Jaycee Jeans sold 40 pairs of jeans at a price of $40. When it lowered its price to $20, quantity sold increased to 60 pairs.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Initial Units sold, Q1 = 40 pairs

Initial Price, P1 = $40

Final price, P2 = $20

Final units sold = 60 pairs

Now,

Using the midpoint formula,

the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand

price elasticity of demand = $\frac{\frac{Change in quantity sold}{\frac{Total quantity sold}{2}}}{\frac{Change in price}{\frac{Total price}{2}}}$

or

price elasticity of demand = $\frac{\frac{Q2-Q1}{\frac{Q1+Q2}{2}}}{\frac{P1-P2}{\frac{P2+P1}{2}}}$

or

price elasticity of demand = $\frac{\frac{60-40}{\frac{40+60}{2}}}{\frac{40-20}{\frac{40+20}{2}}}$

or

price elasticity of demand = $\frac{\frac{20}{50}}{\frac{20}{30}}$

price elasticity of demand = 0.6

The substitution effect of an increase in the price of Raisin Bran refers to Select one: a. the decrease in the demand for Raisi

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

the fact that the higher price of Raisin Bran relative to its substitutes, such as Cheerios, causes consumers to buy less Raisin Bran.

Explanation:

the substitution effect arises when as a result of a rise in the price of a good, the good becomes more expensive relative to its substitutes. Consumers not consume less of the good and more of the substitute. This leads to a movement up along the demand curve for that goods and not a movement along the demand curve for the good and not a shift of the demand curve.

If the price of the good increases. The good becomes cheaper when compared with substitutes. As a result, the demand for the good increases while that of the substitutes decreases.

The income effect is when an increase in price lowers consumer's purchasing power, holding money income constant.
