The chart below shows how annual electricity for an average Ontario household would vary with the price paid for electricity. Calculate the arc elasticity of demand for electricity for this average houschold. Also, in the final column, calculate the total revenue from sales of clectricity to this household. Price Quantity Demanded Kwh/year Total Revenue $/kwh Elasticity of Demand $0.25 1200 -0.36 $0.20 1300 $0.15 1400 $0.10 1500 $0.05 1600 Hint: The own price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in the price. What factors do you think influence the elasticity of demand for this household?

Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is Oceans are ? from meaning that hotel rooms at the If the price of a room at the Meadows were to decrease by 20%, from $200 to $160,…
Question 6 [A new drug called 'LowG', taken together with any food, reduces the glycemic index (a measure of the impact of the food on blood sugar) by 50%. Annual demand for this new medication can be described by the following table:] Quantity (millions of milligrams) 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 Price ($) 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 a) [Rache, a pharmaceutical company, holds the patent on LowG and therefore is the only legal producer of the drug for the next 15 years. Calculate total revenue (TR) and marginal revenue (MR) for Rache at each price. Both Total Revenue (TR) and Marginal Revenue (MR) correctly calculated.
