In 2019, the San Francisco Bay area Water Emer- gency Transportation Authority (WETA) announced it was considering the implementation of hovercraft service as a supplement to existing ferries. Suppose that a fast hovercraft alternative to the Golden Gate Bridge is implemented between Marin County and San Francisco. How would the new service affect the elasticity of demand for trips across the Golden Gate Bridge?

Suppose that the management of Sun City resort is trying to understand the income elasticity of their resort. As an advisor, they provide you with the following figures;If the average income of visitors is R3 000 (which is the current income), then 45 000 visitors visit Sun City resort each year and if the average income increases to R5 000, then 60 000 visitors visit Sun City resort each year. 1. Calculate the income elasticity of demand using the arc method. (5) 2. Based on your answer above (1), explain what type of a product (service) the resort is.
6) a. Given that f is a differentiable function of x, show that the following notation of elasticity of a function El(f) = d(ln(f))/dx / d(In x)/dx corresponds with the definition of elasticity of a function f.b. Given that f and g are differentiable functions of x, prove that the elasticity of the product,Elx(f/g) = Elx(f) − Elx(g)c. Using part (b) above or otherwise calculate the following elasticity with respect to x, Elx (x−1/x5+1)

The demand for Amazon 's Kindle e-reader can be approximated by q(p)=21e−0.01pmillionunitsperyear(50≤p≤400), where p is the price charged by Amazon. Obtain a formula for price elasticity of demand E, and calculate its value at the two endpoints of the given range of prices. Is the price that would maximize annual revenue within the range of prices shown? How would you know this without calculating that price?
PNG’s managers estimate that a 50% increase in price would cause an 80% reduction in the quantity of product sold. Total fixed costs for the product are $5000 and total variable costs are $4000, based on production of 400 units. The following values may be useful. 1n (0.2) = –1.609 1n (1.5) = 0.405 1n (0.5) = –0.693 1n (4000) = 8.294 1n (0.8) = –0.223 1n (5000) = 8.517 What is PNG’s price elasticity of demand? –0.252 +0.322 –3.973 +3.108

For the first time in two years, Big G (the cereal division of General Mills) raisedcereal prices by 4 percent. If, as a result of this price increase, the volume of all cerealsold by Big G dropped by 5 percent, what can you infer about the own price elasticityof demand for Big G cereal? Can you predict whether revenues on sales of its LuckyCharms brand increased or decreased? Explain. (LO1, LO3)
