Assignment 1 Demand Estimation Tinisha Wordlaw ECO 550 May 11, 2015 Dr. Wolfson The given regression equation is: QD = - 5200 - 42P + 20PX + 5.2I + .20A + .25M. Using the regression equation and from the given values of P = 500, PX = 600, I = 5500, A = 10000 and M = 5000 The quantity demanded can be calculated as: QD = -5200 - 42*500 + 20*600 + 5.2*5500 + 0.2*10000 + 0.25*5000 = 17650 Price elasticity can be calculated from the formula E = (P/Q)*(dQ/dP) We have, (DQ/DP) = -42; Hence
