5. a. Using the data found in Question 1, calculate the elasticity of demand and elasticity of supply at each price change in the market for gold picture frames using the midpoint formula for both supply and demand. Because you are calculating the change between two levels, you will have 7 calculations for the 8 prices. mark Price Quantity $45 $60 $95 $160 Demanded $185 1,800,00 $100 1,300,000 $210 1,575,000 $125 1,395,000 1,330,000 1,085,000 900,000 745,000 Elasticity of Quantity Demand Supplied 645,000 740,000 865,000 910,000 1,395,000 1,750,000 1,925,000 2,100,000 Elasticity of Supply

What does a downward-sloping demand curve mean about how buyers in a market will react to a higher price?
What is the difference between the demand and the quantity demanded of a product, say milk? Explain in words and show the difference on a graph with a demand curve for milk.
If a 10 decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8 increase in quantity demanded of that product, will another 10 decrease in the price cause another 3 increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded?
What is the relationship between price elasticity and position on the demand curve? For example, as you move up the demand curve to higher prices and lower quantities, what happens lo the measured elasticity? How would you explain that?
Suppose the cross-price elasticity of apples with respect to the price of oranges is 0.4, and the price of oranges falls by 3. What will happen to the demand for apples?
Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?
Explain all the reasons why a decrease in a products price would lead to an increase in purchases.
If demand is elastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium quantity or on price?
If demand is inelastic, will shifts in supply have a larger effect on equilibrium price or on quantity?
Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
Maria has decided always to spend one third of her income on clothing. a. What is her income elasticity of clothing demand? b. What is her price elasticity of clothing demand? c. It Marias tastes change and she decides to spend only one fourth of her income on clothing, how does her demand curve change? What is her income elasticity and price elasticity now?
