If the marginal cost to make a good is $166 and the price
elasticity of demand is -8, what price should be charged via the
optimal markup rule? Enter as a value (round to two decimal places
if necessary).

10. If the price elasticity of demand for a good is zero, and
the supply for that good is relatively price elastic, imposing a
tax on the sellers of that good will result in the following
effect:
which one is the correct answer
A. Buyers pay the entire tax
B. Sellers pay the entire tax
C. The tax is split between buyers and sellers
D. The tax has no effect on the price of that good
E. We cannot say...
Price elasticity of demand measures consumers’
responsiveness to changes in the price of a good. There are a
number of variables that affect consumers’ decisions, among them
the following:
The availability of substitutes
The specific nature of the good
The part of income spent on the good
The time consumers have to buy the good
Please draw on your experiences as a consumer and your Unit 2
readings to address the following 4 topics. Make sure you use
economic concepts...
A
cross price elasticity of demand of -1.5 for Good X and Good Y
suggests that if the price of of Good X increases by 5.0 percent,
then the quantity demanded of Good Y will?
A) increases by 7.5 percent and the goods are
complements
B) decreases by 7.5 percent and the goods are
complements
C) decreases by 7.5 percent and the goods as substitutes
D) increases by 7.5 percent and the goods are
substitutes
Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X
is -5, its income elasticity is 2, its advertising elasticity is 4,
and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good
Y is 3. Determine how much the consumption of this good
will change if:
