Given that a firm has a turnover of $8000. Suppose that Firm estimates that its Ey-coefficient = 2.4. Suppose economists predict that the level of consumer income will fall by 8% next month. Calculate the change in the quantity demanded (both in percentage and units) for next month, assuming that the Firm sold 8000 units this month.

According to studies undertaken by the U.S. department of agriculture, the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about +0.5. Suppose a major brokerage firm advised its clients to buy cigarette stock under the assumption that, if consumer income rise by 50 percent as expected over the next decade, cigarette sales would double. Based on the fundamental economic principles on income elasticity of demand, a reasonable reaction to this investment advice would be?
Daffy’s is a pet care company that recently increased the average price of its services by 5%. As a result, the number of customers dropped by 4%. Assume that the average disposable income in the area in which it operates decreased by 4% over the last year. As a result, the number of customers at Daffy’s decreased by 3%. Based on this information, what is the income elasticity of demand for services at Daffy’s? Are pet care services at Daffy’s considered normal goods?
Suppose that the demand curve for a product is given by Qdx=100-2Px+aPy where Px = £20, where Py = £20 is the price of another product, and where a is 0. Calculate the demand for good X in this market at the current price level. How much revenue would the firm make? If the firm wishes to increase total revenue, would it need to increase or decrease the current price of good X? Calculate the cross-price point elasticity between goods X and Y at the current price level. Are the goods complements or substitutes?
A company increases the price of its product from $ 210 to $ 240 per unit and keeps 30,500 units of this product in stock each month . Is elasticity elastic, inelastic, perfectly inelastic, or unitary? Why? Please indicate which could be an example of this product. Why?
You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of 50,000 AED per year from product X and 40,000 AED per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is −1.25 and the cross-price elasticity of demand between products Y and X is −1.5. How much will your firm’s total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent?
After a careful statistical analysis, the Chidester Company concludes the demand function for its product is Q = 500 - 3P + 2Pr + 0.1I where Q is the quantity demanded of its product, P is the price of its product, Pr is the price of its rival’s product, and I is per capita disposable income (in dollars). At present, P = $10, Pr = $20, and I = $6,000. What is the price elasticity of demand for the firm’s product? a. -0.0291 b. -0.027 c. -0541 d. -.270

If the firm reduces price of X by 20 %, what will be the impact on its demand?
Smooth Sailing, Inc., has estimated the demand function for its sailboats (quantity purchased annually) as follows: QD= 89,830-40PS+20Px+15Py+2I+0.001A+10W Where, QD = quantity purchased, PS = the price of smooth sailing sailboats, PX = the price of Company X’s sailboat, PY = the price of Company Y’s motorboat, I = per capita income in dollars, A = dollars spent on advertising, and W = number of favorable days of weather in the southern region of the United States. Suppose that PS = $9,000, PX = $9,500, PY = $10,000, I = $15,000, A = $170,000, and W = 160. Find the price elasticity of demand at that point. Is elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic in part (a)? Justify?
A store that sells maize meal discovers that when the price of 1kg maize meal is R24 per kilogram, the quantity demanded is 306 kgs per week.
