Suppose a firm sells two goods, Good A and Good B. Use the following information to answer questions that follow:
Profit maximising price of Good A = R6000
MC at profit maximising level of output of Good A = R1200
MC at profit maximising level of output of Good B = R400
Total revenue of Good A = R80000
Total revenue of Good B = R68000
Rothschild index of Good B = 0.6
Price elasticity of the market demand for Good B = -1.2
2.1. Calculate the price elasticity of demand (Ed) for Good A.
Ed of Good A =
2.2 Suppose that the firm noticed that when it increased the price of Good A from R4000 to R6000, the sales of Good B decreased from 8000 to 2000 units. Calculate and classify the cross-price elasticity of demand between Good A and Good B.
Ec =
Good A and Good B are classified as (substitutes/compliments)
2.3. Use the elasticity coefficient calculated above and the information provided, to calculate by how much the firm’s total combined revenue will change if it decreases the price…
The demand for coffee is given by the following equation, where QD�� stands for the quantity demanded and P stands for price.
QD=100−4PQD= 100- 4P
The supply of coffee is given by the following equation, where QS�� stands for the quantity supplied and P stands for price.
QS=-10+2PQS= -10+ 2P
For parts a-d, consider a graph of the demand and supply curves with price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis.
What is the slope of demand?
Slope =
At what price is quantity demanded equal to zero (this is, graphically, the vertical intercept of Demand)?
P =
What is the slope of supply?
Slope =
