suppose there is a market demand for coffee that express with the function Qd=252-4p and at the same time the supply of coffee is perfectly inelastic Qs=172, therefore farmers cannot change the supply quanitiy in the shortrun. so make a graph and calculate 1)consumer surplus, 2)the own-price elasticity of demand at $40/unit, and 3)the reservation price of consumers where demand elasticity equal 0.189.

(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?
Suppose a straight-line downward-sloping demand curve shifts rightward. Is the price elasticity of demand higher, lower, or the same between any two prices on the new (higher) demand curve than on the old (lower) demand curve?
If automobiles and gasoline are complements, then their cross-elasticity coefficient is a. strictly greater than 1. b. positive. c. equal to zero. d. negative.
The demand function for a certain brand of DVD is given by p = = -0.001x? – 0.2x + 8 where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. Determine the consumers' surplus if the mar- ket price is set at $18 per disc.
The price-demand equation for a particular flashlight is given by p = 118 - 0.002x, where x is the number of flashlights demanded when the price is p dollars each. The flashlight manufacturers will produce no flashlights if the price is $79 or less, and they will market 5,500 flashlights when the price is $101 per flashlight. (Assume the price-supply equation is linear.) (a) Find the consumers' surplus for this commodity. $ (b) Find the producers' surplus for this commodity. $
Consumers' Surplus The demand function for a certain brand of CD is given by p = -0.01x? - 0.1x + 19 where p is the wholesale unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. Determine the consumers' surplus (in dollars) if the market price is set at $7/disc. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $ 225 The units in the original equation are in thousands. Need Help?

Consumers' Surplus The demand function for a certain brand of CD is given by p = −0.01x2 − 0.3x + 19 where p is the wholesale unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. Determine the consumers' surplus (in dollars) if the market price is set at $9/disc. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $
The demand function for a certain kind of laptop is given by -0.04x p = 600e where p is the unit price in dollars and x (in units of a hundred) is the quantity demanded each month. (a) Find the number of laptops demanded per month of the unit price is set at $500 per laptop. (b) Use the results of part (a) to find the consumers' surplus if the selling price is set at $500 per laptop.
Suppose that Demand can be described by the function Q 100-7p. What is the price elasticity of demand around a price of 557 $55
Imagine you work as an economist for a particular airline (A). Your job entails estimating the passenger demand for airline travel provided by A. Accordingly, you estimate the following: Price elasticity of demand for A’s service = 3 Cross elasticity of demand for A’s service (with respect to airline B’s price) = 2 Income elasticity of demand for A’s service = 1 Making sure to show all of your work, if consumer income falls by 5% (due to a recession), and at the same time airline B lowers its price by 10%, all else equal, what would you specifically recommend A due to its price to maintain its quantity of passengers (i.e., lower or raise its price and by what percent)? Hint: Elasticities are ratios of percentage changes.
Which of the following statements is true? a) If the PED for a product is less than zero, the demand for the product is said to be inelasticb) If the PED for a product is greater than zero, the demand for the product is said to be elasticc) The flatter the demand curve the more inelastic the demand for the productd) If the product is a necessity, then the demand tends to be more inelastic The Consumer Surplus is a) the difference between what a consumer wishes to buy and what he can afford to buyb) the difference between what the consumer plans to buy and what he actually buysc) the difference between what the consumers is willing to pay for a product and what he paysd) the difference between what the consumer is able to pay and what he actually pays
Suppose the income elasticity of demand for ProductZ is -0.8 and the cross price elasticity of demand of Product Z with respect to price of Product M is 2.0. Alex owns a factory producing Product Z. a) State and explain the type of good Product Z is. b) Assuming price of Product Z remains unchanged, state and explain using relevant calculations, specifically how the total quantity demanded of Product Z will be affected when the income of the population decreases by 10%, and the price of Product M increases by 15%.
