Question 1:

(a) Suppose the income elasticity of demand for furniture is 3 and the income elasticity for doctors' services is 0.3. Compare the impact on furniture and doctors services of a recession that reduced consumer incomes by 10 per cent. (2 marks)

Change in income = 10% = 0.1

Income elasticity of demand = change in quantity demanded/ change in income

Therefore: change in quantity demanded = Income elasticity of demand × change in income

Impact of recession on furniture:

Change in quantity demanded = 3 × 0.1= 0.3 = 30%

A change of 10% in consumer income will result in a 30% change in quantity demanded of furniture.

Definition of Terms

Elasticity of demand: The elasticity of demand measures the degree of change in the quantity demanded after a change in any one of the factors affecting demand (Gregory, 2011).

Cross-price elasticity: This is the measure of degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of one good due to change in price of another good (William et.al, 2011). In the case of complimentary goods, the cut in price of one of the goods raises the demand of the other good. For substitutes, an increase in price of one good will lead to an increase in demand of the other good.

Monopolies develop in several ways (Vandewetering, n.d.). There are “natural” monopolies that emerge from the scales of some businesses. Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds.
The third form of monopoly is the result of government action. For example, patent and copyright protection ...

Question 1
If the price elasticity of demand for firm X’s product is -1.75, lowering its price will result in an increase in total revenue. This is because a negative price elasticity of demand implies an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. It indicates that an increase in price leads to a decline in quantity demanded and a decline in price leads to an increase in quantity demanded. In addition, the price elasticity of demand is more than 1 in absolute terms hence a change in price leads to a more than proportionate change in quantity demanded. A 1% decrease in ...
