A company is interested in examining elasticity of a new product. Economists at that company estimate that short run and long run demands are QD=400-4P and QD= 200-1P respectively. At price of P=75
-
What is the price elasticity of demand in the short run?
-
What is the price elasticity of demand in the long run?
-
Given your answers in 1) and 2), is this product a durable or non-durable good?
Homework Answers
When P=75
QD in the short run = 400-4*75 = 100
QD in the long run = 200-1*75 = 125
Elasticity in the short run = -4*75/100 = -3
Elasticity in the long run = -1*75/125 = -0.6
The product is a durable good as the price increase will cause the demand to fall in the long run

A good is considered normal when its income elasticity of demand is ___ and inferior when the its income elasticity of demand is ___. Greater than zero, less than zero. Less than zero, greater than zero. Greater than one, less than one. Less than one, greater than one.

For each of the following cases, calculate the point price elasticity of demand, and state whether demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic. The demand curve is given by QD = 5,000 – 50 PX a. If the price of the product is $50. b. If the price of the product is $75. 2) For each case, should the firm raise or lower the prices to maximize revenues? Why or Why not? Explain. 3) Suppose the income elasticity of demand...
