3. Change in Demand is caused by a change in factors (determinants) such as:

**Remember that only price of the item in question will cause a change in
demand for THAT item**
EXAMPLE: A rise in the price of cream cheese may cause a decrease in
demand of bagels. This is NOT a change in Quantity Demanded b/c it is due to
a change in the price of the complement.
Demand Curve Shifting:

Shifts in the Demand Curve.
In recent years, sales of music CDs have
decreased as many consumers have elected
to download individual tracks of music
directly into their playing devices. Of course,
the cost to download a single track is less
than the cost of a CD. The demand for music
CDs is shown in the demand schedule as D1.
Imagine that as a result of pressure from the
music industry, music downloads are
outlawed, and the only way to purchase
music is to buy a music CD. Demand for CDs
increases and is now shown in the demand
schedule as D2.

III. Calculate the Elasticity of Supply for the following scenarios:
1. An apartment complex rents apartments for $850 per month and at this
price, only 120 of the available apartments are offered for rent. The manager
increases the price to $1000 per month and offers 175 of the available
apartments or rent at this price.

2. Pepsi is offering a new drink this summer called “Pepsi Slam” in hopes of
increasing their sales. They are planning to offer the new drink at a price of
$10 per 2 Liter bottle and they want to ship 500 to each of their stores. Stores
realize they may not sell well at this price and indicate that they are only
willing to charge customers $5 per 2 Liter Bottle. Pepsi responds saying they
will now only supply each store with 250 bottles.

15%. Calculate the PES and indicated whether this is Elastic, Inelastic, or a
Unit Elastic product.

4. The price of a product was originally $80 and it increases to $220 because
of an increase in the demand for the item. As a result, the volume supplied
