Question

Demand for Magnum Ice Cream is given by an equation   Q = - 5,000 – 40P + 20Px + 5I + 0.2A

Where, Q = Quantity of Magnum demanded, P = Price of Magnum Ice Cream, Px = Price of Walls Ice Cream, I = Per Capita Income and A = advertisement expenditure.

 

  1. State and elaborate the key steps for analyzing regression results of demand. 
  2. Assume P = Rs 500, Px = Rs 600, I = Rs 5,000 and A = 10,000 (Rs in thousands).

Calculate elasticities for each of the variables: 

  • Price Elasticity of Demand
  • Cross Price Elasticity of Demand
  • Income Elasticity of Demand
  • Advertisement Elasticity

3. How does each of the elasticities help in managerial decision making? Given these estimates should Magnum consider reducing its price to increase market share? Explain.
