icang [17]

Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.

Tema [17]

Answer:

45%

Explanation:

The market for good x is initially in equilibrium at $5. the government then places a per-unit tax on good x, as shown by the shift of s1 to s2.

As a result of the shift in the supply curve a new equilibrium price is established at $6.25

That implies that the share of the burden that consumers will bear is $1.25 (which represents 55% portion of the tax) - the difference between the previous and new equilibrium prices.

The other 45% portion of the tax will be borne by the producers
