onsider the “Trip Logistic” example discussed in class (i.e. base case). Please solve the same problem with each of the following changes, and compare the results with those of the basecase: a) The spot market price (in period 0) is reduced to $0.55 per sq. ft. per year. Assume that everything else remains the same as the base-case. b) There is a lower demand uncertainty: Demand can go up by 5% with p= 0.5 or down by 5% with 1 − p= 0.5. Assume that everything else remains the same as the base-case.

Using a linear specification, you estimate your demand curve to equal Q=10-5P+20C+2A, where • Q = the quantity demanded of your product • P = the price of your product • C = college-ratio, which is the percentage of the local population that attends college. For instance, C=0.10 would indicate 10% of the local population attends a college. • A = digital advertising spend (in thousands of dollars) What is your demand elasticity with respect to the college-ratio when your price is $5, your digital advertising spend is $100,000 (i.e. A=100), and the college-ratio equals 0.25? a. εQ,C=0.0013 b. εQ,C=0.0263 c. εQ,C=20 d. εQ,C=15200

The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000 where 1000x candy bars are demanded per week when p dollars is the price per bar. If the current price of the candy is 49 dollars per bar and the price per bar is increasing at the rate of 0.2 dollars each week, find the rate of change in the demand.
OPEC currently produces about 38 per cent of the world output of oil. Assuming the short-term price elasticity of demand is 0:28, estimate the effect of the output cut on the current price, stating any assumptions in your calculations.
Mead Plumbing currently sells thread seal tape at a price of $42.00 per roll. Their research department has derived the price-demand equation as p = 60 -0.02x where x is the number of tapes that can be sold at $p per roll of tape. (d) If the current price changes by 10%, what will be the approximate percentage change in demand? (e) Find the price at which a percentage change in price produces the same percentage change in demand.
