Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
Describe the general appearance of a demand or a supply curve with infinite elasticity.
If supply is elastic, will shifts in demand have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?
If demand is elastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?
An increase in the supply of a good will decrease the total revenue producers receive if a. the demand curve is inelastic. b. the demand curve is elastic. c. the supply curve is inelastic. d. the supply curve is elastic.
When someones kidneys fail, the person needs to have medical treatment with a dialysis machine (unless or until they receive a kidney transplant) or they will die. Sketch a supply and demand diagram, paying attention to the appropriate elasticities, to illustrate that the supply of such dialysis machines will primarily determine the pure.
Would you expect supply to play a more significant role in determining the price of a basic necessity like food or a luxury like perfume? Explain. Hint: Think about how the price elasticity of demand will differ between necessities and luxuries.
If demand is inelastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium price or on quantity?
The New York Times reported (Feb. 17, 1996) that subway ridership declined after a fare increase: There were nearly four million fewer riders in December 1995, the first full month after the price of a token increased 25 cents to 1.50, than in the previous December, a 4.3 percent decline. a. Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for subway rides. b. According to your estimate, what happens to the Transit Authoritys revenue when the fare rises? c. Why might your estimate of the elasticity be unreliable?
The equation for a supply curve is 4P=Q. What is the elasticity of supply as price rises from 3 to 4? What is the elasticity of supply as the price rises from 7 to 8? Would you expect these answers to be the same?
Why is the demand curve with constant unitary elasticity concave?
From the data in Table 5.6 about supply of alarm clocks, calculate the price elasticity of supply from: point J to point K, point L to point M, and point N to point P. Classify the elasticity at each point as elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic.
