The price elasticity of demand for a good is calculated as 1.36. From this elasticity co-efficient, we can tell that: (2) (1) The good is not a necessity; (2) The good has many close substitutes; (3) Producers can increase total revenue by decreasing the price of the good; (4) Statements 1, 2 and 3 are all correct

To say there is an elastic demand for a product means that O consumers are not very responsive to a change in the price of the product. there are relatively few substitutes, few competitors, and a short time period under consideration. O there is a positive relationship between price and total revenue. O consumers are very responsive to a change in the price of the product.
5) A certain product has an (own) price elasticity that is elastic, and there is a decrease inthe revenue received. What change in the quantity demanded of a product is necessary to meet theconditions of each situation when there is a 15% increase in the price of that product? Be specific (andsuggest a number).
Two goods have a cross-price elasticity of demand of 1.2: Would you describe the nature of goods? If the price of one good increase by 5 percent, what will happen to the demand for the other good. Also estimates its value holding other factors constant?
Round up the answers to the nearest hundredths. Suppose that business travelers and vacationers have the following demand for airlinetickets from Japan to Philippines. Price in (US Dollars $) Quantity Demanded for Tickets (Business Travelers) Quantity Demanded for Tickets (Vacationers) 150 2,100 1,000 200 2,000 800 250 1,900 600 300 1,800 400 a. As the price of tickets rises from $200 to $250, what is the price elasticityofdemand for:(i) business travelers? (ii) vacationers? (Use the midpoint method in your calculations.) b. Why might vacationers have a different elasticity from business travelers? 2. The price of milk increases from $2.85 per gallon to $3.15 per gallon and the quantitysupplied rises from 9,000 to 11,000 gallons per month.a. Solve for the percentage changes in price and quantity supplied. Solve forthe price elasticity of supply. b. Determine whether it is price elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic.
Indicate what the two (2) main determinants are that price elasticity of demand depends on.
Please help with following question Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -4, its income elasticity is 2, its advertising elasticity is 3, and the cross price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is -6. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: The price of good X increases by 10%. The price of good Y decreases by 5%. Advertising increases by 14%. Income decreases by 8%. thanks
