- The demand equation for cans of chicken is Qd= 60-3p Suppose the price of a can of chicken increases from $5 to $10. The price elasticity of demand is _________ (use decimals if necessary). We classify this price elasticity of demand as ____ over the $5 to $10 price change. A. Elastic B.Inelastic C.Unit elasticBy comparing the price elasticity in the R2 to R4 price range with the elasticity in the R8 to R10 range, you can conclude that the elasticity isa) greater in the R8 to R10 range.b) greater in the R2 to R4 range.c) the same in both price ranges.d) greater in the R8 to R10 range when the price rises, but greater in the R2 to R4 range when the price falls.Over the range from $12 to $14, Qd goes from 30 to 24. Using this range of prices and quantities, you should calculate the coefficient of price elasticity of demand. In the box labeled E1, the coefficient of price elasticity of demand is: 2 6 1.36 1.44 In box E2, you would interpret the coefficient calculated in the previous question. Therefore, you would characterize this range as: Elastic Unit Elastic Inelastic None of the Above
- If a $20 decrease in the price of long-distance calls from ($50-$30) leads to a $45 increase in the quantity of calls demanded from ($80-$125). Conclude that demand for phone calls is Unitary elastic Elastic InelasticA single producer company surveyed the elasticity data of its product X. The results indicated that: - X has an income elasticity of +0.8 - The cross-elasticity of X with Y is equal to -0.7 - The price elasticity of X is |0.8| Given these results, the company estimated that the forecast increase in consumer income is 5% next year, the expected increase in the price of Y is 10%. If the company intends to increase its sales by 3% in the following year, what is your recommendation for an adjustment in the price of X? (Hint: Consider the increase in income, then the effect of Y on X and then calculate the price adjustment to be made)Subject: Business economics Remaining: Q3) Colgate sells its standard size toothpaste for Rs. 25. Its sales have been on an average 8000 units per month over the last year. Recently, its competitor Sparkle reduced the price of its same standard size toothpaste from Rs. 35 to Rs. 30. As a result Colgate sales declined by 1500 units per month. Calculate the cross elasticity between the two products. What does your estimate indicate about the relationship between the two?
- using picture attached Over the range from $20 to $18, Qd goes from 12 to 17. Using this range of prices and quantities, you should calculate the coefficient of price elasticity of demand. In the box labeled H1, the coefficient of price elasticity of demand is: 3.28 5 3.01 2.97 In box H2, you would interpret the coefficient calculated in the previous question. Therefore, you would characterize this range as: Elastic Unit Elastic Inelastic None of the Above Using the dataset above, if prices increased from $8 to $10, then Total Revenue will: Increase Decrease None of the aboveThese questions require application of economic theory relating to elasticity of demand andsupply. All calculations must be shown in full. Answer ALL the questions.Q.3.1 A store that sells maize meal discovers that when the price of 1kg maize meal IsR24 per kilogram, the quantity demanded is 306 kgs per week. When the pricedecreases to R21 per kg, then the sales increase to 340 kgs per week. Use thisinformation to answer questions Q.3.1.1 and Q.3.1.2 below.Q.3.1.1 Determine the price elasticity of maize meal using the Arc method. (5)Q.3.1.2 Discuss the relationship between the price elasticity of maize mealand the total revenue the store received from the sales. Advise thestore on an appropriate pricing strategy.(7)Q.3.2 The store selling maize meal makes a further discovery, when the price of ricechanges from R30 per kg to R26 per kg, then the quantity of rice demandeddecreases from 1360 kg per month to 1238 kg per month. Use this informationto answer Q.3.2.1 and Q.3.2.2 below.Q.3.2.1…Assume a new nuclear power plant wishes to raise consumers’ electrical rates to cover the unexpectedly high cost of construction. However, the government regulatory commission refuses to let electrical rates be increased because they say it will only worsen the power plant’s financial problems. We can conclude that The power plant is arguing that the demand for elasticity is elastic, whereas the government is arguing that it is inelastic. The power plant should increase its electrical rates if the demand for electricity is elastic. The power plant should decrease its electrical rates if the demand for electricity is inelastic d. The demand for electricity must be unitary elastic
- The price of a laptop computer increases by 10%, and we observe a 20% decrease in quantity demanded. Using the above formula, calculate price elasticity and interpret if it is price elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic.The formula to calculate elasticity using the arc method is given below: E=Q2-Q1Q1+Q22P2-P1P1+P22Where,Q1= initial quantityQ2=new quantityP1=initial priceP2=new price E=340-306306+340221-2424+212E=34323-322.5E=34×22.5323×-3E=765-969E=-0.79 The value of elasticity in absolute terms is 0.79. Since the value of elasticity in absolute terms is less than one (0.79<1) the demand is inelastic. Can you put the above in correct format as per the formolation i get the answer different so not sure if i am doing something wrong see pic.Discuss how knowledge of price elasticity of demand might be of practical use to a firm selling holiday tours in an island like Mauritius in a period of falling income (low economic situation) following the exposure of COVID-19.
