The price of aspirin rose sharply last month, whilethe quantity sold remained the same. Five peoplesuggest various diagnoses of the phenomenon:Meredith: Demand increased, but supply wasperfectly inelastic.Alex: Demand increased, but it wasperfectly inelastic.Miranda: Demand increased, but supplydecreased at the same time.Richard: Supply decreased, but demand wasunit elastic.Owen: Supply decreased, but demand wasperfectly inelastic.Who could possibly be right? Use graphs to explainyour answer.
You have data on Meena's quantity demanded for craft beer and theirincome. According to this data when Meena's income falls by 7% theassociated change in their quantity demanded for beer is 11%. You don'tknow if it is an increase or decrease in quantity demanded. From pastresearch you know that craft beer is a normal good for Meena. Use thisinformation to calculate Meena's income elasticity of demand.
The following table shows three demand schedules for a person who likes toplay football and/or go swimming. In scenario S1, his income is $100,000 per yearand swimming cost $18 each. In scenario S2, his income is also $100,000 peryear, but the price of swimming rises to $22 per round. And in scenario S3, hisincome increases to $140,000 per year while swimming cost $22 per round.A. Use data under S1 and S2 to calculate the cross elasticity of demand for footballat all three prices. (Use the midpoint formula) Is the cross elasticity the same at allthree prices? What type of goods are football and swimming? Why?b. Use data under S2 and S3 to calculate the income elasticity of demand forfootball at all three prices. (Use the midpoint formula) Is the income elasticity thesame at all three prices?

The Globe and Mail (December 16, 1997) reported that milk consumption declined following price increases: “Since the early 1980s, the price of milk in Canada has increased 22 per cent. As prices rose, the demand for milk fell off. Total [consumption] of milk on a per capita basis dropped . . . to 2.62 hectolitres in 1995 from 2.92 hectolitres in 1986.” Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for milk. (1.5marks) 0.49 milk is inelastic According to your estimate, what happens to milk producers’ revenue when the price of milk rises? (1 mark) When the price of milk rises milk producers revenue drop because the demand for milk dropped Why might your estimate of the elasticity be unreliable? (Hint: Notice that The Globe and Mail is careless about the distinction between demand and quantity demanded.) (1 mark)
Suppose an economist says that "Other things equal, the lower the price of strawberries, the greater the amount of strawberries purchased." This statement indicates that: one cannot generalize about the relationship between the price of strawberries and the quantity purchased. all factors other than the price of strawberries (for example, consumer tastes and incomes) are assumed to be constant. O the quantity of strawberries purchased determines the price of strawberries. O economists can conduct controlled laboratory experiments.
IGCSE ECONOMICS As a person buys more of a good, the total utility they get from it rises. But it does not rise by the same amount each time. In fact, it rises by a smaller amount with each good consumed. The extra utility gained from consuming one more unit is called marginal utility.

In a certain market for sobolo,when the price of the drink was Ghc 3 the quantity demanded was 12bottles.On another day,when the price per bottle was 5 cedis,the quantity demanded was 6 bottles.Use the information to write the equation for demand.Now,what will be quantity demanded if price per bottle was 6cedis.If we restrict price to the same demand curve,what will happen if price is less than Ghc 2.
