Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
The equation for a demand curve is P=483Q. What is the elasticity in moving from quantity of 5 to a quantity of 6?
How do you suppose the demographics of an aging population of Baby Boomers' in the United States will affect the demand for milk? Justify your answer.
Consider the demand for hamburgers. If the price of a substitute good (for example, hot dogs) increases and the price of a complement good (for example, hamburger buns) increases, can you tell for sure what will happen to the demand for hamburger? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
