Assume the price of product A increases from $1 to $1.50, while the price of competing product B increases from $1.50 to $2.00. Based on the information, what we can say about the absolute and relative price differences between the two products and the relative attractiveness of the two products to consumers.

Suppose a firm sells two goods, Good A and Good B. Use the following information to answer questions that follow: Profit maximising price of Good A = R6000 MC at profit maximising level of output of Good A = R1200 MC at profit maximising level of output of Good B = R400 Total revenue of Good A = R80000 Total revenue of Good B = R68000 Rothschild index of Good B = 0.6 Price elasticity of the market demand for Good B = -1.2 2.1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand (Ed) for Good A. Ed of Good A = 2.2 Suppose that the firm noticed that when it increased the price of Good A from R4000 to R6000, the sales of Good B decreased from 8000 to 2000 units. Calculate and classify the cross-price elasticity of demand between Good A and Good B. Ec = Good A and Good B are classified as (substitutes/compliments) 2.3. Use the elasticity coefficient calculated above and the information provided, to calculate by how much the firm’s total combined revenue will change if it decreases the price…
If the price per unit of good A is P175 quantity purchased is valued at 5,250 units and quantity supplied equals 2,500 units. If price changes by P1, quantity demanded changes by 4 units for consumer demand and quantity supplied changes by 2 units. Determine the demand and supply functions. Determine the price and quantity at equilibrium, using algebraic solution. Graph demand and supply curves on one set of axes and highlight the following: price-intercepts of demand and supply curves, quantity-intercepts of demand and supply curves, and the equilibrium point. (Make sure to LABEL your graph accordingly.)

Name a normal good, an inferior good, a set of substitute goods, a set of complements that are used in your household daily. For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded by your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded by your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded if the price of the same normal good decreases. For the inferior good, draw and interpret a graph showing the demand curve and a shift in the curve if your income increases. For anyone good from the set of substitutes, draw and interpret a graph showing the demand curve and a shift in the curve if the price of the substitute…

(Each of their income is $100 and the price of Y is always $1). U (x,y) = x^2/5 Y^3/5 Price of X=$8 Price of X=$4 Price of X=$2 Price of X=$1
We obtain the following demand curve of beef in a market: Q = 44506.941 - 3338.553 ln(P), where Q is quantity demanded of beef measured in pounds, P is price measured in dollars per pound. We know the average of P is 8.781 and the average of Q is 13016.956. Based on this information, if the price increases by 1 dollar, the quantity demanded decreases by ____%. the answer is 2.921, I need the step by step solution to get the answer
