5-1b Categories of E D a) E D between 0 and 1: Inelastic demand –Demand curve is more steep –Determinants: necessities few substitutes need it in short time small proportion of income spent b) E D = 1: Unit elastic demand –D is rectangular hyperbola, or midpoint of a straight line –Movies, shoes, cars 8 © 2015 Cengage Learning.

5-1b Categories of E D c) E D greater than 1: Elastic demand –D is flatter –Determinants: Luxuries many substitutes longer time to adjust Large proportion of income spent d) E D = 0: Perfectly inelastic demand -D is vertical e) E D = ∞: Perfectly elastic demand –D is horizontal (example in next slide) 9 © 2015 Cengage Learning.

Constant Elasticity Demand Curves Perfectly elastic demand curve Any price increase would reduce quantity demanded to zero –Consumers don’t tolerate price increases –Example: Assume you notice the gas price is $1.65 in several gas stations when you drive around town. As you try to add gas from your favorite gas station, you see the price there is $1.75! You decide to get gas somewhere else. Your quantity demanded for gas from your favorite gas station drops to zero when you see the price is higher - Your demand is perfectly elastic 10

5-1d Price Elasticity and Linear Demand Curve Linear demand curve (straight line) –Constant slope but varying elasticity Demand becomes less elastic as we move downward –Upper half: elastic –Lower half: inelastic –Midpoint: unit elastic 11 © 2015 Cengage Learning.

5-1c Elasticity and Total Revenue Total revenue = (price)(Qd at this price) TR= p ˣ q As price decreases –If demand is elastic, TR increases –If demand is inelastic, TR decreases –If demand is unit elastic, TR constant Vice Versa. 13 © 2015 Cengage Learning.

5-1c Elasticity and Total Revenue Question 1. Refer to the demand for cheese. Suppose the store is selling the product at $2. If the owner wants to increase sales, should he increase the price to $3, or decrease the price to $1? 14 © 2015 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Case Study Case 1. Price = $2TR = $2x9 =$18 Price = $3TR = $3x8 = $24 Price = $1TR = $1x10 = $10 Answer: TR increase if he increases the price to $3. Case 2. What if the price is increased to $4? To $5? Case 3. Which price maximize TR? 15 © 2015 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Total revenue reaches a maximum at the rate of output where the demand curve is unit elastic. c Where the demand curve is inelastic, further decreases in price reduce total revenue. © 2015 Cengage Learning.

Question Question 3. What is the price elasticity of supply for paintings by Van Gogh? E s = 0 The supply of paintings by Van Gogh is perfectly inelastic because no matter how high the price goes, Van Gogh can’t be alive again and paint more. The quantity supplied can’t be changed. 26 © 2015 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.
