10. Which of the following statements is (are) correct? (x) In any market, total revenue is the price of the good multiplied by the quantity of the good sold. (y) When demand is elastic in the current price range, an increase in price would increase total revenue because the decrease in quantity demanded is proportionally less than the increase in price. (z) Holding all other forces constant, if reducing the price of a good results in less total revenue, then the demand for the good must be inelastic. A. (x), (y) and (z) В. (x) and (y) only C.

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.
