The ATV Company produces a specialty cement used in the construction of roads. ATV is a price-setting firm and estimates the demand for its cement using a demand function in the linear form: Q = f (P, M, PR) where Qc = demand for cement/month (in yards) Pc = the price of cement per yard, M = country’s tax revenues per capita, and PR = the price of asphalt per yard.

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 above

Recently, Verizon Wireless ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services. The manager selected three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. One week later, the number of customers enrolled in Verizon’s cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. The manager used this information to estimate the own price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company’s 2012 annual revenues. One year later, the manager was perplexed because Verizon’s 2012 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2011—the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company’s revenues. Did the manager make an error? Explain
