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?
Plot the price and quantity data given in the demand schedule of exercise 1. Put price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. Indicate the price elasticity value at each quantity demanded. Explain why the elasticity value gets smaller as you move down the demand curve.

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 $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?
Exercise : Following an increase in it's price, from 10$ to 12$, the demand for a good falls from 10500 to8100 units.What elasticity of demand would you estimate from these data? Calculate its value, first by using the general formula (for discrete changes), then by assuming a constantconstant elasticity of demand (log formula).Calculate the demand for p=9 (note q9 the quantity for p=9), using the general formula then in log of the elasticity calculated in Now, Knowing the value of the direct price elasticity of demand calculated previously, assuming constant costs andcosts and rivals not responding to your price cut, would you have recommended the price cut from 10 to 9?price cut from 10 to 9 ?
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion The elasticity of the house value with respect to the concentration level of PM10 is -9.3. Then a 11% decrease in the concentrations level of PM10 will change the house value by how much?

The price elasticity of demand for a white shirt is 0.8, while the price elasticity of a pair of Levi jeans is 2.4. Explain what you can conclude about the elasticities of these two products. Benny used to sell rubber boots at R125 per pair. At this price he was able to sell 50 pairs of boots per day. When he increases the price to R140 per pair, his sales decrease to 42 pairs per day. Use the point method to calculate the elasticity of this product.
