5. a. Using the data found in Question 1, calculate the elasticity of demand and elasticity of supply at each price change in the market for gold picture frames using the midpoint formula for both supply and demand. Because you are calculating the change between two levels, you will have 7 calculations for the 8 prices. mark Price Quantity $45 $60 $95 $160 Demanded $185 1,800,00 $100 1,300,000 $210 1,575,000 $125 1,395,000 1,330,000 1,085,000 900,000 745,000 Elasticity of Quantity Demand Supplied 645,000 740,000 865,000 910,000 1,395,000 1,750,000 1,925,000 2,100,000 Elasticity of Supply

What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by 3. What will happen to the demand for apples?
Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
When someones kidneys fail, the person needs to have medical treatment with a dialysis machine (unless or until they receive a kidney transplant) or they will die. Sketch a supply and demand diagram, paying attention to the appropriate elasticities, to illustrate that the supply of such dialysis machines will primarily determine the pure.
The equation for a demand curve is P=483Q. What is the elasticity in moving from quantity of 5 to a quantity of 6?
What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
If demand is elastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?
The equation for a supply curve is 4P=Q. What is the elasticity of supply as price rises from 3 to 4? What is the elasticity of supply as the price rises from 7 to 8? Would you expect these answers to be the same?
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?
The avenge annual income rises from 25,000 to 33,000, and the quantity of bleed consumed in a year by the avenge person falls from 30 loaves to 22 loaves. What is the income elasticity of bread consumption? Is bread a normal or an inferior good?
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
