Elasticities of demand: แบบฝึกหัด

If the price elasticity of demand (PED) for a product is specifically identified as \(0\), which of the following best describes the shape and orientation of the demand curve?

Which of the following factors is most likely to make the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for a product more elastic?

Which of the following scenarios would lead to a positive Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand (XED) and a negative Income Elasticity of Demand (YED) for Good A?

If the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for a particular brand of organic coffee is 0.4, how will a 10% increase in its price affect the total revenue of the seller?

A firm currently sells its product at a price of \(\$50\). Market research indicates that the price elasticity of demand (PED) for the product is \(1.5\). If the firm decides to decrease the price of the product by \(10\%\), what is the most likely outcome for the quantity demanded and the firm's total revenue?

Define the concept of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) and state the mathematical formula used to calculate its coefficient.

The Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand (XED) between streaming services and cinema tickets is estimated to be \(+0.6\). If the price of streaming services increases by \(15\%\), calculate the percentage change in demand for cinema tickets and identify the direction of the shift in the demand curve for cinema tickets.

Evaluate the relationship between price elasticity of demand (PED) and a government's decision to impose indirect taxes on specific goods to maximize tax revenue.

A local electronics retailer monitors the relationship between the prices of Brand X Smartphones and the demand for Brand Y Wireless Earbuds. Currently, the price of Brand X Smartphones is \$800\), and the quantity of Brand Y Earbuds sold is 150\) units per month. When the price of Brand X Smartphones falls to \$640\), the quantity of Brand Y Earbuds sold increases to 210\) units.

(a) Calculate the Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand (XED) between the two products.
(b) Identify and explain the economic relationship between these two goods based on your result in part (a).
(c) Evaluate the strategic implications for the manufacturer of Brand Y Earbuds if the manufacturer of Brand X Smartphones decides to launch an aggressive price-cutting marketing campaign.

A consumer research study provides the following data regarding two related goods, Product A and Product B. When the price of Product A increases by \( 12\% \), the quantity demanded of Product B increases from 500 units to 580 units per week.

(a) Calculate the Cross Price Elasticity of Demand (XED) between Product A and Product B.
(b) Identify the relationship between the two products based on your calculation result.
(c) Explain how a firm might use XED information when planning its pricing strategy for Product B if it knows its primary competitor is raising the price of Product A.
