a. Using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand when the price changes from $3.00 (P1) to $- b. What describes this price change? Price elastic Instructions: Use the Demand Slider in the "Settings" to have your demand curve match the more elastic demand (Demand: P=$4.80-0.060(Qd)). Use the absolute value for your answer (no minus sign). Round your answer to o place at the end of your calculations. c. Using the midpoint method, what is the price elasticity of demand when the price changes from $3.00 (P₁) to $4. d. What describes this price change? Price elastic Instructions: Use the Demand Slider in the "Settings" to have your demand curve match the more elastic demand c (Demand: P=$6.75-0.125(Qd)). Use the absolute value for your answer (no minus sign). Round your answer to one place at the end of your calculations. from $3.00 (P₁) to $1.00

Calculate the price elasticity, cross-price elasticity, and income elasticity of demand for cement. Explain these figures. Q = f( P, M, PR) where Qc = demand for cement/month (in yards) Pc = the price of cement per yard, M = country’s tax revenues per capita, and PR = the price of asphalt per yard.
Benny used to sell rubber boots at R125 per pair. At this price he was able to sell 50 pairs of boots per day. When he increases the price to R140 per pair, his sales decrease to 42 pairs per day. Use the point method to calculate the elasticity of this product.

Over the range from $20 to $18, Qd goes from 12 to 17. Using this range of prices and quantities, you should calculate the coefficient of price elasticity of demand. In the box labeled H1, the coefficient of price elasticity of demand is: 3.28 5 3.01 2.97 In box H2, you would interpret the coefficient calculated in the previous question. Therefore, you would characterize this range as: Elastic Unit Elastic Inelastic None of the Above
