What is the cross price elasticity?
Increase or decrease
Answer the questions. Please draw graphs, instructions on word for how to draw the graph is not enough. Let X1 on the horizontal axis and X2 on the vertical axis. (a) Suppose two ordinary goods X1 and X2 are substitutes in consumption. Using BLs and ICs, graphically derive the demand curve for X1. Explain your graph.(b) If X2 is a Giffen good, how to derive the demand curve for X2?(c) Is the inferior good the same as the Giffen good? Why or why not?
3. If goods R and K have a cross elasticity of -3 and goods R and S have a cross elasticity of 5, then, what relationship exists between goods R and K? between R and S?
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.
Draw a demand curve and label it D1. On the graph, illustrate an increase in demandand a decrease in demand, and label the curves D2 and D3, respectively. Starting ondemand curve D1, explain the shift that would result from each of the followingevents:a. an increase in income and the good is a normal goodb. an increase in income and the good is an inferior goodc. a decrease in the price of a substitute goodd. a decrease in the price of a complementary good
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
Name a good you consume for which your incomeelasticity of demand is positive. What happenswhen your income increases?
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?
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.
