For the first time in two years, Big G (the cereal division of General Mills) raisedcereal prices by 4 percent. If, as a result of this price increase, the volume of all cerealsold by Big G dropped by 5 percent, what can you infer about the own price elasticityof demand for Big G cereal? Can you predict whether revenues on sales of its LuckyCharms brand increased or decreased? Explain. (LO1, LO3)

- Suppose you are in change of sales at a pharmaceutical company, and your firm has a new drug that causes bald men to grow hair. Assume that the company wants to earn as much revenue as possible from this drug. If the elasticity of demand for your companys product at the current price is 1.4, would you advise the company to raise the price, lower the price, or to keep the price the same? What if the elasticity were 0.6? What if it were 1? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSuppose that your demand schedule for DVDs is as follows: Price Quantity Demanded (income = 10,000) Quantity Demanded (income = 12,000) 8 40 DVDs 50 DVDs 10 32 45 12 24 30 14 16 20 16 8 12 a. Use the midpoint method to calculate your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDs increases from 8 to 10 if (i) your income is 10,000 and (ii) your income is 12,000. b. Calculate your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from 10,000 to 12,000 if (i) the price is 12 and (ii) the price is 16.arrow_forward(Calculating Price Elasticity of Demand) Suppose that 50 units of a good are demanded at a price of Si per unit. A reduction in price to $0.20 results in an increase in quantity demanded to 70 units. Using the midpoint formula, show that these data yield a price elasticity of 0.25. By what percentage would a 10 percent rise in the price reduce the quantity demanded, assuming price elasticity remains constant along the demand curve?arrow_forward
- (Price Elasticity of Supply) Calculate the price elasticity of supply for each of the following combinations of price and quantity supplied. In each case, determine whether supply is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic. a. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 400 units. b. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 500 units. c. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied remains at 600 units. d. Price increases from $1.75 to $2.25, quantity supplied increases from 466.67 units to 600 units.arrow_forwardSuppose you learned that the price elasticity of demand for wheat is 0.7 between the current price for wheat and a price 2 higher per bushel. Do you think that farmers collectively would try to reduce the supply of wheat and drive the price up 2 higher per bushel? Explain your answer. Assuming that they would try to reduce supply, what problems might they have in actually doing so?arrow_forwardThe Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfigh ter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopde cays sales declined by 1,500 units per month. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecays toothbrush and Decayfighters toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is 1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?arrow_forward

If all mobile-phone companies simultaneously increased their prices, will total revenue in the industry increase or decrease? If a single mobile-phone company increased its price, would you expect the company’s total revenue to increase or decrease? Explain. Suppose that the price in the market is initially $10 and the quantity demanded is 100 units. If the price in this market increases by 10%, what will be the percentage change in the quantity demanded?arrow_forwardSuppose an 18 percent drop in the price of strawberries leads to a 24 percent increase in the quantity demanded of strawberries and a 12 percent decrease in the quantity demanded of plums. a. What is the price elasticity of demand for strawberries? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. b. At the current price level, the demand for strawberries is because the price elasticity of demand for strawberries is . c. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between strawberries and plums? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. d. Strawberries and plums are because the cross-price elasticity of demand is .arrow_forwardWhich statement is true? O The point price elasticity of demand is always greater than 1 in absolute value in the inelastic region of the demand function. O The point price elasticity of demand does not change if the demand function is linear. The point price elasticity of demand varies on a straight demand curve. O All the above are true.

- 4. Assume that the price changed from P1 to P2. Compute for the point elasticity and determine the degree of elasticity: P1 = 25 P2 = 32 Q1 = 5 Q2 = 5.1 What is the Elasticity coefficient and Degree of Elasticity? Note: coefficient should be rounded off to two decimal places; Degree of Elasticity should be any of the following: Elastic, Inelastic, Unit Elastic, Perfectly Elastic, or Perfectly Inelastic.arrow_forwardA: Suppose the initial demand at the price of $10 was 100. When the price rises to $12, the demand drops to 30. Find the price elasticity of the demand. Is the demand elastic or inelastic in this price range? Will the revenue increase or decrease as the result of this price change? Justify your answer. B:. Using calculus, calculate the price elasticity of the following demand functions: D(p)=10-2ln(p) and D(p)=7p -3 . C: Suppose now that the demand is D(p)=12-3p. At what price is the revenue maximized? What is the maximum revenue? What is the price elasticity of demand at this price?arrow_forwardSuppose, the income of a person increased from R.O 1,000 to 1,250. It resulted in an increase in his demand for dry fruits from 5kg to 8kg per month. Determine the income elasticity of demand for dry fruits. a. 1.3 b. 2.2 c. 2.4 d. 1.5arrow_forward
