(Other Elasticity Measures) Complete each of the following sentences: a. The income elasticity of demand measures, for a given price, the __________ in quantity demanded divided by the __________ income from which it resulted. b. If a decrease in the price of one good causes a decrease in demand for another good, the two goods are __________. c. If the value of the cross-price elasticity of demand between two goods is approximately zero, they are considered __________.
Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
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?
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?
Plot the price and quantity data given in the demand schedule of exercise 1. Put price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. Indicate the price elasticity value at each quantity demanded. Explain why the elasticity value gets smaller as you move down the demand curve.
Isabella always spends $50 on red roses each month and simply adjusts the quantity she purchases as the price changes. What can you say about Isabella's elasticity of demand for roses?
