How would our results change? 1. Elasticities Consider the following supply and demand functions 12 3p D -3+2p a) Plot the supply and demand functions. b) What are the equilibrium price and quantity? c) At the equilibrium price and quantity, what is the price elasticity of d) Interpret the price elasticity of demand. How much will quantity increases by 1%? e) Suppose I were to calculate an income elasticity of = 0.5. What the good in our market? f) Suppose there were another good in our market and I calculated ac Et = -1.2. What does this imply about the relationship between both
