What is the formula for the income elasticity of demand?
From the data in Table 5.5 about demand for smart phones, calculate the price elasticity of demand from: point B to point C, point D to point E, and point G to point H. Classify the elasticity at each point as elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic.
Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded (income = 10,000) Quantity Demanded (income = 12,000) 8 40 DVDs 50 DVDs 10 32 45 12 24 30 14 16 20 16 8 12 a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 10,000 and (ii) your income is 12,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 10,000 to 12,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.
The equation for a demand curve is P=483Q. What is the elasticity in moving from quantity of 5 to a quantity of 6?
Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?
