Example: The price of canned pumpkin increases from $1.00 to $1.50 (50% increase) at the start of November. The equilibrium quantity sold at a local market increases from 200 in October to 400 in November (100% increase).
This seems to be due to an increase (shift) in demand, but the supply curve has not changed. Then both of these points are on the supply curve.
Based on this data, it seems like the price elasticity of _______ is _______
A. Supply.2
B. Supply, 4.
C. Demand, -2
D. Demand, 4
Homework Answers
Correct option is (A).
Since supply curve has not changed (shifted), these points represent movement along the supply curve.
Elasticity of supply = % Change in quantity supplied / % Change in price = 100% / 50% = 2

2. Every fall, once the weather begins to cool off, demand for pumpkin spice lattes (PSLs) picks up. This past fall, demand for PSLs in Nacogdoches was estimated to be Q D = 10−0.5P where P is the price of a PSL in dollars, and Q D is the quantity demanded in thousands per day. The supply is given by Q S = −5+2P. (a) What are the equilibrium price and quantity of PSLs in Nacogdoches? (b) What is the...

Suppose that a rise in average income increases the demand for
preventative dental visits.
a. The increase in income leads to an increase
in (quantity supplied OR supply). This is because, as demand
increases, (the supply curve shifts to the right to accommodate the
increase in demand OR the equilibrium quantity moves up the supply
curve to a higher price and more quantity supplied).
b. Shift the appropriate curve or curves below
to show the effect of this change.
