Suppose a person starts out with $5000, PA=$5, and PB=$2. The Price Elasticity of Demand (ED) is 2. Suppose PB increases to $2.50. This will rotate the budget line from

Step 1
We can use the budget constraint equation: $5000 = 5QA + 2QB Solving for QA, we get QA = 1000 - 0.4QB Show more…

Find the elasticity of demand. p + 3q = 150 at (25, 75). How will the price increase affect total revenue?

Compute for the price elasticity of demand when the price increased from P120 to 250 and the quantity demanded decreased from 750 to 500 units. Show in a graph where P is on the Y Axis and QD on the X Axis. Solve using the formula: PED = (QD2 - QD1) / ((QD2 + QD1) / 2) / (P2 - P1) / ((P2 + P1) / 2) Interpret the result:
