Suppose Josh’s elasticity of demand for hamburgers is -1.25. If the price increased 25%, how would Josh's hamburger purchases change?
increase hamburger purchases by 31.25 percent |
decrease hamburger purchases by 31.25 percent. |
increase hamburger purchases by 20.1 percent |
decrease hamburger purchases by 20.1 percent |
increase hamburger purchases by 1.25% |
decrease hamburger purchases by 1.25% |
Question 3
Suppose the price of steak dropped from $10.00/lb to $9.00/lb. If steak is inelastic over this range, we would expect
Total revenue of steak to fall |
Total revenue of steak to increase |
Total revenue for steak to increase or decrease (can’t tell with the available information). |
Question 4
If the elasticity of demand for carpet is -1.5, then a 5% price increase will
Decrease quantity demanded by 2.5% |
Decrease quantity demanded by 7.5% |
Decrease quantity demanded by 15% |
Increase quantity demanded by 2.5% |
Increase quantity demanded by 7.5% |
Increase quantity demanded by 15% |
Answer
option 2
Price elasticity of demand =%change in quantity/%change in
price
-1.25=%change in quantity/25
%change in quantity=(-1.25)*25
=-31.25
the quantity will decrease by 31.25%, the negative sign shows a
decrease.
--------------------
Q3
Answer
Option 1
Total revenue of steak to fall
The total revenue is maximum at unit elastic demand, and the
elasticity and price have a positive relationship as the price
increases the elasticity increases. The demand is inelastic means
it's below unit elastic, and if the price decreases the revenue
will decreases as the decreased elasticity will decrease more, it
will become more inelastic. It is because an inelastic demand means
the quantity changes less than the price in proportion, so the
product of it decreases.

Q4
Answer
Option 2
Price elasticity of demand =%change in quantity/%change in
price
-1.5=%change in quantity/5
%change in quantity=(-1.5)*5
=-7.5
the quantity will decrease by 7.5%; the negative sign indicates a
decrease.

Suppose demand for hamburgers is: Q = 16 − P 2. a) How many hamburgers do you sell if the price is P = 2? What is your total revenue? b)What is the elasticity of demand for hamburgers at P = 2? Is demand on the elastic or inelastic region of the demand curve? c) Suppose price increases by 10%. Use the elasticity of demand to show what you expect to happen to quantity (roughly). Use this to predict what...
Price Elasticity of Demand: AWAKE Price Elasticity of Demand measurers how changed in a price affect the quantity of the product demanded. Specifically, it is the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in price. In order to understand how to plan a successful pricing program, marketers must understand how elastic or inelastic the consumers are to changes in price. In other words, to what extent will a price increase or decrease result in changes...
