3. Problems and Applications Q3 Suppose the price elasticity of demand for heating oil is 0.1 in the short run and 0.9 in the long run. % in the short run and by If the price of heating oil rises from $1.80 to $2.20 per gallon, the quantity of heating oil demanded will fall by % in the long run. The change is in the long run because people can respond easily to the change in the price of heating oil. Grade It Now Save & Continue Continue without saving

ONLY ANSWER QUESTION #2 1. Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific models of products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And “Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online.”Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 28 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? 2. The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors. In fact, “when the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm’s elasticity of demand is expected to double (and you should be able to verify…
Problem 6: Suppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded Income = Rs. 20000 Quantity Demanded Income = Rs. 24000 Rs. 18 80 DVDs 100 DVDs 20 70 90 24 55 60 28 35 40 32 24 28 Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from Rs.24 to Rs.28 if (i) your income is Rs.20000 and (ii) your income is Rs.24000. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from Rs. 20,000 to $24,000 if (i) the price is Rs.18 and (ii) the price is Rs.20.

2. Suppose your marketing research department estimates the demand for your company’s product as Qx= 500-11Px+0.5Y, where Qx is the quantity demanded per week, Px is the price of product X, and Y is the average household income per week in the city. R2=0.87, the standard error of the coefficients of the price (Px) and household weekly income (Y) are 2 and 0.1, respectively. a. Are the coefficients of Px and Y statistically significant? b. Given the initial values Px=$10 and Y=$1000, find price elasticity (Ep) and income elasticity(EY), respectively. Is the demand for the company’s product price and income elastic, or inelastic? c. What action should the manager take to increase the company’s operating revenue? d. Is the company’s product a normal good? How do you know? e. Interpret what R2=0.87 means
For a demand function Qaf (P), a change in price causes a change in the quantity demanded. There are other five (5) variables, enumerate and explain each variable influencing demand in the general demand function. These are fixed at specific values for a given demand equation.
A change in consumer’s expectations causes a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain. A change in price of the goods results in a movement along the demand curve or a shift in the demand curve? Explain (Word count: 250 words max.) Buyers' expectations about future prices can affect the demand curve. If consumers expect prices to increase, they buy more of a product now, and the demand curve moves to the right. A demand schedule for a normal good is as follows: Price Quantity demanded Rs.230 70 210 90 190 110 170 130 Do you think that the increase in quantity demanded (say, from 90 to 110 in the table) when price decreases (from Rs.210 toRs.190) is due to a rise in consumers’ income? Explain clearly (and briefly) why or why not. Now suppose that the good is an inferior good. Would the demand schedule still be valid for…

Suppose Espresso increases its price for per cup of coffee, illustrate and explain the impact it might create on the demand of coffee provided by TYJ. Calculating the risk, help TYJ identify at what price the demand for coffee would fall to zero. Also, explain in your opinion the demand of coffee is…
1. A consumer consumes two kinds of goods, namely X and Y. The total satisfaction (TU) obtained in consuming both kinds of goods is shown in the equation; (Unit of money in thousands of dollars).TU = 10X + 24Y - 0.5X2 - 0.5Y2TU is the total satisfaction in consuming goods X and YX is the number of items X consumedY is the number of items Y consumedThe price of item X is known to be $ 2, the price of item Y is $ 6 and the budget available to buy item X and item Y is $ 44.Question:a. Determine how many goods X and the number of goods Y must be consumed so that the consumer gets maximum total satisfaction. Determine the total satisfaction that can be obtained from consuming item X and item Y.b. If the price of item X drops from $ 2 to $ 1, determine the quantity of item X and the number of items Y must consume to obtain maximum total satisfaction. Determine the total satisfaction that can be obtained from the consumption of item X and item Y. 2. A producer has a total cost function: TC =…
