Demand Price Elasticity

The price of a movie ticket is $9.00, and the theater decides to lower it to $8.00. The attendance increases an average of 20 people per movie at $9.00 to 30 people per movie at $8.00.

Was lowering the price a good management decision?

Your scenario:

Did you make a good management decision? Why or why not?

Cross Price Elasticity

When beef was $3, there was 100 lbs. available to consumers. At that price of beef, hamburger buns were $2 with 250 packages available to consumers. Soon after, the price of beef increased to $3.50. At this new price, only 80 lbs. of beef were available to consumers. The price of hamburger buns remained at $2, but 300 packages were now available to consumers. Figure the cross price elasticity of these products.

Are these products substitutes or compliments?

EP5.3

Income Elasticity of Demand

When Peter has $200 of income left over at the end of the month, he chooses to buy 10 steaks from the supermarket. A few months later, Peter got a raise and now has $400 left over at the end of each month. He now buys 30 steaks when he goes grocery shopping. What is his income elasticity of demand?

Is steak a normal or inferior good?

Supply Price Elasticity

Gage County elevator buys corn from local producers and resells it as livestock feed. During January, this elevator paid $7.00 per bushel. At this price, producers have been willing to supply 10,200 bushels per day, but there is not enough to meet demand. Therefore, the elevator decides to raise the price to $7.25 per bushel. Producers are now willing to supply 11,450 bushels per day.

What is the elasticity of supply?

Demand Price Elasticity

The price of a movie ticket is $9.00, and the theater decides to lower it to $8.00. The attendance increases an average of 20 people per movie at $9.00 to 30 people per movie at $8.00.

ED=(Q2−Q1)÷Q1

(P2−P1 )÷P1

ED=(30−20 )÷20

(8−9 )÷9 ED=10÷20

−1÷9 ED=1020× 9

−1= 90

−20= 9

−2=−4.5

Was lowering the price a good management decision? Yes – the absolute value of 4.5 is greater than 1, meaning the demand elastic and total revenue will increase with a cut in price as more people come.

Your scenario:

Did you make a good management decision? Why or why not?

.25÷7

ES=1250

10,200× 7

.25=.1225×28=3.43

What is the elasticity of supply? Because 3.43 is greater than one, the supply of corn from storage is elastic.

Supply and Demand Experience

Let’s experience supply and demand firsthand! Over the next couple of days, our class will be creating surveys, conducting the completion of those surveys, graphing information, and forming conclusions on three of the principles pertaining to supply and demand below:

Law of Demand, Law of Supply, Demand Shifters, Demand Price Elasticity, Cross Price Elasticity, Income Elasticity of Demand

Steps in our Supply and Demand Experience1. Teachers will establish groups of three and assign each group three principles from

above.2. Groups will formulate a survey to gather information in proving the assigned principles.

This survey will be given to a small group of adults and should pertain to products familiar and readily available to the adult group. Surveys must have at least three questions each.

3. Conduct survey with adult group. Survey groups may be teachers, administrators, neighbors, community groups, etc.

4. Gather completed surveys and create a demand schedule, supply schedule, or chart/table to capture data.

5. Chart this information on a graph or calculate using the formulas discussed throughout the lesson (whichever is applicable).

6. INDIVIDUALLY, group members will create conclusions proving or disproving these principles, identifying type of elasticities, identifying types of products, making conclusions, etc.

7. Present these conclusions to the class and teacher through a PowerPoint presentation, displaying data, graphs, and any other pertinent information.

See the following page for the scoring rubric.
