The Potomac Range Corporation manufactures a line of microwave ovens costing $500 each. Its sales have averaged about 6,000 units per month during the past year. In August, Potomac’s closest competitor, Spring City Stove Works, cut its price for a closely competitive model from $600 to $450. Potomac noticed that its sales volume declined to 4,500 units per month after Spring City announced its price cut. a. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Potomac’s oven and the competitive Spring City model? b. Would you say that these two firms are very close competitors? What other factors could have influenced the observed relationship? c. If Potomac knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its ovens is −3.0, what price would Potomac have to charge to sell the same number of units it did before the Spring City price cut?
PNG’s managers estimate that a 50% increase in price would cause an 80% reduction in the quantity of product sold. Total fixed costs for the product are $5000 and total variable costs are $4000, based on production of 400 units. The following values may be useful. 1n (0.2) = –1.609 1n (1.5) = 0.405 1n (0.5) = –0.693 1n (4000) = 8.294 1n (0.8) = –0.223 1n (5000) = 8.517 What is PNG’s price elasticity of demand? –0.252 +0.322 –3.973 +3.108

Please calculate the total cost of providing a 50% subsidy on purchases of fruit and vegetables at farmers markets by SNAP participants. Assume that you are estimating it for the state of Connecticut with 350,000 SNAP participants. The season for farmers markets and the use of subsidies is 5 months (May-September); subsidies can only be used during this period. Based on prior studies, you know that a typical SNAP participant that attends farmers markets will purchase on average 3 lb of fruit and 2 lb of vegetables per month. Average price for vegetables is $1.5 per lb and the price elasticity of demand for vegetables among SNAP participants is -0.6. Similarly, fruit cost on average $2.5 per lb and the demand elasticity for fruit is -0.8. How much should the state of Connecticut expect to pay in total subsidies each season if only 20% of SNAP participants will attend farmers markets?
The firm’s vice president in charge of marketing believes that every 8% decrease in the selling price of one of the company's products would lead to a 26% increase in the product's total unit sales. The product's absorption costing unit product cost is ₱18.20. The variable production cost is ₱1.90 per unit and the variable selling and administrative cost is ₱2.30 per unit. The product's price elasticity of demand is closest to: a. -2.82 b. -4.41 c. -2.00 d. -1.79 The product's profit-maximizing price is closest to: a. ₱33.77 b. ₱3.60 c. ₱2.97 d. ₱6.57

In August, Potomac's closest competitor, Spring City Stove Works, cut its price for a closely competitive model from $600 to $545. Potomac noticed that its sales volume declined to 4,500 units per month after Spring City announced its price cut. a) What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Potomac's oven and the competitive Spring City model? b) If Potomac knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its ovens is −2.0, what price would Potomac have to charge to sell the same number of units it did before the Spring City price cut?
demand for a product is related to its selling price P (in dollars) by the equation n=2800-100p where n is the number of fans that can be sold per month at a price P. Find the selling price that will maximize the revenue.

Globalization’s fast pace around the world has helped people to adopt new trends and fashion at a higher rate as compared to the era with low level of FDI and trade. In Pakistan the growing concentration for Coffee cafes has opened new horizons for the investors to endow. If TYJ using the annual sales data of Gloria Jeans’ estimated the demand function for their upcoming venture in coffee market, answer the following: QC=10,000-20PC Derive the demand curve and explain the relationship between demand and price. If TYJ wishes to sell 5,000 cups of coffee a day, find the price for selling the same. Suppose if the price is determined at 350 identify the quantity TYJ would be able to sell. 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…
