In your country, the demand curve of a litre of petrol is given by: P = 107 - 5QD. Due to political unrest coupled with the slow recovery from pandemic, the global price of petrol surged which led to an increase of price per litre of petrol in your country from TK55 to TK80. After the price rise, the employees of the company you work for demanded a pay-raise. Your employer, hence, increased your income from 31033 taka to 46187 taka. The new demand curve at the new income level is P = 132 - 5QD. A). Calculate the income elasticity of demand (YED). B) Now assume that the increase in income (and the subsequent shift of the demand curve) had occured before the rise in price, then what would the YED be?
The economic analysis division of Mapco Enterprises has estimated the demand function for its line of weed trimmers as QD=18,000+0.4N350PM+90Ps where N=numberofnewhomescompletedintheprimarymarketarea PM=priceoftheMapcotrimmerPS=priceofitscompetitorsSurefiretrimmer In 2010, 15,000 new homes are expected to be completed in the primary market area. Mapco plans to charge $50 for its trimmer. The Surefire trimmer is expected to sell for $55. What sales are forecasted for 2010 under these conditions? If its competitor cuts the price of the Surefire trimmer to $50, what effect will this have on Mapcos sales? What effect would a 30 percent reduction in the number of new homes completed have on Mapcos sales (ignore the impact of the price cut of the Surefire trimmer)?
As a manager of a small business, you are considering to introduce a new product. The production requires a new machine. You figure out that you could buy it for $190,000, but the price could be in between $180,000 and $200,000. Because of the budget limitation you can only pay 60% of the machine price with your own saving. You will borrow the other 40% with an interest rate around 9% per year (but subject to change in between 8.5% and 10%). The demand of this product is predicted to be 15,000 per year and but could be in between 14800 and 15500. The unit price could be in between $2 and $3, and now you believe that $2.5 is a reasonable price right now. The raw material cost is estimated to be $0.9 but could be in between $0.5 and $1.2. The operation cost of the equipment is around $0.2 for one product but could be in between $0.1 and $0.25. The maintenance cost for this equipment is estimated to be $2000 per year but could be in between $1500 and $2300. Suppose you could always invest…

A manufacturer of entertainment centers uses the completion of new homes as part of their demand forecast. They consider that for every five homes that cost over $300,000 in the city, they make one sale. For every 20 new homes that cost over $150,000 but less than $300,000 in the city, they make one sale. Their projected demand for the future period, before they consider home sales, is for six entertainment centers. They now receive home figures of ten new homes of over $300,000 and 40 new homes of $150,000-$300,000. What should their new forecast be?
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 340 kgs per week.

A printer manufacturer estimates that the average purchaser of a printer will also purchase six ink refills over the lifetime of the printer. The relevant data are: Printer: price: $400, margin: $100 Refills: price: $40, margin: $30 The manufacturer is considering increasing the price of printers by 10% to $440. What volume decrease in the sales of printers is the stay-even sales change for the firm? (Ignore the issue of discounting the value of future ink refill sales. Imagine, for example, that all six are purchased upfront with the printer). A. 11.5% B. 12.5% C. 13.5% D. 14.5% Use = % Q = (Pold - Cold)/(Pnew - Cold) - 1
A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantiﬁed the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as Price = 150−0.01 × Demand for an annual printing of this particular product. The ﬁxed costs per year (i.e., per printing) = $50,000 and the variable cost per unit=$40. What is the maximum proﬁt that can be achieved if the maximum expected demand is 6,000 units per year? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand?
A manufacturer of computer workstations gathered average monthly sales figures from its 56 branch offices and dealerships across the country and estimated the following demand for its product: Q = +15,000 - 2.80P + 150A + 0.3Ppc + 0.35Pm + 0.2Pc The variables and their assumed values are Q = Quantity P = Price of basic model = 7,000 A = Advertising expenditures (in thousands) = 52 Ppc = Average price of a personal computer = 4,000 Pm = Average price of a minicomputer = 15,000 Pc = Average price of a leading competitor’s workstation = 8,000 Compute the elasticities for each variable. On this basis, discuss the relative impact that each variable has on the demand. What implications do these results have for the firm’s marketing and pricing policies?
Al Shamil Generator Factory is manufacturing three types of generators in the production line for this month:normal units, automatic units and dual units, the selling price of these products reached $ 500, $ 750 and $ 980, respectively, and these products cost raw materials $ 200, $ 300 and $ 400, respectively. Labor costs $ 100, $ 200, $ 250. And the demand for dual units does not exceed 30 units per month. And the normal demand is at least 90 units per month. And the demand for the automatic is 150 units per month at the most. The employment item for this month was $ 850,000.And the item of raw materials is one million dollars. Find the function and the linear model that achieves the lowest cost ??
Manning Inc. is the leading manufacturer of garage doors. Demand for residential garage doors depends, of course, on the rate at which new houses are being built, which in turn depends on changes in income per capita. During the past year, Manning sold 10 000 garage doors at an average price of R1 500 per door. In the coming year, disposable income per capita is expected to increase from R32 000 to R34 000. Without any price change, Manning expects current-year sales to rise to 12 000 units. 1. Calculate the arc income elasticity of demand. 2. The company economist estimates that in conjunction with the change in income, if the price of doors is increased by R100, they could sell 11 500 doors. What is the arc price elasticity and what would be the company’s revenue? 3. Should they raise the price even more?
