Suppose the current exchange rate is 115 yen per dollar. We currently have a demand for 50 units of our product when the unit price is 800 yen. The cost of producing and shipping the product to Japan is $6, and the current elasticity of demand is –2.5. Find the optimal price to charge for the product (in yen) for each of the following exchange rates: 60 yen/$, 80 yen/$, 100 yen/$, 120 yen/$, 140 yen/$, and 160 yen/$. Assume the demand function is linear. Exchange Rate Price 60 80 100 120 140 160

For several years, a large U.S. gift retailer has been purchasing a pen-and-pencil set from an overseas manufacturer for $27 per set. The retailer’s policy is to use a 120 percent markup on such stationery-related gifts. (a) Recently, a currency exchange-rate change has enabled the retailer to buy the pen-and-pencil set for only $21 per set. The retailer is considering passing along this cost decrease to his customers. If the retailer uses his usual markup for stationery-related gifts, calculate the new price the retailer would charge for this pen-and-pencil set.

She obtained data for each of the past 18 years concerning the number of units sold during the year, the price during the year, and an index of economic activity in the retailer’s market area during the year, and then carried out a regression analysis on these data. The means for each…
