1. Consider the market for ping golf clubs.
Suppose the price of memberships at local golf
courses increases. Use the line drawing tool to show
how this affects the demand for ping golf clubs by
drawing a new demand curve. Assume memberships
at local golf courses and ping golf clubs are
complements. Properly label this line.
Instead, suppose the price of tennins rackets
decreases. If tennis rackets and goal substitutes,
then the demand for ping golf clubs will ………..

cause
c-d) KFC raises the price of a bucket of fried
chicken. This will
e) The U.S economy enters a period of decline in
incomes. This will cause

would be a …….. of … million gallons
3. 8. If a 22 percent increase in the price of cheerios
causes a 27 percent reduction in the number of
boxes of cereal demanded, the price elasticity of
demand for cheerios is - ……….
The demand for cheerios is ……
9. The following table gives data on the price of rye and
the number of bushels of rye sold in 2013 and 2014
a. Calculate the change in the quantity of rye demanded
divided by change in the price of rye. Measure the
quantity of rye demanded in bushels. The change in
the quantity of rye demanded divided by the change
in the price of rye in bushels is………
b. Calculate the change in the quantity of rye demanded
divided by change in the price of rye, but this time
measure the quantity of rye demanded in million of
bushels. The change in the quantity of rye demanded
divided by the change in the price of rye in million
bushels is………
Compare to part a, the answer to part b is …….
In absolute terms
c. Finally assuming the demand curve for rye did not
shift between 2013 and 2014, use the information in
the table to calculate the price elasticity of demand
for rye. Using the midpoint formla, the price
elasticity of demand for rye is ….
10.Suppose the price elasticity of demand for cereal is
-0.83.
If so then the price for demand for cereal is…..
In another example, assume the price
elasticity of demand for a particular magazine
is …….
The price elasticity of demand for the
magazine is ….

inelastic curve.
12.Consider the two demand curves illustrated in the
figure to the right
Which of the two is relatively more elastic?
