Ten days later, the price and quantity demanded are 6 and 150 units, respectively. What is the price elasticity of demand between the 7 and 6 prices?What does a price elasticity of demand of 0.39 mean?3ST4ST1ST2ST1ST2ST3ST4ST1QPFor each of the following, identify where demand is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic: a. Price rises by 10 percent, and quantity demanded falls by 2 percent. b. Price falls by 5 percent, and quantity demanded rises by 4 percent. c. Price falls by 6 percent, and quantity demanded does not change. d. Price rises by 2 percent, and quantity demanded falls by 1 percent.Prove that price elasticity of demand is not the same as the slope of a demand curve.4QP5QPSuppose a straight-line downward-sloping demand curve shifts rightward. Is the price elasticity of demand higher, lower, or the same between any two prices on the new (higher) demand curve than on the old (lower) demand curve?7QP8QP9QP10QP11QP12QP13QP14QPA college raises its annual tuition from 23,000 to 24,000, and its student enrollment falls from 4,877 to 4,705. Compute the price elasticity of demand. Is demand for the college elastic or inelastic?As the price of good X rises from 10 to 12, the quantity demanded of good Y rises from 100 units to 114 units. Are X and Y substitutes or complements? What is the cross elasticity of demand?The quantity demanded of good X rises from 130 to 145units as income rises from 2,000 to 2,500 a month. What is the income elasticity of demand for good X?The quantity supplied of a good rises from 120 to 140 as price rises from 4 to 5.50. What is the price elasticity of supply of the good?5WNG1ST2ST3ST1ST2ST1ST2ST1QP2QP3QP4QP5QP6QP7QP8QP9QP10QP11QP12QP13QP14QP15QP16QP1WNG2WNG3WNG4WNG5WNG6WNG7WNG1QP2QP3QP4QP1ST2ST3ST4ST1ST2ST3ST1ST2ST3ST4ST1ST2ST3ST1QP2QP3QP4QP5QP6QP7QP8QP9QP10QP11QP12QP13QP14QP15QP16QP17QP18QP19QP1WNG2WNG3WNG4WNG5WNG6WNG7WNG8WNG9WNG1ST2ST3ST4ST1ST2ST3ST4ST1ST2ST3ST4ST1ST2ST1QP2QP3QP4QP5QP6QP7QP8QP9QP10QP11QP12QP13QP14QP15QPMany plumbers charge the same price for coming to your house to fix a kitchen sink.
