If the price of a candy bar goes from $1 to $2 and the quantity demanded goes from 1000 to 750 which of the following is true? This suggests that this product is a complimentary good. This suggests that this product is a substitute good. This product has a an elastic demand curve. This product has an inelastic demand curve. This product is an inferior good.

If demand for a good is perfectly inelastic, then choose one of following option a)the demand curve is vertical. b)the demand curve is horizontal. c)the own price elasticity of demand is infinite in absolute value. d) a small increase in price will lead to a situation where none of the good is purchased.

For the demand function q = D(p) = 700 / (p + 4)^2, find the following. a) The elasticity b) The elasticity at p = 6, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic or has unit elasticity c) The value(s) of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars) a) Find the equation for elasticity. E(p) = b) Find the elasticity at the given price, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic or has unit elasticity. E(6) = (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction.) Is the demand elastic, inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity? A. unit elasticity B. elastic C. inelastic c) The value(s) of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars). $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

A monopolist has determined that at the current level of output the price elasticity of demand is -0.15. Which of the following statements is true? (Hint: The monopolist will maximize profits where MC=MR. Thus, since MC is positive - there is no negative cost of production - MR must be positive as well. But positive MR implies that the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1. In other words, a profit maximizing monopolist always operates along the elastic portion of the market demand curve.) A This is typical for a monopolist; output should not be altered. B The firm should cut output. C The firm should increase output. D None of the above is necessarily correct.
