- Recent research confirms that the demand for cigarettes is not only inelastic, but it also indicates that smokers with incomes in the lower half of all incomes respond to a given price increase by reducing their purchases by amounts that are more than four times as large as the purchase reductions made by smokers in the upper half of all incomes. How can the income and substitution effects of a price change help explain this finding?(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?Suppose that a person regards ham and cheese as pure complements—he or she will always use one slice of ham in combination with one slice of cheese to make a ham and cheese sandwich. Suppose also that ham and cheese are the only goods that this person buys, and that bread is free.6.1. If the price of ham is equal to the price of cheese, show that the own-price elasticity of demand for ham is –0.5 and that the cross-price elasticity ofdemand for ham with respect to the price of cheese is also –0.5.6.2. Explain why the results from (6.1) reflect only income effects, not substitution effects. What are the compensated price elasticities in this problem?6.3. Use the results from (6.2) to show how your answers to (6.1) would change if a slice of ham cost twice the price of a slice of cheese.
- Q2 The demand for good X is given by Qx d = 6,000 − 1/2 Px − Py + 9 Pz + 1/10 M Research shows that the prices of related goods are given by Py = $6,500 and Pz = $100, while the average income of individuals consuming this product is M = $80,000. and Px = $5,230? Find own price elasticity, cross price, and income elasticity. Indicate whether goods Y and Z are substitutes or complements for good X. Good x is an inferior or normal good?Assume a piece of jewelry, and 3 consecutive drops in its price, from ??1 to ??2, from ??2 to ??3 and from ??3 to ??4. Alia’s preferences are such that her demand is relatively elastic between ??1 and ??2, relatively inelastic between ??2 and ??3, and that she perceives that piece of jewelry as a Giffen good between prices ??3 and ??4. How would her priceconsumption curve look like in an indifference curves framework with well-behaved preferences? Clearly label your graph.Be fast Suppose there are three (3) consumers in a market for bottles of perfume; Mutumbu, Jasanu and Julius The individual demand for perfumes for each of these consumers is given as 10 bottles for Mutumbu, 15 bottles for Jasanu and 25 bottles for Julius at $60 per bottle for perfume. Thus, the market demand for perfumes if the market price is $60 is: (a)40 bottles (b)60 bottles (c)80 bottles (d) None of the above
- I. For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded, if price of the same normal good decreases.Q.3. Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is −5, its income elasticity is 2, its advertising elasticity is 3, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is 6. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: Instructions: Enter your responses as percentages. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to use a (−) sign. a. The price of good X decreases by 4 percent. percent b. The price of good Y increases by 7 percent. percent c. Advertising decreases by 3 percent. percent d. Income increases by 2 percent. percent1.(a) Derive own-price elasticity of demand (eii), income elasticity of demand (hi) and cross-price elasticity of demand (eij) for the Cobb-Douglas Utility Function. (b) With respect to Cobb Douglas preferences, what happens to the demand for each of two products (x and y) when the price of product y increases, as a result of: (i) the substitution effect; (ii) the income effect; and, (iii) the overall price effect?
- The market for lemon has 10 potential consumers ,each having an individual demand curve p=101-10Q where p is price in dollars per cup and Q is the number of cups demanded per week by the ¡th consumer.find the market demand curve using algebra . Draw an individual demand curve and the Market demand curve . What is the quantity demanded by each customer and in the market as a whole when lemon is priced at p=$1/cup?a. Determine the demand functions of x and y in the case of a Cobb-Douglas type utility function, in the following cases: α=0.40;β=0.60 Graph the demand functions of the two goods (price as a function of quantity) assuming the individual's income is $500 - Determine what is the quantity demanded of x and y, if the price of good x is USD 1, the price of good y is USD 4, and income is USD 500 - Now, explain what happens to the quantity demanded if the prices of the goods are doubles holding income constant.Income elasticity of demand measures how responsive price is to changes in quantity demanded. how responsive quantity demanded is to changes in income. how responsive income is to changes in education levels. how responsive quantity demanded is to changes in price. For the next part, suppose the income elasticity of demand for butter is 0.470.47. That means butter is an inferior good. a complementary good. a normal good. a substitute good. a luxury good.
