- Question 7 Total revenue increases as price increases, as long as demand is elastic. always increases as price increases. remains unchanged as price increases when demand is unit elastic. decreases as price increases, as long as demand is inelastic..arrow_forward1) Assume that the percentage change of the price of product A is 5% (%Px and the percentage change of quantity demanded is - 10% (%Δqd), Find the following, a) The price elasticity of demand b) Is the demand for this product elastic or inelastic? c) If the price of the product A increases, What happens to total revenue? (increases or decreases) d) if the price increases by 1% by how much quantity demanded will decrease (more than 1%, less than 1%, or by exactly by 1%) 2) Assume that the percentage increase in the price of product X ( %ΔPx) is 4% and the percentage change in quantity demanded in product Y ( %Δqd) is -5%, find the cross price elasticity (Eyx), are product X and Y substitutes or complements? 3) Assume that the percentage increase in income (%ΔI) is 4% and the percentage decrease in the quantity demanded (%Δq) is -6%, find income elasticity (EI), Is this product a normal or inferior product? 4) Is the elasticity for Corn flakes cereal is greater of less…arrow_forwardAssume that the price elasticity of demand is -2 for a certain firm's product. If the firm raises price, the firm's managers can expect total revenue to: decrease. increase. remain constant. either increase or remain constant, depending upon the size of the price increase. A price elasticity of zero corresponds to a demand curve that is: horizontal. downward sloping with a slope always equal to 1. vertical. either vertical or horizontal. As we move down along a linear demand curve, the price elasticity of demand becomes more: elastic. Inelastic. linear. variable.arrow_forward
