The demand curve suggests that an auto manufacturer will sell 20,000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class vehicles when they are priced at $50,

800, but when the price is reduced to $45,000, that quantity will increase to 27,000 units. What is the resulting elasticity?

d. 1.24

Answer:

c. -3.07

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

  • % change in quantity demanded = (27,000 - 20,000) / 20,000 = 0.35 = 35%
  • % change in price = (45,000 - $50,800) / $50,800 = -0.114 = 11.4%

price elasticity of demand = 35% / -11.4% = -3.07 or |3.07| in absolute terms

since the price elasticity is higher than |1|, then it is price elastic, which means that a 1% change in price will change the quantity demand in a higher proportion.

Kipish [7]

Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high

Explanation:

If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.

However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.
