Using the double-arrow line drawing tool, show the elastic region of the demand curve by drawing a line segment on top of the portion of the curve that is elastic. Label this line 'Elastic. 2.) Using the double-arrow line drawing tool, show the inelastic region of the demand curve by drawing a line segment on top of the portion of the curve that is inelastic. Label this line 'Inelastic.

- The price elasticity of demand for Craig's chocolate chip cookies is 1.5. Craig wants to increase his total revenue. Would you recommend that Craig raise or lower his price of chocolate chip cookies? Craig should the price of his chocolate chip cookies because the demand for chocolate chip cookies is A. lower; elastic B. lower; unit elastic C. raise; elastic D. raise; inelastic E. lower; inelasticarrow_forwardcan u solve point d to i d. What is the notation used for this limit value? e. Calculate the limit value. f. Find the point elasticity of demand for p = 1 and determine whether demand is (perfectly) inelastic, is (perfectly) elastic or has unit elasticity. g. Use your answer to question f. to approximate the change in demand when the price of 1 is increased by 0.25%. h. What can you derive from your answer to question f. about the change in revenue when the price is slightly increased starting from p=1? i. Find the price level at which the demand has unit elasticity.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions in your own words. Start a new thread while replying. 1. What are the determinants of price elasticity of demand? Explain the determinants. 2. What is the difference between inelastic demand and elastic demand? Provide an example of each from real life. 3. Refer to the graph below: Price 22 20 + 18 +- 16 + 14 B 12 10 + 4 Demand +++ 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 Buaxtity From the graph above calculate: a. Price elasticity of demand from point A to point B (use the mid-point method). Is it an elastic situation or an inelastic situation? b.
