In an attempt to increase revenues and profits, a firm is considering a 4 percent increase in price and an 11 percent 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?
(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?
Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -5, its income elasticity is 2, its advertising elasticity is 4, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is 3. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if advertising decreases by 3 percentInstructions: Enter your responses as percentages. Include a minus (-) sign for all negative answers.
Using a linear specification, you estimate your demand curve to equal Q=10-5P+20C+2A, where • Q = the quantity demanded of your product • P = the price of your product • C = college-ratio, which is the percentage of the local population that attends college. For instance, C=0.10 would indicate 10% of the local population attends a college. • A = digital advertising spend (in thousands of dollars) What is your demand elasticity with respect to the college-ratio when your price is $5, your digital advertising spend is $100,000 (i.e. A=100), and the college-ratio equals 0.25? a. εQ,C=0.0013 b. εQ,C=0.0263 c. εQ,C=20 d. εQ,C=15200
If a company successfully advertises its product, do we expect the price elasticity of demand for this firm’s perceived demand curve to increase, decrease, or remain the same?
If average household income increases by 10%, from $50,000 to $55,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Peacock (falls, rises) from rooms _____ per night to _____rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is (negative, positive) , meaning that hotel rooms at the Peacock are (a normal good, an inferior good) . If the price of a room at the Grandiose were to decrease by 10%, from $250 to $225, while all other demand factors remain at their initial values, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Peacock (falls, rises) from______rooms per night to_______rooms per night. Because the cross-price elasticity of demand is (negative, positive), hotel rooms at the Peacock and hotel rooms at the Grandiose are (complements, substitutes) . Peacock is debating decreasing the price of its rooms to $175 per night. Under the initial demand conditions, you can see that this would cause its total revenue to (decrease, increase) . Decreasing the price will always have this…
The consumer demand for a given product (where x represents number of units and p represents price is $) is given by the function x= (45-3p)2 Using the concept of Elasticity of Demand, determine the price that the product should be sold at to maximize revenue. Round to the nearest tenth.
the demand equation for a product is q=1.5p+600, where q is the number of a products that can be sold in a month and p is the price per product. (a) what price will produce the largest revenue? (b) what is the largest monthly revenue?
Cikli is the manager of a firm that receives a revenue of RM3000 per month from product X and RM7000 per month from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is -2.5 when original quantity (Q) for X and Y are 150 and 175 units, respectively and the cross price elasticity of demand between product X and Y is 1.1. If Cikli increases the price of good X by 1%. How much will Cikli’s total revenue change for product X?
Cikli is the manager of a firm that receives a revenue of RM3000 per month from product X and RM7000 per month from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is -2.5 when original quantity (Q) for X and Y are 150 and 175 units, respectively and the cross price elasticity of demand between product X and Y is 1.1. If Cikli increases the price of good X by 1%. How much will Cikli’s total revenue change for product X? How much is Cikli’s new total revenue for both of the products? Plot a graph for product X and another for product Y, showing the before and after change in price. Give an appropriate example for each product.
The price elasticity of demand for your product is 2.0, and your marginal cost is $30. What is your profit-maximizing price? Suppose that you can run a new advertising campaign and differentiate your product by emphasizing its unique features, thereby decreasing the price elasticity of demand to 1.8. What is your new profit-maximizing price?
Suppose that the price of product X rises by 12 percent and the quantity supplied of X increases by 15 percent. The coefficient of price elasticity of supply for good X is Multiple Choice negative, and therefore X is an inferior good. positive, and therefore X is a normal good. more than 1, and therefore supply is elastic. less than 1, and therefore supply is inelastic.
