Question 19
If we know that the elasticity of demand for cigarettes is -0.5, and the government
wants to decrease the quantity of cigarettes demanded by 30%, then what must they
do to the price?
increase it by 60%
decrease it by 60%
increase it by 15%
Suppose you observe the price and quantity demanded of a good at two dates. There is a large
percentage change in price but only a small percentage change in quantity. Which is the most likely
price elasticity of demand?
O 1.5
O 1
O 0.5
For product X, the price elasticity of demand has an
absolute value of 3.5. This means that quantity
demanded will increase by
O 1 unit for each $3.50 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 1 percent for each 3.5 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 units for each $1 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 percent for each 1 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.

- (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_forwardSuppose you are in change of sales at a pharmaceutical company, and your firm has a new drug that causes bald men to grow hair. Assume that the company wants to earn as much revenue as possible from this drug. If the elasticity of demand for your companys product at the current price is 1.4, would you advise the company to raise the price, lower the price, or to keep the price the same? What if the elasticity were 0.6? What if it were 1? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardIf an increase in price from $1 to $2 causes a decrease in quantity demanded from 120 to 100, calculate the price elasticity of demand by using the midpoint method.
