MIcro: The company “Mike Broonie” operates in the market of monopolistic competition. Just now, the company weekly produces and sells 100 units of pillows for £12 each. The average total cost to produce the pillows doesn’t depend on the output, being £10 per unit. Having evaluated the price elasticity of demand for its product, the company concluded that demand is inelastic at the moment. a. What indicator characterizes the price elasticity of demand? What formula (or formulas) one can use to calculate this indicator? Choose any number for this indicator that, under the conditions specified in the case, could characterize the price elasticity of demand for the company “Mike Broonie”. b. Imagine that the owner of the company wants to increase the price of the company’s product. How will it affect sales, revenue, and profit (will each of these indicators increase, decrease, or remain the same)? Give here theoretically substantiated forecast. To increase the number of points…

. UT Sports, a store that sells various types of sports clothing and other sports items, is planning to introduce a new design of World Cup Kits. A consultant has estimated the demand curve to be Q= 8400 – 420 P Where Q is cap sales and P is price. How many KITs could UT sell at $25.2 each? How much would the price have to be to sell 7,560 KITs? Suppose UT were to use the KITs as a promotion. How many KITs could UT give away free? At what price would no KITs be sold? Calculate the point price elasticity of demand at a price of $ 25.2.

If Omer has sport hall for adults and children. The currently price per ticket is OR 5 for everyone (adults and children). His friend Ali who studied economics course in CCBA advises him that there may be another way of increasing your total revenue. Given the demand curves (adult demand and child demand) shown, Adult Demand Child Demand Price Price $10 $10 8. 7 7 6 5 4 3 3 2 1 1 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Quantity 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 Quantity Answer the following questions from the above two curves. a. What is Omer's current total revenue for both groups (adults and children)? b. Which market has the more inelastic demand? d. Given the graphs and what your friend knows about economics, he recommends you increase the price of adult's ticket to $8 and lower the price of a child's ticket to $3. How much could you increase total revenue if you take his advice?

6. Al's Appliancemart has market power in selling refrigerators. He just got in a shipment of undamaged refrigerators. Al has determined that there are two different types of buyers. One group are high demanders who have a more inelastic demand but tend to be picky about how nice their appliances look (they won't buy a dented one). Other buyers, low demanders, have a relatively more elastic demand, but also don't mind having a refrigerator with some dents. He pays $600 for each refrigerator from his supplier. 3/3 He has calculated that the high and low demander demand functions follows: Low: P = 1,000-0.5QL (QL = 2,000 - 2P) High: P = 1,600 - QH (QH = 1,600 – P) How much profit could Al earn if he sells them as is? How many should he add dents to (with a hammer) in order to maximize profit? What price would he then put on the non-dented and the dented refrigerators and how many would he sell of each? What would his profit then be?
Assume that you are in an interview session and the panel asks you to give a pricing decision that will maximize company’s interest (revenue maximization). Price Qd Qs 10 80 20 11 75 30 12 70 40 13 65 50 14 60 60 15 55 70 16 50 80 This is demand and supply schedule, estimate the equations, calculate the elasticity, and justify your positions based on your calculations. Based on your demand equation, what price will maximize the revenue and what would be the elasticity at the revenue maximization point.
