Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
What does a price elasticity of demand of 0.39 mean?
Need number 4 and 5 answered Elasticity: What is elasticity? Elasticity refers to the concept that provide information about the sensitivity or responsiveness of one variable to another. What is Price Elasticity of Demand? Price elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of consumers in term of quantity demanded with respect to the price change. It explains that how much quantity demanded changes with the change in the price by 1percent. What is the formula that we will use to calculate it? The formula to calculate price elasticity of demand would be: =Percentage change in quantity demanded/percentage change in price After calculating the Coefficient of Price Elasticity of Demand, what are the rules we use to characterize that price range? (i.e., What importance does the number one play?) What is the total revenue test?
The accompanying table lists the cross-price elasticities of demand for several goods, where the percent quantity change is measured for the first good of the pair, and the percent price change is measured for the second good. Good Cross-price elasticities of demand Air-conditioning units and kilowatts of electricity -0.34 Coke and Pepsi +0.63 High-fuel-consuming sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) and gasoline -0.28 McDonald’s burgers and Burger King burgers +0.82 Butter and margarine +1.54 Explain the sign of each of the cross-price elasticities. What does it imply about the relationship between the two goods in question? Compare the absolute values of the cross-price elasticities and explain their magnitudes. For example, why is the cross-price elasticity of McDonald’s burgers and Burger King burgers less than the cross-price elasticity of butter and margarine? Use the information in the table to calculate how a 5% increase in the price of Pepsi…

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. fell by 14% in 2015. The number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) sold in the U.S. fell by 36% in the same year. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for HEVs and gasoline. Round answer to one place after the decimal.
Border Crossings from the USA into British Columbia , Canada Up 15 Percent Cheap gasoline brought 964,000 American visitors through border crossings in B.C. during the first four months of 2016, a 15 percent increase from the previous year. (Source: Vancouver Sun, July 9, 2016) The U.S. energy Information Administration reports the average price of gasoline was $2.83 a gallon in July 2015 and $2.22 a gallon in July 2016. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for British Columbia border crossings and interpret your results in non-economic terms With COVID-19 and the temporary closure of the Canada-US border to non-essential travel, is the concept of price elasticity of demand still relevant to doing business in Canada, especially in the travel and tourism sector? Explain briefly.

1)If there is an increase in the price of tea by 10%. and the quantity demanded coffee increases by 2%, then find the cross elasticity of demand. 2) According to a Honda press release on October 23, 2006, sales of the fuel-efficient four-cylinder Honda Civic rose by 7.1% from 2005 to 2006. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline rose from $2.27 per gallon to $2.57 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Honda Civics and regular gasoline. According to your estimate of the cross-price elasticity, are the two goods complements or substitutes? (answer on the basis of data value)
