The quantity of a good demanded rises from 1000 to 1500 units when the price falls from $1.50 to $1.00 per unit. The price elasticity of demand for this product is approximately:A. 1.0B. .16C. 2.5D. 4.0

Step 1
- Initial quantity demanded (\( Q_1 \)) = 1000 units - Final quantity demanded (\( Q_2 \)) = 1500 units - Initial price (\( P_1 \)) = $1.50 - Final price (\( P_2 \)) = $1.00 Show more…

The demand curve for a product is given by $q=$ $120,000-500 p$ and the supply curve is given by $q=$ $1000 p$ for $0 \leq q \leq 120,000,$ where price is in dollars. (a) At a price of $\$ 100,$ what quantity are consumers willing to buy and what quantity are producers willing to supply? Will the market push prices up or down? (b) Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Does your answer to part (a) support the observation that market forces tend to push prices closer to the equilibrium price?
