Analyse the cross price elasticity of demand for wheat and rice when a change in the price of wheat from Rs.70 to Rs. 90 results in a change in the quantity demand for wheat from kg 3000 to kg 5000 in the market. Interpret the value of the coefficient.

One of the growers is excited by the price increase caused by the blight because he believes it will increase revenue in this market. As an economics student, you can use elasticities to determine whether this change in price will lead to an increase or decrease in total revenue in this market. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for soybeans between the prices of $10 and $12 per bushel is , which means demand is between these two points. Therefore, you would tell the grower that his claim is , because total revenue will as a result of the blight. Confirm your previous conclusion by calculating total revenue in the soybean market before and after the blight. Enter these values in the following table. Before Blight After Blight Total Revenue (Millions of Dollars)

The price elasticity of demand for tickets to local baseball games is estimated to be equal to 0.89.  in order to boost ticket revenues, an economist would advise: Group of answer choices decreasing the price of game tickets because demand is elastic. increasing the price of game tickets because demand is elastic. increasing the price of game tickets because demand is inelastic. not changing the price of game tickets because demand is unit elastic.

Quantity of A traded 10,000 15,000 Household Income | Price of B $3000 Price of A $1.10 $1.50 $0.90 $2500 $1.20 (i) Determine the price elasticity of demand for A, income elasticity of demand for A and the cross price elasticity of demand between A and B using the mid-point formula. Based on the elasticities, classify A in terms of its price and income elasticities of demand and establish the relationship between product A and product B. Given that the price of product A increases by 5%, household income increases by 3% and the price of product B increases by 2%, explain and compute the effect on the revenue from product A, assume each of the changes occurs separately. (ii) (b) The demand and supply functions of wheat is given as P = 20 – 0.05Q and P = 10 + 0.05Q, respectively. Solve for the equilibrium price and quantity in the wheat market. If the government implement a price floor of $18 per unit of wheat to help the wheat farmer, compute the consumer surplus, the producer surplus…
