Consumer buys 10 units of Good A when the price of Good B is $5. When the price of Good B rises to $6 (the price of Good A remaining unchanged) the consumer buys 14 units of Good A Using an appropriate formula, calculate this Consumer’s cross Elasticity of demand for Good A. Show your working. Is Good A, a substitute for, or a complement to, Good B? Explain your reasoning.
In the figure to the right, the current position of the demand curve for a good is D₁, and the price of the good, which is a normal good, is $4. If there is an increase in consumer incomes, which way will the demand curve shift? Will the quantity demanded of the good increase or decrease? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the new demand curve for a normal good after consumer incomes increase. Label this line 'D₂.' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the point on the new demand curve, D₂, that corresponds to the quantity demanded when the price is $4 per good. Label this point 'A₂. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price per Unit of the Good ($) 2A₁ D₁ 6 7 8 9 10 Quantity of the Good Demanded
What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65
43. If Mary's income increases and she consumes less rice. Therefore, rice is: 44. If the price of one product increases, the quantity demanded of another product increases, we can conclude that the products are:
a. Describe according to demand theory why an inferior good or service you have consumed now or in the past is such. b. What do you expect would happen to your consumption of it when your income changed in either direction?
3. If all other factors remain the same, what happens to the demand curve for coffee if there is: (a) an increase in the price of tea, (b) a decrease in family income, (c) an increase in the price of coffee? In answering these questions draw and carefully label a set of axes. On the horizontal axis of your graph, show the quantity of coffee. On the vertical axis show the price per cup of coffee. Since you do not have specific data on prices and quantities demanded, just indicate prices with a P and Quantity with a Q. Focus on the general shape and position of the curves before and after events occur. Draw new curves to show what happens in each of the circumstances given, if necessary. 3. If all other factors are unchanged, what happens to the supply curve for coffee if there is: (a) an increase in wages paid to coffee store clerks, (b) an increase in the price of coffee, or (c) an increase in the number of coffee stores? In answering these questions draw graphs, as necessary, using…
If the cross-price elasticity of demand for good A when the price of B changes is negative that indicates: a. That goods A and B are supplementary goods. b. That goods A and B are complementary goods. c. That goods A and B are necessity goods. d. That goods A and B are inferior goods.
u are told that the cross-price elasticity between goods X and Y is2.0. This means that a. Goods X and Y are normal goods. b. Goods X and Y are inferior goods. c. Goods X and Y are complementary goods. Goods X and Yare substitute goods.
"The diagram reveals that X2>X1. This indicates that consumption of X rose as X's price went up." --> Can you explain, because I thought the law of the demand has an inverse relationship?
Chapter 7 i 3:06 BO ☐ The substitution effect. Multiple Choice is generally so weak that its effect cannot be predicted. for an increase in the relative price of a good is sometimes positive but sometimes negative. refers to the change in the quantity demanded of a good due to a change in its relative price. measures the change in the quantity of a good demanded brought about by a change in real income associated with a change in the price of the good. 60 Saved SEP 6
Questions 6 (Demand). When the price of x1 is $8 and the price of x2 is $5, Jenny consumes 20 units of x1 and 10 units of x2. Suppose that when the price of xX2 increases to $7, Jenny consumes 25 units of x1. a) What type of goods are x1 and x2? b) How many units of x2 does Jenny consume after its price increases? Hint: Calculate her income with the first allocation of goods. Questions 7 (Slutsky Equation and Consumer Surplus). Robert's utility function for x and xa is:
True or False *if the answer is false, expalain it 1. In the market for gasoline, the reason that the equilibrium quantity increased was that the increase in demand was less than the decrease in supply. 2. A fall in the price of iPads would shift the demand curve for iPads to the right. 3. Percentage an increase in the price of good Y is 40% causes a decrease in the quantity demanded of the X by 20%, then good X and good Y are complements. 4. Increasing in the apple price by 40% led to an decrease in the quantity of apple demanded by 60%, then the elasticity of demand is an inelastic type. 5.
