The price elasticity of demand for air travel differs radically from first-class (1.3) to unrestricted coach (1.4) to restricted discount coach (1.9). What do these elasticities mean for optimal prices (fares) on a cross-country trip with incremental variable costs (marginal costs) equal to $120?
(Determinants of Price Elasticity) Would the price elasticity of demand for electricity be more elastic over a shorter or a longer period of time?
If automobiles and gasoline are complements, then their cross-elasticity coefficient is a. strictly greater than 1. b. positive. c. equal to zero. d. negative.
What would the gasoline price elasticity of supply mean to UPS or FedEx?
(Categories of Price Elasticity of Demand) For each of the following absolute values of price elasticity of demand, indicate whether demand is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic. In addition, determine what would happen to total revenue if a firm raised its price in each elasticity range identified. Absolut Value Elasticity Effect of Price Increase a b c d
