5 In a discussion with your friend, LeeAnna, you mentioned you have studied Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) as well as the various costs that impact production. LeeAnna, who happens to own a Pizza store is worried about the declining profitability of her store. She needs your advice on what she should do to increase her profit. Provide good economic advice to LeeAnna, using the concepts you have learned from your chapters 1 - 6 (especially paying close attention to PED and production costs). In your advice, put into consideration the nature of her competition, what variables impact the profit of an organization, and which of these variable(s) can the business owner control to increase profit? How can the PED of a product, in this case, pizza, impact how much price the owner of the store can change?
8. Critical analysis Q13 Suppose Raphael, the owner-manager of a local hotel, projects the following demand for his rooms: Price Quantity Purchased ($) (per Day) 90 200 135 180 180 140 The price elasticity of demand between $90 and $135 is_____ in absolute value. This means that if Raphael raises the price from $90 to $135, his total revenue will______ (rise/fall/constant). The price elasticity of demand between $135 and $180 is______ in absolute value. This means that if Raphael raises the price from $135 to $180, his total revenue will_________(rise/fall/constant) .

Viking InterWorks is one of many manufacturers that supplies memory products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of desktop systems. The CEO recently read van article in a trade publication that reported the projected demand for desktop systems to be Qddesktop = 1,600 −2Pdesktop + .6M (in millions of units), where Pdesktop is the price of a desktop system and M is consumer income. The same article reported that the incomes of the desktop systems’ primary consumer demographic would increase 4.2 percent this year to $61,300 and that the selling price of a desktop would decrease to $980, both of which the CEO viewed favorably for Viking. In a related article, the CEO read that the upcoming year’s projected demand for 512 MB desktop memory modules is Qdmemory = 11,200 − 100Pmemory − 2Pdesktop (in thousands of units), where Pmemory is the market price for a 512 MB memory module and Pdesktop is the selling price of a desktop system.

The table below shows two demand schedules for a given style of men’s shoes—that is, how many pairs per month will be demanded at various prices at a men’s clothing store in Winnipeg called Stromnord. Price D1QuantityDemanded D2QuantityDemanded $85 53 13 80 60 15 75 68 18 70 77 22 65 87 27 Suppose that Stromnord has exactly 55 pairs of this style of shoe in inventory at the start of the month of July and will not receive any more pairs of this style until at least August 1. a. If demand is D1, what is the lowest price that Stromnord can charge so that it will not run out of this model of shoe in the month of July? What if demand is D2? If demand is D1, the lowest price Stromnord can charge is $ .If demand is D2, the lowest price Stromnord can charge is $ . b. If the price of shoes is set at $85 for both July and August and demand will be D2 in July and D1 in August, how many pairs of shoes should Stromnord order for August if it wants to end the month of August…

In a small town, there are two bakeries that produce similar types of bread. Bakery A has been in business for several decades and has a loyal customer base. Bakery B is a new entrant in the market, offering similar quality but at slightly lower prices. As a result, some customers have started shifting their purchases to Bakery B. Question:How does the concept of price elasticity of demand apply to the situation between Bakery A and Bakery B, and what factors might influence consumers' decisions to switch their bread purchases?
In 2017, two beer drinkers in California filed a lawsuit against Kona Brewing Company, which sells Kona beer. The beer drinkers claimed that Kona was marketed as if it were brewed in Hawaii, but the beer is actually brewed in Oregon, Washington, Tennessee, and New Hampshire. Source: Cameron Miculka, "Suit Alleges Misrepresentation by Kona Brewing Co. Owner," westhawaiitoday.com, March 3, 2017. If the market for beer were perfectly competitive, the location of breweries would A. be in the same geographic area. B. not matter to consumers since the product would be homogeneous. C. be outside the United States. D. not matter to consumers since the product would be heterogeneous.
An article in Trinidadian Gazette described a marketing campaign by a beverage company. The article states that “many senior managers felt uneasy about the extremely high prices of carbonated beverages. They also believed that with the sharp increases there would be a fall in demand which would again cause prices to fall further. What mistake did the senior managers make with their analysis of the situation? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
Vijay diary is selling flavored milk and buttermilk in packets of 150 ml. The diary sells 2000 packets of flavored milk and 1000 packets of buttermilk everyday. The former is priced at 6 and the latter at 4. A market survey estimates the cross price elasticity (both ways) to be +1.8, and the own price elasticity of flavored milk to be -1.3. The diary is contemplating a 10 percent reduction in the price of flavored milk. Should it go ahead with the price reduction? Could you graphically as well as mathmatically help providing the solution.
Suppose you are the manager of a restaurant that serves an average of 400 meals per day at an average price per meal of $20__. On the basis of a survey, you have determined that reducing the price of an average meal to $18__ would increase the quantity demanded to 450 per day. a. Suppose you have reduced the average price of a meal to $18 and are considering a further reduction to $16. Another survey shows that the quantity demanded of meals will increase from 450 to 500 per day. Compute the price elasticity of demand between these two points.
