Consider the demand function for bicycles in South Florida: Q = 24 + 3Y – 1.2P where: Q is quantity demanded, Y is monthly income, and P is the price per unit. If/when P = $54, and Y = $2,300, (a) Find the quantity of bicycles that would be sold. (b) Calculate the amount of the seller's total revenue. (c) Compute the price-elasticity of demand (Ep) for bicycles. (d) Interpret your result in (c). (e) Compute the income-elasticity of demand (Ey) for bicycles. (f) Interpret your result in (e).
Given the inverse demand function: P = 60 - 34Q the price elasticity of demand can be expressed as: O(-4/3). (Q/P) (-3/4). (P/Q) O(-4/3). (Q/P) (-4/3). (P/Q) None of these
When the price of a gallon of milk increases from $6 to $8, quantity demanded decreases to 27 gallons. Assuming the price elasticity of demand for milk is -0.3, what is the original quantity demanded? (assuming further that this is the point elasticity relative to the original point on the demand curve.) Please make sure you give a numerical answer with no units and/or space or period (.) or comma (,) before or after your answer. Enter your answer here
4x+200 A garden shop determines the demand function q = D(x) = 30x+9 during early summer for tomato plants where q is the number of plants sold per day when the price is x dollars per plant. (a) Find the elasticity. (b) Find the elasticity when x = 2. (c) At $2 per plant, will a small increase in price cause the total revenue to increase or decrease? (a) The elasticity is
In this problem, p is in dollars and q is the number of units. (a) Find the elasticity of the demand function p + 69 - 300 at (9, p) = (25, 150). (b) How will a price increase affect total revenue? O Since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue. Since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue. O Since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. Since the demand is unitary, there will be no change in the revenue with a price increase. Since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. Need Help? Read It Watch It

The quantity of hot dogs buns demanded at a price of $1.59 increased from 100units to 130unite during the week that hot dogs went on sales for $1.89 rather than the regular price of $2.59. (a) what data points (P1 Q1) (P1 Q2) would you use to calculate the cross elasticity of demand for hot dogs and buns? (b) would the cross elasticity of demand be positive, zero or negative? What does this represent in economics terms? (c) the next time hot dogs went on sales, the price of buns was increased to $1.79 and only 120 buns was sold. Was this a good business decision? Why/why not?
