What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
Income Effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good limit you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
If a 10 decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8 increase in quantity demanded of that product, will another 10 decrease in the price cause another 3 increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded?
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by 3. What will happen to the demand for apples?
Explain all the reasons why a decrease in a products price would lead to an increase in purchases.
The equation for a demand curve is P=483Q. What is the elasticity in moving from quantity of 5 to a quantity of 6?
Consider the demand for hamburgers. If the price of a substitute good (for example, hot dogs) increases and the price of a complement good (for example, hamburger buns) increases, can you tell for sure what will happen to the demand for hamburger? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded (income = 10,000) Quantity Demanded (income = 12,000) 8 40 DVDs 50 DVDs 10 32 45 12 24 30 14 16 20 16 8 12 a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 10,000 and (ii) your income is 12,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 10,000 to 12,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.
Maria has decided always to spend one third of her income on clothing. a. What is her income elasticity of clothing demand? b. What is her price elasticity of clothing demand? c. It Marias tastes change and she decides to spend only one fourth of her income on clothing, how does her demand curve change? What is her income elasticity and price elasticity now?
