- (Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?For each of the determinants of demand in Equation 2.1, identify an example illustrating the effect on the demand for hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles such as the Toyota Prius. Then do the same for each of the determinants of supply in Equation 2.2. In each instance, would equilibrium market price increase or decrease? Consider substitutes such as plug-in hybrids, the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt, and complements such as gasoline and lithium ion laptop computer batteries.Estimates presented in Exhibit 5 show that Android users have a higher price elasticity of demand for apps in the Google Play Store than do iPhone users in the Apple App Store. Why might Android users tend to be more sensitive to app prices than iPhone users? What categories or types of apps (for example, games/social media) do you think have the highest price elasticities?
- (Price Elasticity of Supply) Calculate the price elasticity of supply for each of the following combinations of price and quantity supplied. In each case, determine whether supply is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic. a. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 400 units. b. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 500 units. c. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied remains at 600 units. d. Price increases from $1.75 to $2.25, quantity supplied increases from 466.67 units to 600 units.Suppose you are in change of sales at a pharmaceutical company, and your firm has a new drug that causes bald men to grow hair. Assume that the company wants to earn as much revenue as possible from this drug. If the elasticity of demand for your companys product at the current price is 1.4, would you advise the company to raise the price, lower the price, or to keep the price the same? What if the elasticity were 0.6? What if it were 1? Explain your answer.Suppose you learned that the price elasticity of demand for wheat is 0.7 between the current price for wheat and a price 2 higher per bushel. Do you think that farmers collectively would try to reduce the supply of wheat and drive the price up 2 higher per bushel? Explain your answer. Assuming that they would try to reduce supply, what problems might they have in actually doing so?
- 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?On Tuesday, the price and quantity demanded are 7 and 120 units, respectively. Ten days later, the price and quantity demanded are 6 and 150 units, respectively. What is the price elasticity of demand between the 7 and 6 prices?(Price Elasticity and Total Revenue) Fill in the blanks for each price-quantity combination listed in the following table. Now graph this relationship, making sure to label each axis. What relationship have you depicted?
- What is the formula for line cross-price elasticity of demand?Using the midpoint formula for calculating the elasticity of supply, if the price of a good rose from $95 to $105, what would be the elasticity of supply if the quantity supplied changed from a. 38 to 42? b. 78 to 82? c. 54 to 66?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. When the price decreases to R21 per kg, then the sales increase to 340kgs per week. Use this information to answer questions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 below: 3.1.1. Determine the price elasticity of maize meal using the arc method (5) 3.1.2 Discuss the relationship between the price elasticity of maize meal and the total revenue the store received from the sales. Advise the store on an appropriate pricing strategy.
