explain the concepts of price elasticity of demand‚ income elasticity of demand and cross elasticity of demand. Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of demand to a change in income‚ ceteris paribus. It is the percentage change in demand for a good resulting from a percentage change in income‚ ceteris paribus. When income changes with other price or non-price factors‚ such as income‚ remaining unchanged‚ income elasticity of demand measures how much to which demand will change‚ ceteris

estimate elasticity of demand. If there is no switching cost between lens and medicine‚ under any price above WTP‚ farmers will choose only medicine. On the other hand‚‚ farmers will chose only lens at any price below WTP. Therefore‚ demand curve is perfectly horizontal. If we assume there is some switching cost‚ and the cost is different from farmers‚ demand increase when price goes down. If we assume liner demand curve‚ we can say slope of demand curve is negative. Still‚ at the price of WTP‚

an increase in aggregate demand Inflation is a sustained general rise in the price of goods‚ measured by the annual percentage increase in average prices. Inflation can be caused by an increase in aggregate demand‚ Aggregate demand is the demand for the gross domestic product (GDP) of a country‚ and is represented by the formula: Aggregate Demand (AD) = C + I + G + (X-M). An increase in aggregate demand can be caused by many factors such as a decrease in income tax which in turn increase the

Theories of Pricing.” Using this week’s lecture materials‚ write a one- to two-page research paper listing and discussing the main components and considerations of all three pricing theories. Please use the accounting theory to illustrate pricing an item. Economics has three theories that cover pricing. In each of the three theories‚ the outside market influences how goods are sold. Supply and demand: According to this theory‚ the supply of an item and its demand affect its price. An item that is in

is always caused by an increase in aggregate demand’ In order to address this question it is first necessary to define both inflation and aggregate demand. Aggregate Demand is the total amount demanded by the whole economy‚ ie it is not related to one single market. Inflation is the persistent increase in the average level of consumer prices compared to the same time the previous year. This is a natural occurrence over time as wages rise and so the quantity demanded increases‚ which activates the
