- Assume that a retailer sells 1000 six packs of Pepsi per day at at $3./6pk. You, as an economic analysis , estimate that the cross price elastcity between pepsi and coca cola is 0.4. If the retailer raises the price of coca cola by 10%, how would sales of pepsi be affected, ceteris paribus, whyThe cross price elasticity of demand for fuel with respect to the price of transport (e.g., automobile travelincluding insurance, etc.) has been estimated to be -0.48. If the price of transport falls by 10 percent in aperiod, how will that affect the demand for fuel in that period, all other things unchanged?The Globe and Mail (December 16, 1997) reported that milk consumption declined following price increases: “Since the early 1980s, the price of milk in Canada has increased 22 per cent. As prices rose, the demand for milk fell off. Total [consumption] of milk on a per capita basis dropped . . . to 2.62 hectolitres in 1995 from 2.92 hectolitres in 1986.” Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for milk. (1.5marks) 0.49 milk is inelastic According to your estimate, what happens to milk producers’ revenue when the price of milk rises? (1 mark) When the price of milk rises milk producers revenue drop because the demand for milk dropped Why might your estimate of the elasticity be unreliable? (Hint: Notice that The Globe and Mail is careless about the distinction between demand and quantity demanded.) (1 mark)

Covid-19 has played havoc with the global wheat market. Suppose the price elasticity of demand for Chinese wheat flour is 0.20. If the price of Chinese wheat flour falls by 10 percent, we expect the the quantity demanded of Chinese wheat flour will increase by: Multiple Choice 20 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour will fall. more than the price of Chinese wheat bread. 20 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour will rise. 2 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour will rise. 2 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour bread will fall.. Penguin Co. is planning to reduce the price of its refrigerators by 10 per cent. It is also expected that the disposable income will increase by 6% during the same period.

How much can Penguin hope to sell after the above changes in price and income?
- The demand for Widgets (QX) is a function of the price of widgets (PX), the price of woozles (PY), and per capita income (I): QX = 1950 - 10 PX + 5 PY - 0.1I Currently, PX = 25, PY = 10, and I = 15,000. (a) Calculate the elasticity of demand for widgets with respect to its own price, the price of woozles, and income. (b) Over what range of prices is the demand for widgets elastic? (c) If the cost per widget is 10 and the manufacturer behaves as a monopolist, how many widgets will be sold and at what price. (d) By how much must the price of widgets change if there is a 1% decrease in per capita income and the goal is to keep QX constant.The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000 where 1000x candy bars are demanded per week when p cents is the price per bar. If the current price of the candy is 49 cents per bar and the price per bar is increasing at the rate of 0.2 cents each week, find the rate of change in the demand.> Why might your initial elasticity (PED) and (PES) calculations be unreliable?
