Answer:

The own price elasticity is 0.28.

The demand for good a is inelastic.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand for a product is the change in the quantity demanded of a product due to a change in its price.

When the price of good A increases by 7% the quantity demanded of that product decreases by 2%.

The own price elasticity of demand

= \frac{change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{change\ in\ price}

= \frac{2}{7}

= 0.28

The elasticity of demand is less than 1, this implies that demand is inelastic.

A greater change in price is leading to a smaller change in quantity demanded.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

the coefficient of elasticity is 0.5. Thus, demand is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Price elasticity = 2/4 = 0.5

Because demand is less than1, big g has an inelastic demand.
