Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.11 Elasticity and Total Revenue skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An event organizer lowers the booth fee for a student business fair from $1,000 to $900. Booths sold rise from 40 to 50. Which statement best combines elasticity and total revenue?

ADemand is inelastic, and total revenue rises from $40,000 to $45,000.

BSupply is elastic, and total revenue falls because price is lower.

CDemand is unit elastic, and total revenue stays at $40,000.

DDemand is elastic, and total revenue rises from $40,000 to $45,000.

Solution & Explanation:The fee decrease raises total revenue from 1,000 × 40 = $40,000 to 900 × 50 = $45,000. A price cut that raises revenue indicates elastic demand over that range.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A city compares two possible tax bases. Market X has demand elasticity 0.4 and supply elasticity 2.0. Market Y has demand elasticity 2.0 and supply elasticity 0.4. If the city wants consumers to bear most of the tax with a smaller quantity decrease, which market fits better?

ABoth markets equally.

BMarket Y.

CNeither market because consumers never bear taxes.

DMarket X.

Solution & Explanation:In Market X, demand is much less elastic than supply, so consumers bear more of the burden and quantity demanded changes less than in the elastic-demand market.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A price falls by 20%, and quantity demanded rises by 25%, both measured from the original values. What happens to total revenue exactly?

ATotal revenue stays the same because 0.80 × 1.25 = 1.00.

BTotal revenue rises by 25% because quantity rises by 25%.

CTotal revenue rises by 5% because 25% minus 20% equals 5%.

DTotal revenue falls by 20% because price falls by 20%.

Solution & Explanation:The new revenue factor equals the new price factor times the new quantity factor. A 20% price decrease gives 0.80, and a 25% quantity increase gives 1.25; their product is 1.00.
