At a price of $8 per unit, Gadgets Incorporated is willing to supply 19,000 gadgets, while United Gadgets is willing to supply 16,000 gadgets. If the price were to rise to $10 per unit, their respective quantities supplied would rise to 28,000 and 22,000. If these are the only two firms supplying gadgets, what is the elasticity of supply in the market for gadgets? Multiple Choice

- Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B (sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales before the 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales after the 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B.Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue.

Group A Group B (sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales before the 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales after the 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million Suppose Nile.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he or she logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Nile.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?Amazon.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Amazon.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount.

Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group. Suppose Amazon.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Amazon.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?
- In 1896, Colgate dental cream was introduced in tubes similar to those we use now. Today, the Colgate-Palmolive Company’s brand of toothpaste is the best-selling toothpaste in the world (ahead of the Crest brand marketed by Procter & Gamble, which was introduced in 1955). While Colgate and Crest enjoy the lion’s share of the toothpaste market, if you view the oral care shelf at your local drugstore or supermarket, you will find over a hundred different varieties of toothpaste. Colgate alone sells over 40 different varieties that are marketed under names ranging from Shrek Bubble Fruit to Colgate Total Advanced Whitening. The high level of product differentiation in the toothpaste market stems from firms introducing new varieties in an attempt to boost their economic profits. In environments where makers of other brands (such as Crest) can easily enter profitable segments of the market, a profitable strategy is to attempt to quickly cover that segment (introducing Shrek Bubble Fruit…In 1896, Colgate dental cream was introduced in tubes similar to those we use now.

- Shell has over 13,000 gas stations in the United States. In addition to gasoline, the gas stations also sell convenience items, such as snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, wine, beer, and hot food. Suppose you work for a gas station and your boss asks you to develop a pricing strategy for bottled local wine. The demand function is ? = 100 – 4?, where ? is the monthly quantity demanded of the bottled wine and ? is the price of the bottled wine. The marginal cost per bottle of wine is $5. Complete the following tasks: 1) (Calculating) In the worksheet “Q2 Calculations” of the provided Excel file, enter formulas in columns B-D to calculate Q (quantity demanded), MC (marginal cost), and MR (marginal revenue). Please round your results to one decimal place. Note that the inverse demand function is ? = 25 − 0.25? and that the MR function can be derived from the inverse demand function using the formula introduced in Module 5. You may find it helpful to review the Excel file for Chapter 11.The information in the table below shows the total demand for premium-channel digital cable TV subscriptions in a small urban market. Assume that each digital cable TV operator pays a fixed cost of $200,000 (per year) to provide premium digital channels in the market area and that the marginal cost of providing the premium channel service to a household is zero. 1. Assume there are two profit-maximizing digital cable TV companies operating in this market. Further assume that they are not able to collude on the price and quantity of premium digital channel subscriptions to sell, how many premium digital channel cable TV subscriptions will be sold altogether and what price will be charged when this market reaches a Nash equilibrium? 2. Under the conditions given in Question #3 of this problem, how much profit will each firm earn when this market reaches a Nash equilibrium? 3. What is the socially efficient level of digital premium channel subscriptions for this market and at what…Suppose Grady, Grace, and George own the 3 wrecker services in the small town of Collisionville. Each currently charges $350 for a standard towing job within town. Competition is heating up and each wants to grow their market share. Use this information to answer the following: What does the Law of Demand say that Grace can do to grow her market share? Suppose that the Kinked Demand Curve Theory describes this market well. How would considering this theory impact Grace’s decision on part 1?
- The own price elasticity of demand is the most important determinant of pricing strategy by a firm. A firm can charge a high price for its product and earn higher revenue if the demand for its product is relatively inelastic. In other words, demand inelasticity and market power go hand in hand. What strategies should a firm adopt to make the demand for its product inelastic? Explain.In a statement to Gillette’s shareholders, its CEO indicated, “Despite several new product launches, Gillette’s advertising-to-sales declined dramatically . . . to 7.5 percent last year. Gillette’s advertising spending, in fact, is one of the lowest in our peer group of consumer product companies.” If the elasticity of demand for Gillette’s consumer products is similar to that of other firms in its peer group (which averages –4), what is Gillette’s advertising elasticity? Is Gillette’s demand more or less responsive to advertising than other firms in its peer group? ExplainMany economists argue that rivalry in goods is not a real difference, but just a pricing problem. What do they mean? • If there are too few individuals in a non-rival good, then it can become rivalrous. The way to solve this is raise price and reduce the number of users.• If there are too many individuals in a non-rival good, then it can become rivalrous. The way to solve this is raise price and reduce the number of users.If there are too few individuals in a non-rival good, then it can become rivalrous. The way to solve this is raise price and raise the number of users.• If there are too many individuals in a non-rival good, then it can become rivalrous. The way to solve this is lower price and increase the number of users.
