The Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfigh ter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopde cays sales declined by 1,500 units per month. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecays toothbrush and Decayfighters toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is 1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?
(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?
If automobiles and gasoline are complements, then their cross-elasticity coefficient is a. strictly greater than 1. b. positive. c. equal to zero. d. negative.
The price elasticity of demand for personal computers is estimated to be 2.2. If the price of personal computers declines by 20 percent, what will be the expected percentage increase in the quantity of computers sold?
(Determinants of Price Elasticity) Would the price elasticity of demand for electricity be more elastic over a shorter or a longer period of time?
Describe the general appearance of a demand or a supply curve with infinite elasticity.
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, Potomacs 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. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Potomacs oven and the competitive Spring City model? Would you say that these two firms are very dose competitors? What other factors could have influenced the observed relationship? 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?
If a decrease in the price of movie tickets increases the total revenue of movie theaters, this is evidence that demand is a. price elastic. b. price inelastic. c. unit elastic with respect to price. d. perfectly inelastic.
