- The demand function for your product is: Q(P) = 1478-22P where P is price Assuming that P=$50 Calculate the point price elasticity of demand.arrow_forwardAn attractive feature of new cell phones that was introduced in recent years is that you can switch carriers easily with the same device. How does this feature affect demand for wireless phone services? What are the likely effects on the demand that a particular US carrier is facing? Are there any elasticities that were likely to be affected?arrow_forwardSuppose the demand for a product is given by D(p)=-8p+227. A) Calculate the elasticity of demand at a price of $18. Elasticity = (Round to three decimal places.) B) At what price do you have unit elasticity? (Round your answer to the nearest penny.) Price = $arrow_forward
- The price elasticity of demand for a textbook sold in the United States is estimated to be -2, whereas the price elasticity of demand for books sold overseas is -3. The U.S. market requires hardcover books with a marginal cost of $40; the overseas market is normally served with softcover texts on newsprint, having a marginal cost of only $15. Calculate the profit-maximizing price in each market.arrow_forwardAn end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from -2 to -3 . Suppose the normal price is$26, revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of -2 . What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to -3 ? (Hint: In other words, what price will equatemcost?)$11.70 $15,60 $13.6 $19.50arrow_forwardSuppose the demand for a product is given by D(p) = -2p+ 232. A) Calculate the elasticity of demand at a price of $59. Elasticity = (Round to three decimal places.) B) At what price do you have unit elasticity? (Round your answer to the nearest penny.) Price = $arrow_forward
- An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from -2 to -3. Suppose the normal price is $34 , which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of -2. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to -3 ? ( Hint : In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?) a) $ 30.60 b) $25.50 c) $33.15 d)$ 35.70arrow_forwardIf bus travel is an inferior good, its income elasticity of demand is a. strictly greater than 1. b. positive. c. equal to zero. d. negative.arrow_forwardIf automobiles and gasoline are complements, then their cross-elasticity coefficient is a. strictly greater than 1. b. positive. c. equal to zero. d. negative.arrow_forward
- The demand for wooden chairs can be modeled as D(p) = -0.01p + 6.75 million chairs where p is the price (in dollars) of a chair. (a) Find the point of unit elasticity. The point of elasticity occurs when p = $ and D(p): = (b) For what prices is demand elastic? For what prices is demand inelastic? Demand is inelastic for < p < ■ Demand is elastic for million chairs.arrow_forward4x + 500 10x +9 the number of plants sold per day when the price is x dollars per plant. A garden shop determines the demand function q = D(x) = (a) Find the elasticity. (b) Find the elasticity when x=3. (c) At $3 per plant, will a small increase in price cause the total revenue to increase or decrease? (a) The elasticity is during early summer for tomato plants where q is M Irarrow_forwardThe price elasticity of demand for air travel differs radically from first-class (-1.3) t to restricted discount coach (-1.8). Given these elasticities, what will be the difference between the optimal prices (fares) of first class and discount coach on a cross-country trip with incremental variable costs (marginal costs) equal to $120?arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
