6. Person A owns a food truck specializing in artisanal tofu. Person A has been informed that the price elasticity of demand for their most popular tofu meals is greater than 1.If Person A decreases the price of tofu meals... Quantity demanded of tofu increases but only by a little, so revenue will decrease No change in revenue because the number of customers will not change O Quantity demanded of tofu decreases, so revenue stays the same Quantity demanded of tofu increases by a higher percentage than the decrease in price, so revenue increases

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?
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.
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?
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?
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?
Why is the supply curve with constant unitary elasticity a straight line?
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.
Why is the demand curve with constant unitary elasticity concave?
An increase in the supply of a good will decrease the total revenue producers receive if a. the demand curve is inelastic. b. the demand curve is elastic. c. the supply curve is inelastic. d. the supply curve is elastic.
