3. Fred Jones a new employee at Stibo's Frozen Foods estimates that the price elasticity of demand for Stibo's Frozen Pizzas to be -1.23, as compared to a price elasticity of demand for frozen pizzas in general of -2.34. In light of the relative inelasticity of Stibo's Frozen Pizza's, Fred recommends raising the price to increase sales revenues. You, a more experienced member of the firm, are suspicious of Joe's estimate, and are skeptical of his recommended plan of action? Why? (Hint: Think about the determinants of price elasticity of demand). Reason to suspect Fred's estimate: Reason to doubt Fred's plan of action:

How would you expect the elasticity of demand for each of the following products to compare with the price elasticity of demand for standard car tires? Explain your answer. a. Snow tires (not necessary, but handy on snowy days) b. School bus tires (purchased with tax dollars on a fixed schedule) c. Bicycle tires (which require a smaller portion of a consumer's income than car tires) d. Tires made by the most reputable company (more of a luxury than a necessity)

You sell two different goods: printers and toner cartridges. The price elasticity of demand for the printers is -3.4, and you earn a revenue of RM15,000 per month from the good. You earn a revenue of RM5,000 per month from the toner cartridges. The cross price elasticity of demand for both of the goods is -2.5. If you decide to decrease the price of the printers by 5%, calculate your new total revenues for both of the goods. [Anda menjual dua barang berbeza: pencetak dan kartrij toner. Keanjalan harga permintaan untuk pencetak adalah -3.4, dan anda memperoleh jumlah hasil sebanyak RM15,000 sebulan memperoleh jumlah hasil RM5,000 sebulan untuk kartrij toner.

3. The Burrito Barn is considering a price reduction on the Firegut Burrito, which currently sells for the price of $5.00. Giuseppe, the proprietor of Burrito Barn, knows the price elasticity for the Firegut is roughly equal to -2.3 over the range being considered for the price change. The Firegut has been selling at the brisk pace of 500 burritos per week. To increase market share, Giuseppe would like to increase sales to 750 per week. What price should Giuseppe set?

Calculate the Elasticity Coefficient for the following scenario. Patty bakes pies, she sells them for $10 each and sells about 55 pies per week. But the price of her ingredients increased so she' s contemplating a price increase. She will raise the price to $12 and she estimates her demand will fall to 50 pies per week. Calculate the elasticity coefficient for Patty's Pies. Are Patty's Pies elastic or inelastic? Should she raise her prices? Or keep them the same? You should be able to show your work.
