What is the demand elasticity of P 100-4Q when Q 20?
The quantity, Q, demanded at price P is 100 - 4Q So Q = 25 - P/4 And therefore, the demand elasticity is -1/4 or -0.25, whatever the value of Q.
How would you find a remaining quantity if only the percentage decrease is given?
If the original quantity is A and the ecrease is p% then the quantity of the decrease itself is A*p/100 and the remaining quantity is A - A*p/100
What is percent decrease of 1675 percent?
This is a nonsensical questions. You can not decrease a quantity beyond 100% as that eliminates the item.
What does the p and q stand for on the axis of a demand graph?
Economics: P= Price and Q = Quantity Demanded.
When the percent change in price is greater than the percent change in quantity demanded demand is said to?
Elastic
What is an increase in quantity demanded?
what in is an increase in quantity demanded
What happen to most goods and services when there is an increase in price?
When there is an increase in price, there is a decrease in the quantity demanded.
Suppose the elasticity of demand for cereal is 1. If cereal increases in price by 25 percent how much will the quantity demanded decrease by?
25 percent
Suppose the price elasticity of demand for bread is 0.20 If the price of bread falls by 10 percent the quantity demanded will increase by?
2%.
When demand is elastic a decrease in price causes quantity demanded to?
These factors mean that quantity will increase at a more than proportionate amount to price.
How is price and quantity demanded related?
As a general rule, as the price level increases the quantity demanded will decrease, and vice versa. If the good or service is inelastic (e.g. a necessity or necessary to survival) a change in price will affect the quantity in a less than proportionate manner. That is, if there is a increase in price, the quantity demanded will increase only a small (if any) amount. If the good or service is elastic (e.g. luxury items) a change in price will affect quantity demanded more than proportionately. So if the the price increases, quantity demanded will decrease a large (more than proportionate) amount.

If the income elasticity of demand for a product is -0.5 then?
Income Elasticity:Income Elasticity of Demand is measure of percentage change in demand for a commodity due to 1% change in income of consumers. Negative Income Elasticity :Increase in Income of consumers lead to decrease in the quantity demanded for a commodity.Example: unbranded items.so if Income Elasticity for product is -0.5 then its demand will be decreases as Income of consumers increases.
Price elasticity of demand in the marker place?
Price elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good to a change in its price.Basically it describes how consumers react to a price change.The price elasticity of demand is calculated byPED= %Quantity demanded : % Change of Priceor in words: the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price
Explain the effects of a rise in the price on market when the price elasticity of demand for product is inelastic?
Revenue of the producer will increase since there will be no change in quantity demanded.
When there is a change in the quantity demanded what happens to the demand curve?
Decrease in quantity demanded usually results from an increase in price and vice versa. When the price of a product increases, the demand curve itself is not affected. However, the quantity demanded decreases to a higher point along the demand curve.
What is the elastic demand?
Elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good or service to changes in the price. Elastic demand means that for a change in price, the change in quantity demanded is more than proportionate. So the cheaper the price gets (say 1 unit), the quantity demanded will increase improportionately (say 2 units).
