4. Exercise 2.5 The demand for MICHTEC's products is related to the state of the economy. If the economy is expanding next year (an above-normal growth in GNP), the company expects sales to be $90 million. If there is a recession next year (a decline in GNP), sales are expected to be $75 million. If next year is normal (a moderate growth in GNP), sales are expected to be $85 million. MICHTEC's economists have estimated the chances that the economy will be either expanding, normal, or in a recession next year at 0.3, 0.5, and 0.2, respectively. The expected annual sales is The standard deviation of annual sales is million. The coefficient of variation of annual sales is million.

1. Determinants of the price elasticity of demand (2nd) Consider some determinants of the price elasticity of demand: • The availability of close substitutes • Whether the good is a necessity or a luxury • How broadly you define the market • The time horizon being considered A good with many close substitutes is likely to have relatively demand, since consumers can easily choose to purchase one of the close substitutes if the price of the good rises. A good’s price elasticity of demand depends in part on how necessary it is relative to other goods. If the following goods are priced approximately the same, which one has the least elastic demand? Yacht Chemotherapy for cancer patients The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good. Organize the goods found in the following table by indicating which is likely to have the most elastic demand, which is likely to have the least elastic demand, and…

Does this elasticity indicate that demand for Toyotas is very responsive to changes in advertising expenditures (thus suggesting that advertising is a very important way to increase sales)? Explain why or why not.
