What is the formula for line cross-price elasticity of demand?
The Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfigh ter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopde cays sales declined by 1,500 units per month. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecays toothbrush and Decayfighters toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is 1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?
(Other Elasticity Measures) Complete each of the following sentences: a. The income elasticity of demand measures, for a given price, the __________ in quantity demanded divided by the __________ income from which it resulted. b. If a decrease in the price of one good causes a decrease in demand for another good, the two goods are __________. c. If the value of the cross-price elasticity of demand between two goods is approximately zero, they are considered __________.
The price elasticity of demand for personal computers is estimated to be 2.2. If the price of personal computers declines by 20 percent, what will be the expected percentage increase in the quantity of computers sold?
What is the formula for the income elasticity of demand?
Explain why using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of demand gives the same result whether price increases or decreases, but using the initial price and quantity instead of the average does not.
