Daffy’s is a pet care company that recently increased the average price of its services by 5%. As a result, the number of customers dropped by 4%. Assume that the average disposable income in the area in which it operates decreased by 4% over the last year. As a result, the number of customers at Daffy’s decreased by 3%. Based on this information, what is the income elasticity of demand for services at Daffy’s? Are pet care services at Daffy’s considered normal goods?
Every month a certain firm purchases exactly 50 bottles of water to restock its kitchen, regardless of price. Assume that the whole water stock is consumed during the work week and that no extra bottles will be purchased. What is the firm's own price elasticity of demand for this product in absolute value?
Suppose that the demand for lawn fertilizer can be expressed as QD = 5000 - 120P and that the supply of lawn fertilizer can be expressed as QS = 1000 + 80P where Q is measured in thousands of tons per year and P is measured in dollars per thousand tons. What is the price elasticity of demand when the market is in equilibrium?
