a) Calculate the arc elasticity of demand between each point and its neighbor (that is, from A to B, B to C, etc.) and determine whether each value is price elastic, price inelastic, or unit elastic
b) Calculate the arc elasticity of supply between each point and its neighbor (that is, from A to B, B to C, etc.)and determine whether each value is price elastic, price inelastic, or unit elastic
c) Calculate the arc elasticity of demand between A and F, A and D, and A and Band determine whether each value is price elastic, price inelastic, or unit elastic
d) Calculate the arc elasticity of supply between A and F, A and D, and A and Band determine whether each value is price elastic, price inelastic, or unit elastic

Question 5
Suppose that you own a local chain of 10 grocery stores that sell oranges. (Assume that the grocery stores are all the same in terms of customer composition, products sold, etc.) You are interested in determining whether or not you are maximizing revenue on the oranges you sell. Devise a plan to calculate the arc elasticity of demand for the oranges. What data would you need? How could you get that data? How do you use the raw data to tell you if you're maximizing revenue?
Question 6
Discuss the costs and benefits of government price controls on agricultural products. Who benefits? Who pays more?
