The price of a daffodil is $0.97. When average income is $52,000 demand for daffodils is given by P = 5.2 - 0.0025Q, and when average income is $58,000 demand for daffodils is given by P = 5.5 - 0.0025Q. Calculate the income elasticity of demand. Remember to leave at least two numbers after the decimal. If the answer is negative you m

Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
Prove that price elasticity of demand is not the same as the slope of a demand curve.
Suppose Sally buys exactly five bars of English toffee each week, regardless of whether the toffee bars are regularly priced at 1 or on sale for 0.50. Based on this information, what is Sallys price elasticity of demand for English toffee in this price range? a. 0 b. 1 c. Infinity d. Cannot be determined.
If the elasticity of demand for hamburgers equals 21.5 and the quantity demanded equals 40,000, predict what will happen to the quantity demanded of hamburgers when the price increases by 10 percent. If the price falls by 5 percent, what will happen?
If the midpoint on a straight-line demand curve is at a price of $7, what can we say about the elasticity of demand for a price change from $12 to $10? What about from $6 to $4?
