1:23 ◄ Pulse write the DRAFI OT Tour Paper The assignment is as follows: 5G 1. Select a product, good, or service for which you believe there is, if not perfect, close to perfect price inelasticity of demand. Refer back to course materials for clarification of what price inelasticity means. 2. Research the product, good, or service so that you have a general understanding of the market, customers, suppliers, and competition. Consult at least one reliable, credible source and be sure to include a citation so we can see where you got your information. 3. Discuss the following questions(s) with regard to the product, good, or service. Remember, you are NOT to turn in a numbered list of responses. This is a written paper, so your responses should form a cohesive set of paragraphs, with appropriate transitions, and so on. a. Describe in 50 words or less the product, good, or service that you chose. b. Why did you choose this product, good, or service? c. Why do you believe the demand is inelastic with regard to price? What factors are at work here? (Hint: Think back to the external factors you read about in module 1.) d. What, if anything, could change and make the product, good, or service price elastic?

MicroEconomics Practice:  Eric has a taco stand in downtown San Francisco. He wants to increase his total revenue. He knows that, when tacos are $1.00, he sells 20 an hour, and when he lowers the price to $0.75, he sells 25 an hour.   (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Jose's hotdogs using the midpoint formula. (show the formula and your calculations) (b) Is demand elastic or inelastic? How do you know? Explain your answer. (c) Using the price elasticity of demand calculated in section A, explain whether Eric should raise or lower the price to generate more revenue.

How do I calculate the price elasticity in this chart? and how do I graph the results? P Q Price Total       Elasticity Revenue   $9.00 1 - 9   $8.00 2   16   $7.00 3   21   $6.00 4   24   $5.00 5   25   $4.00 6   24   $3.00 7   21   $2.00 8   16

Please see below. The pictures go together.

#4 Determining the price elasticity of demand of a product involves all of the following factors, but NOT the total number of firms in a market.   the availability of substitutes to the product.   whether the product is a luxury or a necessity.

Attempts 1 ❖ PRICE (Dollars per unit) 350 225 175 50 0 Region Between W and X Between X and Y Between Y and Z 1 QUANTITY (Units) True False W Demand For each of the regions listed in the following table, use the midpoint method to identify if the demand for this good is elastic, (approximately) unit elastic, or inelastic. Elastic Inelastic Unit Elastic ? True or False: The slope of the demand curve is not equal to the value of the price elasticity of demand.
