of this project was to discuss the determinants of price elasticity of supply and demand in the tourism industry‚ how the demand for tourism products reacts with the rice in price and how suppliers of tourism products react also to rise or decline in price for this products. Through the aims and objectives of the project‚ I was able to find out that tourists tend to react on the long run than on the short run when it comes to an increase in price because on the short run there would not be anything

1. If the price of VCRs declines by 20 percent‚ and the quantity sold rises 40 percent‚ what is the price elasticity of VCRs‚ ceteris paribus. [pic] 2. The cross price elasticity between the demand for Washington State apples relative to Pennsylvania apples is +0.7. What can be said about the perceived differences in quality between the two apple varieties? How would your answer change if the cross price elasticity were only +0.1? Since the cross price elasticity is positive

A. Discuss elasticity of demand as it pertains to elastic‚ unit‚ and inelastic demand. Elasticity of demand is gauged by the percentage of change in demand when the price of an item varies. If the change in the quantity demanded is greater than 1 the demand is elastic. Elasticity of demand is calculated by ED=quantity demanded/decrease in price. If you reduce the price of milk by 6%‚ and that causes an increase of quantity demanded by 9% the demand for milk is elastic (ED= .09/.06 = 1.5).

following questions relating to elasticity: (a) Do the mentally ill have perfectly inelastic demands for cigarettes and alcohol? Elasticity helps us define the relationship of changes in price and incomes to the effect of supply and demand. The question posed is: do the mentally ill have perfectly inelastic demands for cigarettes and alcohol? First‚ we must define what perfectly inelastic demand is. As defined by our textbook‚ a perfectly inelastic demand is one in which price change results in no change

Price Elasticity: Price Elasticity is used to explain the degree of responsiveness of the demand for a product to a change in its price. Ep=Percentage change in quality demanded/Percentage change in price (Ep=Price Elasticity) Practical applications of Price Elasticity: 1) Helps in fixing the prices of different goods: It helps a producer to fix the price of his product. A higher price is charged if the demand for the product is inelastic and a lower price is charged if the demand for the product

consumers to changes in price? Why do economists use percentages rather than absolute amounts in measuring the responsiveness of consumers to changes in price? Economists use percentages rather than absolute amounts for two different reasons. The first reason for using percentages rather than absolute amounts has to do with the affect a 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

The consultant should also describe the methodology of a multiple linear regression and its purpose in estimating a demand function. The consultant should then run a multiple linear regression in linear and multiplicative forms based on the data provided by the company and report on the estimated result. They will have to evaluate the estimated demand equations both in
