- The price elasticity of demand can be found by: comparing the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in price. measuring absolute changes in price and quantity demanded. knowing that when price changes, quantity demanded goes in the opposite direction. examining only the slope of the demand curve.arrow_forwardWhen the price of cheddar cheese increases 15%, quantity demanded decreases 15%. The price elasticity of demand for cheddar cheese is and total revenue from cheddar cheese sales will Select one: a. unit elastic; not change b. inelastic; decrease D) unit elastic; not C. elastic; increase d. elastic; decreasearrow_forwardTo calculate an elasticity coefficient of demand, we need to Divide the percentage change in the price by the percentage change in the quantity demanded Multiply the percentage change in the quantity demanded by the percentage change in the price Know the slope of the demand curve Multiply the percentage change in the price by the percentage change in the quantity demandedarrow_forward
- The demand function for a certain make of ink-jet cartridge is the following where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. p= -0.02x² -0.2x+6 Compute the elasticity of demand when x = 11.

- Suppose the demand curve for a good is P = 10 - 2Q. Drawing the demand line and by calculating the point elasticity of demand, explain for which region of prices the demand will be a) Elastic b) Unit elastic c) Inelasticarrow_forwardIf a 10-percent increase in price decreases the quantity demanded by 36 percent, the price elasticity of demand is 11.(Enter your response as an absolute value rounded to one decimal place.) Note: Don't use chat gpt.arrow_forwardIn a study of the demand for automobiles in Canada, economists Blomqvist and Hassel distinguished between large and small cars and estimated the price and cross- price elasticities as well as the effects of the price of gasoline on the demands for small and large cars. Their results were as follows: a. C. New large cars New small cars d. Own price elasticity 1.26 2.30 Cross price elasticity 0.86 1.73 Elasticity with respect to gasoline price Note: The cross-price elasticities show that the demand for new small cars is more responsive to changes in the price of new large cars than the demand for new large cars is to changes in the price of new small cars. Do the cross-price elasticities have the expected sign? Briefly explain. b. If the price of new small cars went up by, say, 5 percent, by what percentage would new small car purchases change? {Note: In your answer to this and all of the remaining parts of this question, please indicate whether the change is an increase or a decrease.}…arrow_forward
