1. Suppose there is a perfectly competitive market for latte. The market inverse demand function is given by P = -Q+ 10 Answer the following questions. a. Graph the demand curve on the quantity-price plane. Label the demand curve and its intercepts. b. Using transposition, derive the market demand function. c. Using your response to part b, fill in the following table. Point P A 4 B 5 C 6 QD d. Use the graph you constructed in part a). Plot the points A, B, and C on the graph. e. Refer to the table you completed in part c). Compute the price elasticity of demand between point A and point B. f. Refer to the table you completed in part c). Compute the price elasticity of demand between point B and point C. g. (True/False) Price elasticity of demand is constant between all points if the demand curve has a constant slope. Hint: Use your responses to part d and e to explain why the statement is true or false. 1. Suppose there is a perfectly competitive market for latte.
