Answer
the formula is:
The elasticity of demand (E) is -0.33, as the elasticity is above -1, it is inelastic.

If an 11 per cent increase in the price of Kellogg's cereal causes a 12 per cent reduction in the number of boxes of cereal demanded, what is the price elasticity of demand for Kellogg's cereal? nothing (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.) The demand for Kellogg's cereal is; Unit-elastic, inelastic or elastic? .
Suppose that the long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.40. Assume that the price of gasoline is currently $4.00 per gallon, the quantity of gasoline is 140 billion gallons per year, and the federal government decides to increase the excise tax on gasoline by $1.00 per gallon. Suppose that in the long run the price of gasoline increases by $0.70 per gallon after the $1.00 excise tax is a. Using the midpoint formula, after the tax is imposed,...
