1. Exercise 14.1 The price elasticity of demand for a textbook sold in the United States is estimated to be -2, whereas the price elasticity of demand for books sold overseas is -3. The U.S. market requires hardcover books with a marginal cost of $40; the overseas market is normally served with softcover texts on newsprint, having a marginal cost of only $15. The profit-maximizing price in the U.S. market is that MR P× (1+ × (1+)) and the profit-maximizing price in the overseas market is (Hint: Remember

вср 5) Suppose you're an economist for a private university, and the Board of Trustees tasks you with determining how much a tuition increase would impact university enrollment for different types of students. The proposed tuition increase is 10%. The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for legacy students, that is, students whose parents graduated from the university, is 0.15 and for nonlegacy students is 0.33. The demand curve for legacy students is elastic than the demand curve for nonlegacy students. The rise in tuition would lower student enrollment by %. for non legacy studens Less: 1.5 Less; 3.3 More; 1.5 More; 3.3 0110

You would like to control the total consumption of soft drink up to 100 bottles per year. The current two brands you drink are Pepsi and Coke. The current demand, price, elasticity, and minimum demand for Pepsi and Coke are given in below. In addition, you would like to keep equal or more demand from Pepsi due to brand loyalty. Assuming linear demand curves, what are the best price for Pepsi and Coke that can minimize your total payment? Elasticity Current price Demand Minimum demand Keep Pepsi income > = 60% of total payment Pepsi 2 2 300 20 Coke 1 3.5 220 25
8.4 Price-Volume Pricing (Figures 8-23 to 8-25) The price elasticity for personal computers is estimated to be –2. For the PC manufacturer shown, evaluate the sales and profit impact of a 10% price increase and a 10% price decrease. For each pricing strategy, determine the break-even market share and discuss the profit risk associated with it.
5.(a). Calculate the point advertising elasticity of demand for advertising expenditures (A) = $10000 also with PT = $10000 (which should make QT= 370). Other variables and their values are given at the top, before question #1. The formula is: (b). Does this elasticity indicate that demand for Toyotas is very responsive to changes in advertising expenditures (thus suggesting that advertising is a very important way to increase sales)? Explain why or why not.
You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $60,000 per year from product X and $80,000 per year from product Y. The own price elasticity of demand for product X is -1.5, and the cross- price elasticity of demand between product Yand X is -1.4. How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar. Use a negative sign (-) if applicable. %24

In a small town, there are two bakeries that produce similar types of bread. Bakery A has been in business for several decades and has a loyal customer base. Bakery B is a new entrant in the market, offering similar quality but at slightly lower prices. As a result, some customers have started shifting their purchases to Bakery B. Question:How does the concept of price elasticity of demand apply to the situation between Bakery A and Bakery B, and what factors might influence consumers' decisions to switch their bread purchases?
