You estimate that the price elasticity of demand for one-acre plots in Lusaka is -1.5 and that income elasticity of demand is 5. Land owners intend to increase the price of a one-acre plot by 8% as they expect household disposable incomes to increase by 5%.
(1) If sales of one acre plots are 20,000 units this year, how many such plots do you expect to be sold next year?
(2) If land owners would like to increase sales by 6%, by how much should they increase the price of a one-acre plot?

Ok, here is the answer...

We are not allowed to do school work for you. You have to do it... and show your work. If you need help with it, someone may come along that can help you.

To just copy and paste a question and then expect an answer... no, we can't do it.
