- Demand for personal computers (PCs) can be characterized as point elasticity as follows: Price elasticity = -5, cross-price elasticity with software = -4, and income elasticity = 2.5. Whether the statements written in points a, b, c, and d below are true or false, and are accompanied by a description / explanation / calculation that supports your opinion. A. Decreasing PC prices will increase the demand for PCs and will also increase total revenue.B. The value of cross-price elasticity above indicates that a 5% decrease in PC price will lead to a 20% increase in software demand.C. Demand for PC is price elastic and PC is normal good.D. A decrease in software prices will increase the income received by PC sellers and software sellers.arrow_forwardAnswer the next question on the basis of the following demand schedule.

Multiple Choice Although the slope of the demand curve is constant, price elasticity of demand goes from elastic to inelastic as we move from high to low price ranges. Although the slope of the demand curve is constant, price elasticity of demand goes from Inelastic to elastic as we move from high to low price ranges. Although the demand curve is convex to the origin, price elasticity of demand is constant throughout. A steep slope means demand is relatively inelastic, a flat slope means demand is relatively elasticarrow_forwardIf Starbucks’s marketing department estimates the income elasticity of demand for its coffee to be 2.25, how will the prospect of an economic bust (expected to decrease consumers’ incomes by 2 percent over the next year) impact the quantity of coffee Starbucks expects to sell?Instruction: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.It will change by percent.arrow_forward
- Choose a product which you are familiar with. Using the internet for research (please cite your source), what is the price elasticity of demand for this product or group of products? What does that mean with respect to a 10% increase in the price of this good? What happens to quantity demanded? Which of the 4 determinants of price elasticity of demand do you believe drives this outcome about the good's price elasticity? If there is more than one determining factor, please explain your reasoning. [for many goods, all of the 4 determinants come into play - I just want you to choose the one or two that you believe are most relevant).arrow_forwardHow would the following changes in price affect total revenue?
