You decide to sell pairs of running shoes. Assume that the quantity demanded is alinear function of the price. It is known that if you charge $40 per pair of shoes, thenyou will be able to sell 400 pairs of shoes in a month. If you charge $60 per pair ofrunning shos, then you can sell 300 pairs of shoes in a month. It is also known thatyour monthly fixed cost is $100 and pairs of shoes cost $20 per shoe to produce. Findwhat price you should charge for a pair of shoes in order to maximize profit in amonth
ELASTICITY EXERCISE Name _____________________________11) Due ____________ Please show work in detail. All questions utilize the multivariate demand function for Smooth Sailing sailboats in C6 on text page 83. Compute to three decimal places. Initial values are: PX = $9500 PY = $10000 I = $15000 A = $170000 W = 160 This function is: Qs = 89830 -40PS +20PX +15PY +2I +.001A +10W 1.(a) Use the above to calculate the arc price elasticity of demand between PS = $8000 decreasing to PS = $7000. The arc elasticity formula is: (b). Judging from the computation in (a), do you expect the revenue resulting from the decrease in price from $8000 to $7000 to increase, remain the same or decrease. (Hint: see the table on page 65 of Truett). Explain your choice. 2.(a). Calculate the point elasticity of demand for Smooth Sailing sailboats at PS = $8000 (which should make Qs = 141600). The formula is: 2.(b). Does this elasticity value indicate that…

Creative Homework/Short Project Assume that you arean entrepreneur who runs a bakery that sells glutenfree breads and cakes. You believe that the currenteconomic conditions merit an increase in the price ofyour baked goods. You are concerned. however, thatincreasing the price might not be profitable becauseyou are unsure of the price elasticity of demand for yourproducts. Develop a plan for the measurement of priceelasticity of demand for your products. What findingswould lead you to increase the price? What findingswould cause you to rethink the decision to increaseprices? Develop a presentation for your class outlining(I) the concept of elasticity of demand, (2) why raisingprices without undetstanding the elasticity would bea bad move. (3) your recommendations for measurement. and (4) the potential impact on profits for elasticand inelastic demand
Fast pls solve this question correctly in 5 min pls I will give u like for sure Mnty You sell donuts. Your cost per donut is 70 cents. You estimate that you will sell 300 donuts if the price is 80 cents per donut, and you will sell 280 donuts if the price is 90 cents per donut. Assume a linear demand function. What price maximizes profit?
