Economics Class 9 Do Now: A frog is at the bottom of a 30 meter well. Each day he summons enough energy for one 3 meter leap up the well. Exhausted, he then hangs there for the rest of the day. At night, while he is asleep, he slips 2 meters backwards. How many days does it take him to escape from the well? Note: Assume after the first leap that his hind legs are exactly three meters up the well. His hind legs must clear the well for him to escape. Do Later: Chapter 17 #1-6
Price elasticity of demand: • What is it? • How do you find it? • What does it connect?
How does Elacticity affect revenue? • Total revenue: • The formula: • Why?
The demand curve: • Explain why the elacticity changes as you move down a straight-line demand curve • When will total revenue increase due to a drop in prices?
Factors affecting Elacticity • The fraction of income spent on the good • Definition: • Availability of substitutes: • Necessity of good:
What is income elasticity? • The definition: • The formula: • The idea:
