Suppose that you are a staff economist with an economic consulting firm. The operator of a local harbour has commissioned your firm to do a market analysis of the demand for berths (parking spaces) for boats. Your firm finds that the price elasticity of demand for berths is –0.8.
If the price of a berth in the area decreases by 6%, how will the quantity of berths that people demand change? The number of berths demanded will:
Increase by 0.8%
Decrease by 7.5%
Increase by 6%
Increase by 4.8%
The inverse demand for good X is given by Px=25-0.005Qx+0.15Py+0.1I where Px is the price of X, Py is the price of Y, I is income, and Qx is the quantity demanded of good X.
The inverse demand is just price as a function of quantity instead of quantity as a function of price. To get the demand function, just solve the equation for Qx. You should do this before answering the following.
Goods X and Y are . . . .. . . .. . . .. . . . .. . . .
X is a . . .. . . . .. . . good.
Suppose that your demand schedule for pizza is as follows: Price (Dollars) 8 10 12 14 16 Quantity of Pizzas Demanded (Income = $20,000) 40 32 24 16 8 Quantity of Pizzas Demanded (Income = $24,000) 50 45 30 20 12 Using the midpoint method, your price elasticity of demand as the price of pizzas increases from $8 to $10 is if your income is $24,000. If the price of a pizza is $12, your income elasticity of demand is pizza is $16, your income elasticity is if your income is $20,000 and as your income increases from $20,000 to $24,000. However, if the price of a

- (Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?arrow_forwardUsing 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_forwardAs the price of good X rises from 10 to 12, the quantity demanded of good Y rises from 100 units to 114 units.

- Suppose that the market for video games is competitive with demand function where is the quantity demanded, is the market price, is the monthly budget that an average consumer has available for entertainment, is the average price of a movie, and is the price of a controller that is required to play these games. Given that use excel to calculate quantity demanded for to in $5 increments. Use the excel’s charting tool to draw the demand curve.arrow_forwardConsider two markets: the market for waffles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $6.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 35.0. When the price is $9.75, the quantity supplied of waffles is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of pancakes is 101.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for pancakes. Please round to two decimal places. Supply in the market for waffles isarrow_forwardConsider the market for a new DVD movie, where the price is initially $8 and 44 copies are sold per day at a superstore, as indicated in the figure to the right. The superstore is considering lowering the price to $4. ] What is the price elasticity of demand between these two prices (use the Midpoint Formula)? The price elasticity of demand is nothing.
