A. Elasticity of demand is 1 and elasticity of supply is 2. Demand increases 30%.How do I calculate the percentage change in price and whether price is rising or falling?
Elasticity of demand = slope of price elasticity of demand at that point
Here it is 1.
dD/dP =1 ie magnitudes and directions of changes are same in both.
so Price is also increasing by 30%
second part says dS/dP =2 ie supply would increase by 60%.How do I calculate the percentage change in price and whether price is rising or falling?
When elasticity of demand is 1 and demand increases by 30%
% change in quantity demanded / % change in price or,
30/ dp= 1
or dp = 30
Price is increasing and it is a superior good ( as supply elasticity is 2, supply also increases) and law demand does not hold. Supply increases at the time when price increases due to prospect of earning more.How do I calculate the percentage change in price and whether price is rising or falling?
Elasticity of demand is the %change in quantity over the %change in price. So set 1 = 30/x and solve for X. In this case price changed by 30% as well. Because the elasticity is positive, you know that both the demand and price moved in the same direction, so they both increased by 30%
An elasticity of supply greater than one means it is elastic. This means the suppliers will be willing and able to make more at a higher price
