(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 a bountiful crop growth and harvest; therefore‚ supply for the product would be excess. This means that the price for the product would

What is the formula for measuring price elasticity of demand? Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price When the price elasticity coefficient is less than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is smaller than the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is equal to 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is greater than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded

Q 1. Discuss the practical application of Price elasticity and Income elasticity of demand. Ans: There are many practical applications of price elasticity and Income elasticity of demand which are discussed as below. (A) Practical application of price elasticity of demand : 1. Production planning: It helps a producer to decide about the volume of production. When the demand is elastic‚ a producer has to produce different quantity of product and fixed quantity when the demand is inelastic

meant by the terms price elasticity‚ income elasticity and cross elasticity of demand and discuss the main determinants of each of these. Discuss the importance of each of these to the decision making process within a typical business. Elasticity is the responsiveness to which one variable responds to a change in another variable Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a product to a change in its price. If a relatively small change in price leads to a relatively
