Consider these elasticities of demand of tourists in Austria Destination Income Elasticity Price elasticity Austria -0.1 -1 Italy 0.8 -1.5 Cuba 2 -2 Kazakhstan 0 0 Classify elasticity inferior\normal, and price elasticity elastic\inelastic. What could be plausible explanations for these numbers and what implications have for policy makers and tourists organizations in the destination countries?

If you are entering a negative number be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of that number. a. The price elasticity of demand for a price change from $2 to $3 is: -0.45 ✔ The slope of the demand curve for a price change from $2 to $3 is: b. The price elasticity of demand for a price change from $3 to $5 is: The slope of the demand curve for a price change from $3 to $5 is: c. The price elasticity of demand for a price change from $6 to $7 is: -7.00 -1.00 → -7.00 x -4.33 The slope of the demand curve for a price change from $6 to $7 is: -700

(b) What is the arc elasticity of demand between point B and point C? Please show your calculations. 1 Price elasticity at a point is slope Price Quantity Where “slope” is the slope of the demand curve in the above graph which is calculated between any two points on the demand curve using the following formula slope = change in Price change in quantity Arc Price elasticity = Q2-Q1 ((Q₂ + Q₁)/2) P₂-P₁ (P₂+ P₁)/2) 2 (For Arc elasticity see the above formula and the formula on page 83 in "Inside Business 3-2)
