In economics, elasticity is the measurement of how responsive an economic variable is to a change in another. Elasticity can be quantified as the ratio of the percentage change in one variable to the percentage change in another variable, when the latter variable has a causal influence on the former.

Mensy ltd, produce two goods that have income elasticity values as follows- Good A= -0.5 and Good B=4.
a) explain the income elasticity of demand for good A and good B
Income elasticity for Good A is -0.5. It means that when income increases on one point, consumption of this Good A decreases on 0.5 points. It can be some cheap...

If the supply equation is given as Q=-200+10P, the price elasticity of supply between R40 and R50, calculated using the arc elasticity of demand, is?
Arc elasticity of demand is ((Q2 – Q1)/midpoint Q)/((P2 – P1)/midpoint P) Q1=-200+10P = 40, P=24 Q2=-200+10P = 50, P=25 Arc elasticity of demand = ((50-40)/45)/((25-24)/24,5)=5.44

If the supply equation is given as Qs = -200+10P, the price elasticity of supply between R40 and R50, calculated using the arc elasticity of demand is
If Qs = -200 + 10P, P1 = R40, P2 = R50, Q1 = -200 + 10*40 = 200, Q2 = -200 + 10*50 = 300, then the price elasticity...

Decrease in price from R50 to R40 causes quantity demands to increase from 2500 to 3000.using sex elasticity of demand ,the price elasticity of demand is
1) PED = (% change in quantity demanded) / (% change in price) = = ((3000-2500)/2500) / ((40-50)/50) = -1

A decrease in the price of a product from R50,00 to R40,00 causes the quantity demanded to
increase from 2 500 to 3 000 units. Using the arc elasticity of demand, the price elasticity of
E_d^p=((Q2-Q1)/((Q2+Q1)/2))/((P2-P1)/((P2+P1)/2))=((3000-2500)/((3000+2500)/2))/((40-50)/((40+50)/2))=0.18/(-0.22)=-0.82
