The number of products of a company is modeled by
x = 200 - 2p^2, 0 less than or equal to 'p' less than or equal to 10
where p is the price per product (0 less than or equal to 'p' less than or equal to 10).
a. Find the demand function, that is, express p in terms of x.
b. Find the price elasticity of demand.
c. Is the demand elastic or inelastic when x= 120
d. Is the demand elastic or inelastic when x= 160?
Explain how each of the following changes will affect Total Revenue (TR). Use the TR equation in your explanation...
(a) Firm A sells a good with Ed = 1.5 and the manager raises the price of this good 1% (all else equal)
(b) Firm B sells an inelastic product and lowers the price of its good by 1% (all else equal)
(c) Ed = 0 and a firm raises the price of this product by 1% (all else equal)
Which of the ff. is true with regards to the price elasticity of supply?
A. Higher the price elasticity of supply, the higher is the change in quantity supplied for a given change in the price of the good
B. Price elasticity of supply has a positive sign because the price and the quantity supplied are directly related
C. Sellers have a higher ability to respond to a change in the price of the good produced in the long run than in the short run
D. All statements are true

- The manager of a Cape Town superette carries a stock of Jive soft drinks. The countryexperiences an economic recession which yields an anticipated consumer income decrease of6 %. As a result, the income elasticity of demand for this product is estimated to be –2.5.(a) Calculate the percentage change in the quantity of your soft drink orders required toaccommodate the new demand without a surplus or shortage of inventory. [3](b) What does the elasticity coefficient of –2.5 reveal? [3]arrow_forwardFrance has the largest long-run elasticity of oil demand (–0.6) of any of the large, rich countries, according to Cooper's estimates. Does this mean that France is better at responding to long-run price changes than other rich countries, or does it mean France is worse at responding? Question 8 options: Better at responding Worse at respondingarrow_forwardIn this problem, p is in dollars and q is the number of units.Suppose that the demand for a product is given by (p + 7) q + 6 = 1120. (a) Find the elasticity when p = $33. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(b) Tell what type of elasticity this is. Demand is elastic.Demand is inelastic. Demand is unitary. (c) How would a price increase affect revenue? An increase in price increases revenue. An increase in price decreases revenue. Revenue is unaffected by price.arrow_forward
