Part 1: Answer the following multiple choice (MC) questions (you may highlight, bold, or enter a letter in the blank – 2 points each):
1. __D____ If the price of a sub sandwich increases by 2% and the quantity demanded falls by 5%, then there will be
a. an increase in the price elasticity of demand. b. an increase in the price elasticity of supply . c. a shift in the demand curve. d. a decrease in revenue.
2.___A___If an increase in the price of a good leads to no change in the quantity demanded, then the demand for the good is
a. perfectly

d. both a and b.
15. ___C____ Cross-elasticity of demand
a. will be positive for substitutes like cabbage and lettuce when the price of cabbage goes up. b. will be negative for complements like SUVs and gasoline when the price of gasoline goes up c. both a and b d. none of the above.
Part 2: Answer the following questions (insert your answers directly below each question): 1. How does tax revenue generated on a product with inelastic demand compared to the tax revenue generated on a product with elastic demand? Why the difference? (page 86) (10 points)
A tax imposed on a good that has an inelastic demand will generate more tax revenue than a tax on a good with elastic demand, assuming similar supply conditions. If the good's demand is more elastic, that means its demand is more sensitive to a price increase. There, the price increase due to the tax will cause quantity purchased and tax revenue to be less than the revenue on a product with inelastic demand.
2. What is the relationship between elasticity or inelasticity of demand and who bears the most burden (customer or business) of a tax on various products/services (see pages 84 and 85). (10 points)
The more inelastic the demand relative to supply, the more tax burden the customer will bear. For gas, in the short term, customer will cut back somewhat, but they still need gas (inelastic demand), so they will bear most of the expense. If demand were elastic, they could walk
G. Identify by price range the areas on the demand curve where demand is elastic, inelastic, and unit elastic using the attached “Graphs for Elasticity of Demand, Total Revenue.”
The fact that price and quantity demanded are related negatively illustrates the a.law of supply.b.law of quantity supply.c.law of demand.d.law of quantity demanded.e.point that some facts are unobservable. ANS
You are an economist advising Holden Australia about increasing their total revenue. How would knowledge of elasticity help you to make the correct decision?
b. EXPLAIN how the total revenue test can be used to determine if a demand curve is elastic or inelastic. Use two graphs with numerical examples in your response. ( ____/5)
c. quantity demanded of a taxed good in response to a change in the tax rate
Heba Judeh Dr. Werner English 2238-001 1 December 2015 Sula: Gender in Relation to Race In a short novel of only one hundred and seventy pages, Toni Morrison’s Sula manages to span fifty years of a strange friendship between Nel Wright and Sula Peace. This novel is set in the early 1900s in a black community called the Bottom but was not published until 1973, right after the Civil Rights Movement.
For example, the tax incidences will change based on both the elasticity of demand and supply. The consumer has to
II. When price falls from 4 pounds to 3 pounds the demand for travel increases to 80,000 units- At the original market price of 4 pounds the demand for travel was 60,000 units generating revenue of 240,000 pounds. When the price is reduced to 3 pounds the resulting demand is 80,000 units and this also generates income of 240,000 pounds. When market price changes and the resulting revenue remains the same it can be said that price elasticity of demand is unitary in
Price elasticity of demand enables business organizations to predict how their total revenue will be effected in the event they change the prices of their products. When a given good has inelastic price elasticity of demand i.e. Ed 1, then the percentage change in the quantity demanded is greater that the change in price. Thus, raising the prices of such commodities results to decline in the total revenue because the business may loss customers to their competitors. Nonetheless, reducing the prices of goods with elastic elasticity of demand increases the total
Describe what has occurred to change the demand for, or the supply of, the good or service, and market prices of those products or services
THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS OF ANIMAL FARM. The seven commandments are the basic principles of Animalism worked out by the pigs and described as the originally “unchangeable laws” by which the animals were to obey and follow the rules and were to never to be broken. The seven commandments were written on the wall of where the barn was, by which where the animals day by day read were: Page: 43: 1.
