(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?
Upon graduating from UT this May, you take on a management position working at UtMax theater. You will consider the utility of seeing performance over 1 month, and suppose that at a regular price of $$$ per ticket (my assigned ticket price is 145), customers will see no performance, however with the price reduced by $5, customers will see one performance per month and when reduced by $10, customers will see two performances. As long as the number performances, x, is small, your demand function for performance can be modeled by p=D(x). Write down your demand function.
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?
Based on the graphical representation in Figure 1, calculate the price elasticity of demand for ibuprofen. Address the following questions when crafting your answer: What impact would a price increase have on the demand for ibuprofen and on consumer surplus given the price elasticity of demand depicted in Figure 1? What factors usually influence a resource’s price elasticity of demand? In the real world, you might expect the consumption choices of ibuprofen to be affected by brand-name versions of ibuprofen, such as Advil. Would you expect the brand-named products to have the same elasticity of demand as generic ibuprofen?
Explain the Slustky equation and discuss how it can be used to determine the effect of a change in income of good (x), if x is an inferior good. Using graphical analysis of consumption of (x, y), show the effect of an increase in the price x on the demand for both goods. What does this indicate about the cross-price elasticity between x and y.
Suppose the income elasticity of demand for ProductZ is -0.8 and the cross price elasticity of demand of Product Z with respect to price of Product M is 2.0. Alex owns a factory producing Product Z. a) State and explain the type of good Product Z is. b) Assuming price of Product Z remains unchanged, state and explain using relevant calculations, specifically how the total quantity demanded of Product Z will be affected when the income of the population decreases by 10%, and the price of Product M increases by 15%.
Consider the demand function d(p)=300e^−0.01p^2 items purchased when charging p dollars per item. Currently the price is 9 dollars per item. Use marginal analysis to estimate the decrease in demand when the price increases by 0.3 dollars per item. Demand would decrease by approximately _____ items. Round your answer to three decimal places.
The demand for hamburgers is given by Qd=10-p and the supply is Qs=4p-10, where pd and ps are, respectively the price paid by demanders and the price received by suppliers. A: Draw the demand and supply functions. What is the price-elasticity of demand? What is the price-elasticity of supply? B: Find the equilibrium quantity and price, and show them on the graph. C: Suppose due to the rising health awareness the demand decreases to Q d=5-p. Find the new equilibrium prices and quantity, and show them on the graph. D: Suppose that the demand and supply are as before, i.e. Qd=10-p and Qs=4p-10, but now the government imposes a quantity tax on the suppler at the rate of 1 per unit of the quantity. What quantity will be sold and what price? E: In part d), what is the total amount of tax collected by the government? How this tax amount is divided between the demanders and supplier? Who pays more and why? Explain
