Demand‚ Supply‚ Market Equilibrium and Elasticity A. Elasticity of demand is shown when the demands for a service or goods vary according to the price. Cross-price elasticity is shown by a change in the demand for an item relative to the change in the price of another. For substitutes‚ when there is a price increase of an item‚ there is an increase in the demand for another item. When viewing complements‚ if there is an increase in the price of an item‚ the demand

upward-sloping supply curves. a. No producer can cover the costs of production at that price. b. Quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded at that price. c. Producers are leaving the industry. d. Consumers are willing to buy all the units produced at that price. 4. Which of the following statements is incorrect? Assume upward-sloping supply curves. a. If the supply curve shifts left and the demand remains constant‚ equilibrium price will rise. b. If the demand curve shifts left and the supply increases

OF ECONOMICS TUTORIAL 4 Reading: Chapter 4 of the textbook. SECTION A 1. The price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in price divided by the percentage change in quantity demanded. F 2. Demand is said to be inelastic when a reduction in price results in a decrease in total revenue. T / F 3. When the price of coffee increases 8%‚ quantity demanded decreases 5%. The elasticity of coffee must be inelastic. (PERCENTAGE OF PRICE IS GREATER THAN THE PERCENTAGE OF QUANTITY BY

1. Why are the concepts of own and cross-price elasticities of demand essential to competitor identification and market definition? (2 points possible) The own-price elasticity of demand determines whether a product faces close substitutes‚ but it does not identify what substitutes are available. Economists can identify substitutes by measuring the cross-price elasticity of demand between two products. The higher is the cross-price elasticity‚ the more readily consumers substitute between two

Demand and Supply: Government and Price Control (in-case kailangan) Price Control – Refers to the fixing of prices by the government. By doing so‚ it creates shortage or surplus. Price Ceiling – A maximum price at which a good can be sold. Price Floor – Minimum price buyers are required to pay for a good. Elasticity The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. That is‚ Price elasticity of demand=ED=
