What range or price elasticity coefficients correspond to the following: a. elastic demand b. inelastic demand c. unit elasticity 4. What does it mean to say that a product is perfectly inelastic? Provide examples. 5. Explain the relationship between total revenue and elasticity. What will happen to total revenue when price is increased for a product with elastic demand? Inelastic demand? Unit elastic...
For each of the following demand curves: i) Find the price-elasticity of demand in terms of P. ii) Determine the range of P values for which the demand curve is perfectly elastic, elastic, unitary elastic, inelastic and perfectly inelastic (your answer will look like, the demand is inelastic for 0 < P < 10, unitary elastic at P = 10, etc). iii) Calculate the price-elasticity of demand at P = 3 and give an interpretation in words of what that...

2. (7 marks) Suppose that in a labour market the labour supply curve is inelastic (that is, a vertical straight line) and the government passes a legislation requiring the employers to pay a fixed amount of hourly benefit to each worker. Who will bear the economic burden of the cost of providing the benefit? Why? perfectly 3. (7 marks) "The greater the price elasticity of output demand the greater will be the likelihood of gross complementarity between labour and capital"....
