your marketing research department estimates that the log-linear demand function for your product is ln qd = 8.7 - 1.6lnp. the standard error of the coefficent for lnp is 0.3, and the 95 percent confidence interval runs from -2.2 to -1.0. at a price of $30, what is the predicted price elasticity of demand? calculate the 95% confidence interval for the elasticity using the 95 percent confidence interval for the estimates coefficient.

- Nike Store at Lee Plaza in Dumaguete City wants to know the optimal price of one of their Clarkson shoe model, taking into account the purchases of socks and insoles. The current price of the Clarkson shoes is P4,499.50 per pair, the related annual sales of which is 24 pairs. The cost of the shoes is estimated at P3,450.00. The elasticity of demand for the shoes is estimated at -2.9 and assumed to be constant within a relevant price range. Every purchase of a pair of the Clarkson model leads to an average of 2 pairs of socks and 1 pair of insole being sold. The socks and insoles contribute P95, and P70, respectively. What is the profit-maximizing price for the pair of shoes? (Note: Ignore the currency sign and commas. Your answer should be up to two decimal places only.)

- Eastman Publishing Company is considering publishing an electronic textbook about spreadsheet applications for business. The fixed cost of manuscript preparation, textbook design, and web site construction is estimated to be $172,000. Variable processing costs are estimated to be $5 per book. The publisher plans to sell single-user access to the book for $42. Through a series of web-based experiments, Eastman has created a predictive model that estimates demand as a function of price. The predictive model is demand = 4,000 − 6p, where p is the price of the e-book. (a) Construct an appropriate spreadsheet model for calculating the profit/loss at a given single-user access price taking into account the above demand function. What is the profit estimated by your model for the given costs and single user access price (in dollars). $ (b) Use Goal Seek to calculate the price (in dollars) that results in breakeven.

The company can independently set its price in each country where it sells. For example, the price could be $150 in the United States and £110 in the United Kingdom. You can assume that the demand function in each country is of the constant elasticity form, each with its own parameters. The question is whether the company can use Solver independently in each country to find the optimal price in this country. (You should be able to answer this question without actually running any Solver model(s), but you might want to experiment, just to verify your reasoning.)arrow_forwardUsing regression analysis on data from a field experiment, the demand curve for a product is estimated to be QXd = 1,200 − 3PX − 0.1PZ where Pz = $300. a.
