Exercise : Following an increase in it's price, from 10$ to 12$, the demand for a good falls from 10500 to8100 units.What elasticity of demand would you estimate from these data? Calculate its value, first by using the general formula (for discrete changes), then by assuming a constantconstant elasticity of demand (log formula).Calculate the demand for p=9 (note q9 the quantity for p=9), using the general formula then in log of the elasticity calculated in Now, Knowing the value of the direct price elasticity of demand calculated previously, assuming constant costs andcosts and rivals not responding to your price cut, would you have recommended the price cut from 10 to 9?price cut from 10 to 9 ?
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion The elasticity of the house value with respect to the concentration level of PM10 is -9.3. Then a 11% decrease in the concentrations level of PM10 will change the house value by how much?

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.
