Quantity Demanded Price Elasticity 100 $5 80 $10 60 $15 40 $20 20 $25 10 $30 1. a. Determine the price elasticity of demand at each quantity demanded using the formula: Percentage change in quantity demanded _ (Q2 _ Q1)/Q1 divided by percentage change in price _ (P2 _ P1)/P1. b. Redo exercise 1a using price changes of $10 rather than $5. c. Plot the price and quantity data given in the demand schedule. Indicate the price elasticity value at each quantity demanded. Explain why the elasticity value gets smaller as you move down the demand curve 

       b)When price changes by $10    

        c.   Plot the price and quantity data given in the demand schedule. Indicate the   price elasticity value at each quantity demanded. Explain why the elasticity   value gets smaller as you move down the demand curve

     Derive a demand curve from the following utility table for Pizza   A. assume income is $10, the price of each slice of pizza is $1, and the   price of each glass of beer is $2. Then change the price of pizza to $2 per   slice. B. Now change income to $12 and derive a demand curve for pizza.   Slices ofPizza Totalutility Glasses of beer Total Utility 1 200 1 500 2 380 2   800 3 540 3 900 4 600 4 920 5 630 5 930
