Suppose that when the price of gasoline is $3.50 per gallon, the total amount of gasoline purchased in the United States is 6 million barrels per day. Also suppose that when the price of gas decreases to $3 per gallon, the total amount of gasoline purchased is 8 million barrels per day. Based on these numbers and using the midpoint formula, the percentage change in the quantity demanded is: O 32.9%.

QUESTION 9 A perfectiy inelastic demand schedule: O cannot be shown on a two-dimensional graph. O can be represented by a line parallel to the horizontal axis. O rises upward and to the right, but has a constant slope. can be represented by a line parallel to the vertical axis. QUESTION 10 The price of product X is reduced from $100 to $80 and, as a result, the quantity demanded increases from 50 to 00 units. Therefore demand for X in this price range: O has declined. is of unit elasticity. O is inelastic. O is elastic

If an increase in price from $1 to $2 causes a decrease in quantity demanded from 120 to 100, calculate the price elasticity of demand by using the midpoint method. O 1.2 O 1.3 O 0.27 O 0.5
The demand for a commodity generally decreases as the price is raised. Suppose that the demand for oil (per capita per year) is D(p)=1000//p barreis, where p is the price per barrel in dollars. Find the demand when p=55. Estimate the decrease in demand if p rises to 56 and the increase in demand if p is decreased to 54. The demand D(55)= The decrease in demand =? barrels. The increase in demand =? barrels.

Yulia's annual demand for home-delivered coffee beans is given by MWTP(Q) = 500 - 5xQ, where Q is measured in kilograms of beans. In order to use the only delivery service available in Odesa, she must pay an annual membership fee, and then she pays 2400 for each kilogram purchased in that period. What is the largest membership fee Yulia is willing to pay? O 29000 O 28000 O 22000 O 21000 O None of the above.
For a certain good, when price rises from $100 to $150, quantity demanded falls from 2,000 to 1,200. The price elasticity of demand here is making the demand for this good in the price range between $100 and $150. 0.8; inelastic O 0.67; inelastic 0.15; inelastic 1.50; elastic O 1.25; elastic
5.(a). Calculate the point advertising elasticity of demand for advertising expenditures (A) = $10000 also with PT = $10000 (which should make QT= 370). Other variables and their values are given at the top, before question #1. The formula is: (b). Does this elasticity indicate that demand for Toyotas is very responsive to changes in advertising expenditures (thus suggesting that advertising is a very important way to increase sales)? Explain why or why not.
