Calculate the daily price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $5.00 to $7.50. Please round to the nearest hundredth. Price(per sandwich) Quantity supplied(sandwiches per day) $5.00 200,000 $7.50 210,000 a. Daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches = b. The daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is relatively Elastic or Inelastic Now consider how responsive Subway’s supply of Veggie Delite sandwiches is to changes in price on an annual basis instead of a daily basis. c. Compared to the daily value, the annual price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is likely to be more Inelastic or Elastic and the annual supply curve is likely Flatter or Steeper to be than the daily supply curve.arrow_forwarda. Why do suppliers want to create more inelastic demand relationships in the products that they sell? b. When the price of cellphone charges rises from $480 to $600 a month, the quantity demanded decreases from 204 million to 196 million subscribers. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for cellphone charges. Is the demand for elastic or inelastic? Would the demand for Flow charges be more elastic or less elastic than the demand for overall cellphone charges? Why? c. When the price of rice falls from $100 to $80, the quantity demanded of rice increases from 10 to 25, the quantity demanded of potatoes decreases from 20 to 15, and the quantity demanded of chicken increases from 18 to 35. i.
