Name two types of market failure. Explain why each may cause market outcomes to be inefficient. Market Power- In some markets‚ a single buyer or seller may be able to control the market prices. Market Power can cause inefficiency because it keeps the price and quantity away from the equilibrium of supply and demand. Externalities- The impact of one person’s actions on the well-being of a bystander. Since buyers and sellers do not consider these side effects when deciding how much to consume and

The price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in price divided by the percentage change in quantity demanded. F 2. Demand is said to be inelastic when a reduction in price results in a decrease in total revenue. T / F 3. When the price of coffee increases 8%‚ quantity demanded decreases 5%. The elasticity of coffee must be inelastic. (PERCENTAGE OF PRICE IS GREATER THAN THE PERCENTAGE OF QUANTITY BY 1/1/2) T 4. The more substitutes there are for the product the more price elastic

Relationships of Changes in Price‚ Price Elasticity and Total Revenue 1. By definition‚ total revenue (TR) is obtained by multiplying quantity demanded of a product (Qx) by price (Px)‚ that is‚ TR = Qx Px. (1) In class‚ by taking the derivative of the above total revenue equation with respect to price (dTR/dPx)‚ we obtain the following general functional relation: dTR/dPx = Qx (1 + Ep) (2). In Equation (2)‚ Ep represents the price elasticity of demand. Since Ep is always

Demand‚ Supply‚ Market Equilibrium and Elasticity A. Elasticity of demand is shown when the demands for a service or goods vary according to the price. Cross-price elasticity is shown by a change in the demand for an item relative to the change in the price of another. For substitutes‚ when there is a price increase of an item‚ there is an increase in the demand for another item. When viewing complements‚ if there is an increase in the price of an item‚ the demand

Price Elasticity of Demand of Air-conditioners in Egypt between 1980 and 2013 Name: Amira Nabil MBA – Managerial Economics 527 1. Introduction A wide range of factors‚ notably globalization and economic growth‚ have changed the lifestyle of developing countries in general‚ and Egypt in particular‚ in the direction of western or developed countries’ lifestyles and diets. Such factors have not only increased meat consumption but also changed meat consumption patterns. The way

to an increase of 10% in income. Then the income elasticity of demand would be‚ Ey= (20%)/(10%)=2 The amount which the quantity demanded for a good change in response to a change in income depends on the type of goods. We can distinguish the types of goods as following‚ Normal goods - Ey > 0 – positive YED Luxury goods - Ey > 1 Necessities - 0 < Ey < 1 Inferior products - Ey < 0 – negative YED Let’s see how the income elasticity of demand deviates for normal goods and inferior products‚ Normal

of a product is the price elasticities and how they vary over the product’s life cycle. The PLC can be divided into several stages characterized by the revenue generated by the product. As the product progresses in its life cycle‚ changes in pricing are usually required in each phase‚ in order to adjust to the evolving challenges and opportunities. - During the introduction stage‚ the primary goal is to establish a market and build a primary demand for the product set. Prices are usually high‚ assuming
