. Use this information to answer questions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 below: 3.1.1. Determine the price elasticity of maize meal using the arc method (5) 3.1.2 Discuss the relationship between the price elasticity of maize meal and the total revenue the store received from the sales. Advise the store on an appropriate pricing strategy.
Following the increase in price of a 250g bag of coffee from £2.35 to £2.65 in a local supermarket, weekly sales of tea increase from 8.5 kg to 11.5 kg. From this we can conclude that: a) The price elasticity of demand for tea is -2.76, so that consumer’ demand for tea is highly elastic. b) The income elasticity of demand among consumers is 10, confirming that tea, but not coffee, is a luxury good. c) The cross-price elasticity of demand is 2.5, confirming that tea is a substitute for coffee. d) The price elasticity of demand for coffee is -0.4, so that the demand for coffee is price inelastic.
Recently, Verizon Wireless ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services. The manager selected three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. One week later, the number of customers enrolled in Verizon’s cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. The manager used this information to estimate the own-price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company’s 2016 annual revenues. One year later, the manager was perplexed because Verizon's 2016 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2015—the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company’s revenues.Did the manager make an error? Explain
9. Application: Demand elasticity and agriculture The following graph illustrates the market for almonds. It plots the monthly supply of almonds and the monthly demand for almonds. Suppose an increase in pests destroys a major portion of almond trees. Show the effect this shock has on the market for almonds by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. PRICE (Delars per tor G Supply O Demand Supply @ 4
The daily demand for Invigorated PED shoes is estimated to be Q = 100– 3P, + 4P, – .01M + 24, where A, represents the amount of advertising spent on shoes (X), P, is the price of good X, P, is the price of good Y, and M is average income. Suppose good X sells at Rs.50 a pair, good Y sells at Rs.70, the company utilizes 100 units of advertising, and average consumer income is Rs.40,000. Calculate and interpret 1. Own Price Elasticity of demand 2. Cross Price Elasticity of demand 3. Income Elasticity of demand. 4. Are goods X and Y substitutes or complements? 5. Is good X a normal or an inferior good?
