A 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.

Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows:Price: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16Demand (income =$10000) : 40, 32, 24, 16, 8Demand (income = $12000): 50, 45, 30, 20, 12a. If your income is $10,000, your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs rises from $8 to $10 is
IGCSE ECONOMICS As a person buys more of a good, the total utility they get from it rises. But it does not rise by the same amount each time. In fact, it rises by a smaller amount with each good consumed. The extra utility gained from consuming one more unit is called marginal utility. Question A demand schedule for the consumption of orange light bulbs is shown below: Price of orange light bulbs Market demand per month 50p 100 000 40p 150 000 200 000 30p 20p 260 000 10p 330 000 5p 400 000 1) Plot the demand curve on a piece of graph paper, labelling it correctly. Label the page demand curve 2 2) Use the graph to work out how many orange light bulbs would be demanded at a price of: Price Number of bulbs demanded 45p 50 35p 50 15p 3) Explain the difference between individual demand and market demand.
Suppose that when income decreases by 4%, the quantity of margarine demanded rises by 1%. Knowingthis, the income elasticity (EI) for margarine is(A) EI = .25(B) EI = -1/4(C) EI = -4(D) EI = -3
You have data on Meena's quantity demanded for craft beer and theirincome. According to this data when Meena's income falls by 7% theassociated change in their quantity demanded for beer is 11%. You don'tknow if it is an increase or decrease in quantity demanded. From pastresearch you know that craft beer is a normal good for Meena. Use thisinformation to calculate Meena's income elasticity of demand.
P & A Ch 05 Q10 Consider public policy aimed at smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.2. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $5 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 10%, it should increase the price by ? %. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, the effect on smoking 1 year from now will be ( larger / smaller ) than the effect 3 months from now. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than do adults. Which of the following statements are consistent with this result? Check all that apply. Adults are more likely to be addicted to cigarettes. Teenagers do not have as much income as adults, so they are more price sensitive. It is legal for adults to consume alcohol, so many choose to spend their money on that good rather than cigarettes.
Suppose the average age of Stanford Alumni increased at the same time the smaller stadium was built and the income elasticity of ticket sales is .5 Group of answer choices Tickets are an inferior good. If income increases with age, it is more likely the smaller stadium will increase total revenue because any increase in ticket revenue from the increase in prices will be reinforced by an increase in ticket sales from the higher income of Stanford Alumni. If income increases with age, it is less likely the smaller stadium will increase total revenue because any increase in ticket revenue from the increase in prices will be offset by a decrease in ticket sales from the higher income of Stanford Alumni.
