They estimated that the demand curve for the market is Quantity demanded=20-2P. The firm currently prices the good at 8 dollars. They want to move the price to 6 dollars in a attempt to increase profits. 1) What is the elasticity for this move in price (Use the midpoint method for elasticity) make sure you show your work? 2) Now you are contacted by a different branch of this company that is in a lower priced (Scranton P.A.) market with the same demand curve. They want to move the price from 2 to 5 dollars. What is the elasticity of this change (Use the midpoint method)? 3) Now suppose you find out that there is a similar product that impacts the Quantity demanded for a product. The relationship is Qd=15+Pb. Now suppose the price (Pb) of the other good is 5 and goes to 6. What is the Cross-price elasticity of the good?arrow_forwardwhy do you think brand-named goods are more elastic or less elastic than categories, especially when there are very good substitutes for Exxon gasoline available at close distances?arrow_forward

The base rate for a taxi fare in Toronto was recently raised by the Toronto taxi Commission from $3.00 to $3.50. After this increase, taxicab ridership decreased by 8%.
