Suppose household annual demand for gasoline follows the equation QD = 2000 – 500P + 25I where P is the price of a gallon of gasoline and I is household income in 1000s of dollars. Suppose that P = 3 and I = 60. What quantity of gasoline will households demand at this price and income level? __________ What is the income elasticity of demand for gasoline at this price, income, and quantity level? __________ What happens to the income elasticity of gasoline demand if I rises from 60 to 100? It _____________ (rises/falls) to ______________. Does this change in elasticity make gasoline buying more or less sensitive to income changes? __________
P & A Ch 05 Q10 Consider public policy aimed at smoking. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.2. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $5 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 10%, it should increase the price by ? %. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, the effect on smoking 1 year from now will be ( larger / smaller ) than the effect 3 months from now. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than do adults. Which of the following statements are consistent with this result? Check all that apply. Adults are more likely to be addicted to cigarettes. Teenagers do not have as much income as adults, so they are more price sensitive. It is legal for adults to consume alcohol, so many choose to spend their money on that good rather than cigarettes.
Chelsea Izkowski owns a fast food restaurant named Mickey Doodle's Burgers. Sherecently took a course in managerial economics and is eager to apply her knowledge tothe management of her business. She decides to estimate the price elasticity (EP) andincome elasticity (EI) of demand for DoodleBurgers and the cross-price elasticity (EDF) ofdemand for DoodleBurgers with respect to the price of FiddleBurgers, her chiefcompetitor. In order to estimate these elasticities, she collects the information that islisted in the table below, where Q is the quantity of DoodleBurgers sold in a week, PD isthe price of a DoodleBurger during the week, I is per capita annual income, and PF is theprice of a FiddleBurger during the week. Use this information to calculate the arc price,income, and cross-price elasticities of demand for DoodleBurgers.Q 1,000 1,100 983 831PD $1.20 $1.20 $1.20 $1.40I $10,000 $10,000 $11,000 $10,000PF $1.00 $1.10 $1.00 $1.00

Consider a public policy aimed at smoking. The government commissioned a research firm, Super Consulting, to conduct a study on the market demand for cigarettes in Malaysia. The firm reported that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20 percent, by how much should it increase the price? If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking after 1 year from now or 5 years from now? Explain Super Consulting also found that teenagers have higher price elasticity than adults. Why might this be true? Explain Outline and discuss the appropriate economic policies that can be implemented to reduce smoking.
Suppose demand for good A is given by QDA= 500- 5PA+ 2PB+ 0.80I where PA is the price of good A, PB is the price of some other good B, and I is income. Assume that PA is currently Tk.10 PB is currently Tk.5, and I is currently Tk.200. 1. What is the elasticity of demand for good A with respect to the price of good A at the current situation? Hint: Find ∂QDA/∂PA and use in place of (∆QDA/∆PA). Comment on the value of the price elasticity. 2. What is the cross-price elasticity of the demand for good A with respect to the price of good B at the current situation? Hint: Find ∂QDA/∂PB and use in place of (∆QDA/∆PB). Comment on the value of the cross-price elasticity. 3. What is the income elasticity of demand for good A at the current situation? Hint: Find ∂Q/∂I and use in place of (∆Q/∆I). Comment on the value of the income elasticity.
