suppose there is a market demand for coffee that express with the function Qd=252-4p and at the same time the supply of coffee is perfectly inelastic Qs=172, therefore farmers cannot change the supply quanitiy in the shortrun. so make a graph and calculate 1)consumer surplus, 2)the own-price elasticity of demand at $40/unit, and 3)the reservation price of consumers where demand elasticity equal 0.189.

(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
Suppose a straight-line downward-sloping demand curve shifts rightward. Is the price elasticity of demand higher, lower, or the same between any two prices on the new (higher) demand curve than on the old (lower) demand curve?
If automobiles and gasoline are complements, then their cross-elasticity coefficient is a. strictly greater than 1. b. positive. c. equal to zero. d. negative.
The demand function for a certain brand of DVD is given by p = = -0.001x? – 0.2x + 8 where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. Determine the consumers' surplus if the mar- ket price is set at $18 per disc.
Suppose a market has the demand function QD =12 - 0.6P Using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand between $10 and $20 (calculate your answers up to two decimal points, such as 2.0, 2.01, 2.10 Please do not use fractions or percentages. For example, do not write 22%, write as 0.22 instead) for p1=$10, q1= for p2=$20, q2= percentage change of price = percentage change of quantity= price elasticity of demand =
Suppose that Demand can be described by the function Q 100-7p. What is the price elasticity of demand around a price of 557 $55
Imagine you work as an economist for a particular airline (A). Your job entails estimating the passenger demand for airline travel provided by A. Accordingly, you estimate the following: Price elasticity of demand for A’s service = 3 Cross elasticity of demand for A’s service (with respect to airline B’s price) = 2 Income elasticity of demand for A’s service = 1 Making sure to show all of your work, if consumer income falls by 5% (due to a recession), and at the same time airline B lowers its price by 10%, all else equal, what would you specifically recommend A due to its price to maintain its quantity of passengers (i.e., lower or raise its price and by what percent)? Hint: Elasticities are ratios of percentage changes.
Which of the following statements is true? a) If the PED for a product is less than zero, the demand for the product is said to be inelasticb) If the PED for a product is greater than zero, the demand for the product is said to be elasticc) The flatter the demand curve the more inelastic the demand for the productd) If the product is a necessity, then the demand tends to be more inelastic The Consumer Surplus is a) the difference between what a consumer wishes to buy and what he can afford to buyb) the difference between what the consumer plans to buy and what he actually buysc) the difference between what the consumers is willing to pay for a product and what he paysd) the difference between what the consumer is able to pay and what he actually pays
Suppose that you are a staff economist with an economic consulting firm. The operator of a local harbour has commissioned your firm to do a market analysis of the demand for berths (parking spaces) for boats. Your firm finds that the price elasticity of demand for berths is –0.8. If the price of a berth in the area decreases by 6%, how will the quantity of berths that people demand change? The number of berths demanded will: Increase by 0.8% Decrease by 7.5% Increase by 6% Increase by 4.8%
Suppose that the price elasticity of demand for good q is constant and equal to -1. When the price of q is $15 per unit, the total amount demanded is 600 units. If the supply is perfectly inelastic at 150 units, the equilibrium price (p) and the equilibrium quantity (q) is (a) p = 20, q = 50 (b) p = 40, q = 100 (c) p = 60, q = 150 (d) p = 80, q = 200 (e) None of the above.
