- According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. fell by 14% in 2015. The number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) sold in the U.S. fell by 36% in the same year. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for HEVs and gasoline. Round answer to one place after the decimal.arrow_forwardIn the United States, 2018 was a bad year for growing wheat. And as wheat supply decreased, the price of wheat rose dramatically, leading to a lower quantity demanded (a movement along the demand curve). The accompanying table describes what happened to prices and the quantity of wheat demanded. 2017 2018 Quantity demanded (bushels) 2.3 billion 1.7 billion Average price (per bushel) $4.02 $4.98 Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of demand for winter wheat. What is the total revenue for U.S. wheat farmers in 2017 and 2018? Did the bad harvest increase or decrease the total revenue of U.S. wheat farmers? How could you have predicted this from your answer to part a?arrow_forwardThe demand and supply curves for a product are given by: Qd = 600 - 2P Qs = 300 + 4P Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. Carefully draw a graph to illustrate your answer. Make sure to write out the intercepts. Show the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity on your graph.arrow_forward
- Price elasticity of supply (PES): Definition Calculations Diagramsarrow_forwardIn the market for widgets supply and demand are estimated as follows : P= 20-1.8 Qd and P= 2+Qs. Graph these curves and solve for equillibrium price and quantityarrow_forwardThe quantity of goods that consumers are willing and able to buy at a series of prices can be listed on a demand graph schedule curve linearrow_forward
- Formulate equation for supply given the following: m-2.8: b%337arrow_forwardQUESTION 35 The price of widgets has increased from $7 to $14, causing the quantity supplied to increase from 400 to 1,200 units. Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of supply. Provide your answer below:arrow_forwardConsider the demand for airplane tickets. Which of the following does not cause the demand for airplane tickets to shift? A Decrease in number of consumers due to a pandemic B Increase in price of jet fuel C Increase in the price of airplane tickets D Decrease in the price of cruise tickets (a substitute for airplane tickets)arrow_forward
- The price of a good rises from $12 to $15. Quantity supplied increases from 25,000 to 35,000. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticity of supply. Question 12 options: 0.4 0.67 1.5 1.75arrow_forwardQuantity Demanded 45,000 37,000 Price of Strawberries (p) 5 10 20 26,000 30 20,000 40 15,000 50 10,000 1. Using the table above plot the information and draw the demand curve for strawberries 2. Use the graph to estimate the demand for strawberries if the price was: a) 15 b) 35 c) 60 3. If the producers were interesting in selling a set amount of produce rather than looking to revenue maximise, what should they charge to sell a) 23,000 b) 40,000 4. If the producers wanted to revenue maximise how many strawberries should they produce and at what price should they sell 5. Explain why the demand curve for strawberries slopes downwards?arrow_forwardCross elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the demand for a good to: A) A change in the goods own price B) A change in the price of another good C) Changes in consumer income D) Changes in production technologyarrow_forward
