Answer:
Consumer surplus increases by $2
Explanation:
The consumer surplus can be defined as the benefit that consumers gain when they pay less for a good that they are willing to pay more for.
a). Determine the final demand as follows;
Price elasticity of demand=% change in price/% change in demand
where;
price elasticity of demand=-1
% change in price={(Final price-initial price)/initial price}×100
Final price=$24
initial price=$25
% change in price=(24-25)/25=(1/25)×100=-4%
% change in demand=x
replacing in the original expression;
-1=-4/x
x=4%
% change in quantity={final quantity-initial quantity/initial quantity}×100
let final quantity=y
4%={(y-100)/100}×100
0.04=(y-100)/100
4=y-100
y=4+100=104
final quantity=104 units
Consumer surplus=(1/2)×change in price×change in quantity
where;
change in price=25-24=1
change in quantity=104-100=4
Consumer surplus=(1/2)×1×4=2
Consumer surplus increases by $2
Answer:
d. .64.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against change in the price of given product. It measures the ratio of change in demand to change in price.
Change in demand = ( 2200 - 2000 ) / [ (2200+2000)/2 ] = 200 / 2100 = 0.0952
Change in price = ( 1.25 - 1.45 ) / [ (1.25+1.45)/2 ] = 0.2 / 1.35 = 0.148
Elasticity of Demand = Change in demand / change in price = 0.0952 / 0.148 = 0.643 = 0.64
Answer:
358.33 times
Explanation:
The computation of the simple forecast combination is shown below:
= (Forecast sales done by Mary + Forecast sales done by Susan + Forecast sales done by Sarah) ÷ (Total number of observations)
= (341 + 535 + 199) ÷ (3)
= (1,075) ÷ (3)
= 358.33 times
We simply divided the total sales forecasted done by each one by the total number of observations
