- When the local pizza parlor prices pizzas at $12 each, it generally sells 7000 pizzas per month. If it lowers the price to $10, sales increase to 9000 pizzas per month. Given this information, we know that the price elasticity of demand for pizza is about 1.38, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in a decrease in total revenue. 0.72, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in an increase in total revenue. 0.72, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in a decrease in total revenue. 1.38, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in an increase in total revenue.arrow_forwardIf the current price elasticity of demand for apples is -50, what will be the change in sales (i.e., total revenue) after a 20% price increase? Please show your calculation.arrow_forwardA recent report by the Centers for Disease Control looked at the relationship between the price of beer and the incidence of new cases of STD's. The report concluded that a beer tax increase of $.20 could reduce overall STD rates by 8.9%. Assume that a six pack cost $5.90 before the price increase. Calculate the cross price elasticity between beer and STD's. What is the sign of this cross-price elasticity? According to your estimate, are beer and STD's compliments or substitutes? Does your answer make sense? Explain.arrow_forward
- Why did Keynes’s conjectures hold up well in the studies of household data and short time-series, but fail when long time-series were examined?arrow_forwardCalculate the Elasticity Coefficient for the following scenario. Patty bakes pies, she sells them for $10 each and sells about 55 pies per week. But the price of her ingredients increased so she' s contemplating a price increase. She will raise the price to $12 and she estimates her demand will fall to 50 pies per week. Calculate the elasticity coefficient for Patty's Pies. Are Patty's Pies elastic or inelastic? Should she raise her prices? Or keep them the same? You should be able to show your work.arrow_forwardIf you know that your consumers have an income elasticity of +2.5, and you expect incomes to go up by 2% next year, what can you expect will happen to demand for your product?arrow_forward
- A rise in the price of a muffin from $2 to $3 results in a fall in the quantity demanded of muffins from 200 million to 160 million a day. Moreover, at today's price of a donut of $1.50, the quantity demanded of donuts increases from 70 million to 100 million a day. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for muffins (show calculations) Is the demand for muffins elastic or inelastic? Calculate the cross elasticity of demand for donuts with respect to the price of a muffin. (show calculations) Based on the above calculation how would you characterize the relationship between muffins and donuts? Why would the business owner want to know this? Only typed solutionarrow_forwardIf price decreases from 20 $ to 12 $, what will be the magnitude of price elasticity of demand? Calculate showing formula, figures and arithmetic operations. Use simple notation. Example: (8+2)/2=5. *arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
- When price of a good is 13 per unit, the consumer buys 11 units of that good. When price rises to 15 per unit the consumer continues to buy 11units. Calculate price elasticity of demand.arrow_forwardIf the price of new automobiles decreases by 5%, and the quantity of new automobiles demanded increases by 20%, then the price elasticity of demand is equal to: 1.1. 2. 0.25. 3.4. 4.0.75.arrow_forwardThe subway fare in your town has just been increased from 50 cents to $1.00 per ride. As a result, the transit authority notes a decline in ridership of 30 percent. What is the price elasticity of demand for subway rides? –0.45 0.45 2.22 –2.22arrow_forward
