Solution. Given
P=$20 ∆Q = 20units
P1=$30 Q1 =100 units
∆P= $10 ∴ Q=120 units
∴ ep =

Question 5. Let the demand function be: Q=10-2p. Find eD at a price of 5/2
Solution: Q=10-2p. Differentially Q with respect to P, we get

= -2
Also when P=5/2 Q =10-2

Question 6. Let eD = -0.4 . By what percentage the quantity demanded goes down if
the price of the good increase by 4%?
Solution:
eD =
%change in quantity demended
% change in price
|-04| =
% change in quantity demanded

0.4 x 4 = 1.6
∴ % fall i aquantity demanded is 0.4 * 4 = 1.6%
