Your friend started a new business selling masks. She asked for your help in making some important decisions. From the data obtained from her, you computed the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) of Masks, and found absolute PED in February was 1.86, and since then the absolute PED of Masks declined by 55% in June. (a) Based on the PED of June, you would advise your friend for an increase/decrease/unchanged in the price - (b) The market price of the mask in July was Tk20 per unit. The total revenue earned in July was Tk300. You received the data for August and observed that the price now in August is Tk28 per unit and the quantity of masks sold in August is 12 units. Calculate the absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for masks from July to August.arrow_forward

True Falsearrow_forwardQuestion 4The Pear company sells a smart phone for $250. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the last year. Recently, its closest competitor Banana company reduced the price of its smart phone from $350 to $300. As a result, Pear’s sales declined by 1,500 units per month. (a) What is the cross price elasticity of demand between the Pear and Banana smart phone? Use the averaging formula. What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? (b) If the Pear company knows that the price elasticity of demand for its phone is -1.5, what price would the Pear company have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Banana company price cut? Assume that Banana company holds its price of its phone constant at $300.
