A good's price elasticity of demand depends in part on how necessary it is relative to other goods. If the following goods are priced approximately the
same, which one has the least elastic demand?
O Amputation procedures for diabetes sufferers
O Yacht
The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good.
Organize the goods found in the following table by indicating which is likely to have the most elastic demand, which is likely to have the least elastic
demand, and which will have demand that falls in between.
Categories
Most Elastic
In Between
Least Elastic
Food
Red bell peppers
less
Vegetables

Microeconomics chapter 3
Supply is a schedule or curve showing the amounts of a productthat producers are willing to offer in the market at each possibleprice during a specific period. The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product. A shift to the rightis an increase in supply; a shift to the left is a decrease in supply. Incontrast, a change in the price of the…

- Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.arrow_forwardWhat effect will each of the following have on the supply of auto tires?

You will recall that price elasticity of demand for a particular good or service is influenced by various factors, including whether the good or service under consideration has substitutes. Is this demand price elastic or inelastic? Why do you think this? Next draw a market demand for a good that has few substitutes. Is this demand price elastic or inelastic and why do you think this? With these two demand curves in mind, please answer the following questions: Discuss a real world example of each and explain why you think they are good examples of the two types of market demand. Why? If you wanted to increase revenue, which demand curve would you rather face as a company? Why? If the demand curves were linear, how would you modify your answer to the question above?
