In a statement to Gillette’s shareholders, its CEO indicated, “Despite several new product launches, Gillette’s advertising-to-sales declined dramatically . . . to 7.5 percent last year. Gillette’s advertising spending, in fact, is one of the lowest in our peer group of consumer product companies.” If the elasticity of demand for Gillette’s consumer products is similar to that of other firms in its peer group (which averages –4), what is Gillette’s advertising elasticity? Is Gillette’s demand more or less responsive to advertising than other firms in its peer group? Explain
In an attempt to increase revenues and profits, a firm is considering a 4% increase in price, an 11% increase in advertising. If the price elasticity of demand is -1.5 and the advertising elasticity of demand is +0.6, would you expect an increase or decrease in total revenues
The demand curve for a product is given by QDx = 1,200 – 3Px – 0.1Pz, where Pz=$300. a) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $140? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price below $140? b) What is the own price elasticity of demand when Px = $240? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this price? What would happen to the firm’s revenue if it decided to charge a price above $240? c) Are goods X and Z substitutes or complements? What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between goods X and Z when Px = $140?

Assume that you are in an interview session and the panel asks you to give a pricing decision that will maximize company’s interest (revenue maximization). Price Qd Qs 10 80 20 11 75 30 12 70 40 13 65 50 14 60 60 15 55 70 16 50 80 This is demand and supply schedule, estimate the equations, calculate the elasticity, and justify your positions based on your calculations. Based on your demand equation, what price will maximize the revenue and what would be the elasticity at the revenue maximization point.
You make a lightweight compact foldable windbreaker. Your brand, Desert Wind Jackets, is well established in the Southwest. In a drive to broaden your appeal and open new markets, you have rebranded under the simple logo DWJ. The strength of your brand, loved by your customers in the Southwest, means you have a price elasticity of demand -2.76. Market research indicates that in the Upper West, where there is some knowledge of your brand, the price elasticity of demand is -3.50. In New England, where you are least known, it is estimated that the price elasticity of demand will be quite high, -5.76. Your marginal cost per jacket is $198.33.
