particular amount can have on demand. The example in our book refers to using dollars or pennies‚ in one instance the dollar amount leads to a demand that is elastic‚ however that same dollar amount in pennies would lead one to see that demand is inelastic. The amount is the same‚ regardless of the currency‚ therefore the demand should be the same too. This is one reason why economists use percentages. The second reason deals with comparisons. Percentages help us more accurately compare the consumer

The demand of a product varies with the price. There are three categories of elasticity of demand; elastic‚ inelastic and unit elasticity. Elastic demand is one in which the change in quantity the consumer demands is due to the change in price of the product being larger. Inelastic demand is one in which the change in quantity demanded due to a change in price is small. Inelastic demand usual causes a negative effect on the product. Elasticity of demand is measured by dividing the percentage

PED as a positive value always. From this we can see that the value of PED would be 1.6 making the product elastic. However‚ if the 0<PED<1‚ then it would be inelastic as the change in price is greater then the change in quantity. If PED = 1 then the elasticity would be unitary and if it were 0 then it would be perfectly inelastic. It is only brands

Lecture1 1.What’s the “ economizing problem”? Scarce resources VS. unlimted wants. ( labor‚ capital‚ land) 2. Are “normative statements”(规范声明) merely factual and free of value-judgment? No‚ normative is prescriptive. Things should be postive and factual. 3. Define the “fallacy of composition”. Fallacy of composition(组合谬误) is false generation. 4. Money is not considered a resource. Why? Because money is not a product. 5. Why is the production possibilities curve downsloping? Because

tree depends on the weather and the amount of fertilizer and pesticides that farmers use. Given all these factors that affect supply‚ is the long-run supply for apples likely to become more elastic or more inelastic than the short-run supply? a. The long-run supply for apples will be more inelastic. b. The long-run supply for apples will be more elastic. c. The elasticity of supply will be the same in the short and long run. d. These factors do not affect elasticity. e. The elasticity of the long-run

brings to mind the old saying‚ “If you are a farmer‚ the weather is always bad.” Discuss the sense in which this saying might be true. (Hint: What happens to price if there is a bumper crop? What is the price elasticity of demand for wheat? Is it inelastic or elastic? What happens to total revenue if there is an increase in supply?) If a product like corn or wheat has a bumper crop season‚ the selling price for the good would fall. This is because a bumper crop season indicates that the product had
