(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?
If a decrease in the price of movie tickets increases the total revenue of movie theaters, this is evidence that demand is a. price elastic. b. price inelastic. c. unit elastic with respect to price. d. perfectly inelastic.
For each of the following, identify where demand is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic: a. Price rises by 10 percent, and quantity demanded falls by 2 percent. b. Price falls by 5 percent, and quantity demanded rises by 4 percent. c. Price falls by 6 percent, and quantity demanded does not change. d. Price rises by 2 percent, and quantity demanded falls by 1 percent.
Suppose a straight-line downward-sloping demand curve shifts rightward. Is the price elasticity of demand higher, lower, or the same between any two prices on the new (higher) demand curve than on the old (lower) demand curve?
Prove that price elasticity of demand is not the same as the slope of a demand curve.
Evaluate the following statement: Along a downward-sloping linear demand curve, the slope and therefore the elasticity of demand are both 'constant.
Suppose you learned that the price elasticity of demand for wheat is 0.7 between the current price for wheat and a price 2 higher per bushel. Do you think that farmers collectively would try to reduce the supply of wheat and drive the price up 2 higher per bushel? Explain your answer. Assuming that they would try to reduce supply, what problems might they have in actually doing so?
