The table below gives the demand schedule for running shoes for two consumers, Ashtete and Brigid. That is, while Ashtete demands 3 pairs of shoes when the price is €116, Brigid demands 3 pairs when the price is €112. What is the change in consumer surplus if a per-unit tax increases market price from €102 to €125? Ashtete Brigid 1 €159 €137 2 €140 €120 3 €116 €112 €94 €108 €74 €94 €66 €86 Assume quantities must be integers, round to two decimal places and do not enter the currency symbol. If your answer is -€1.275, enter -1.28. 4.

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?
Cikli is the manager of a firm that receives a revenue of RM3000per month from product X and RM7000 per month from productY. The price elasticity of demand for product X is -2.5 whenoriginal quantity (Q) for X and Y are 150 and 175 units,respectively and the cross price elasticity of demand betweenproduct X and Y is 1.1. If Cikli increases the price of good X by1%.a. How much will Cikli’s total revenue change for product X?b. How much is Cikli’s new total revenue for both of the products?
Suppose you are the managing director of a firm that produces two goods: A and B. The priceelasticity of demand for good A is 0.75 and for good B it is 2.5. The firm is experiencing seriouscash flow problems and you have to increase total revenue as soon as possible. If you were ina position to set the price for these two goods, what would be your pricing strategy for eachproduct?

Genovia has experienced exceptional growth in recent years. Its GDP per capita (orIncome) has increased from around $30,000 to $50,000 in last 5 years. Over theperiod quantity demanded of personal cars has increased from 450,000 units per yearto 600,000 units. Quantity demanded of public transport, however, has declined from10,000 buses to 7,000 buses. Calculate income elasticity of demand and tell whichproduct is a normal good and which one is inferior.
Timmy is selling his toy dinos again. The consumer demand curve for thedinos is given by: x=(50-3p)^2 where p is the price per dino, and x is the demand in weekly sales. a.) Find the Elasticity of Demand function E(p) and evaluate it at the price p = $5.Is the demand elastic, inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity? Explain what this means inyour own words. b.) Find the price Timmy needs to charge for his dinos in order to maximize revenue.(Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer within 45min please Suppose that Andrew’s Hotel will be open for only two days: a peak season day and anoff-peak day. Andrew has two types of costs: room construction costs and guest service costs. Thecost of servicing any guest is 50 dollars. The cost of building a room is 400 dollars, but rooms canbe used for both types of day. Inverse demand for peak days is P = 1000 −Q, and demand foroff-peak is P = 500 −2Q.What prices should Andrew, who is looking to maximize his profits, set, and how many roomsshould he build?

(2) In a fictitious town of Fruitlandia, 4 individuals each buy apricots following their individualdemands P = 6 – Q and 1 individual buys following individual demand P = 11 – Q, where Pdenotes the price and Q denotes the quantity. For the price range between $0 to $6, the town’saggregate demand is given by(a) P = 35 – 5Q(b) P = 17 – 2Q(c) P = (17/2) – (Q/2)(d) P = 7 – (Q/5)(e) None of the above
