Select all that apply: Demand is elastic O A price increase will increase revenue. O A price increase will decrease revenue. Demand is inelastic. Question Suppose that a product p and demand x are related through the price-demand equation 40p + x = 5, 000. Calculate the elasticity of demand when p = 10. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply Select all that apply: O At p = 10 revenue decreases with respect to price. O At p = 10 revenue increases with respect to price O At p = 10 the demand is inelastic. O At p = 10 the demand is elastic.

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?
Why is the demand curve with constant unitary elasticity concave?
The Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfigh ter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopde cays sales declined by 1,500 units per month. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecays toothbrush and Decayfighters toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is 1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?
