Answer:
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Price elasticity of demand for beef, Ed = 0.60
Increase in the price of beef = 20%
Now,
Price elasticity of demand for beef,
Ed = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ [ Percentage change in price ]
or
0.60 = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 0.60 × 20%
or
Percentage change in Quantity = 12%
Also,
Price and Quantity are inversely proportional
Hence,
With the increase in price, the quantity will decrease
Therefore,
Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
