Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B(sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales beforethe 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales afterthe 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million A. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B. B. Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group. C. Suppose Nile.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he or she logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Nile.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?

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?

1. Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific models of products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And “Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online.” Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 28 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? 2. The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors. In fact, “when the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm’s elasticity of demand is expected to double (and you should be able to verify this through…
The price elasticity of demand is more likely to be inelastic if Othere are a lot of substitutes available. O the price of the product is a large fraction of income. Othere is a long time frame involved. O the product is a necessity.

Suppose you are given the following information about the demand for vinyl records: P = 60 – 1.5QD a) Suppose the price increases from $15 to $30, what is the arc elasticity of demand? b) Suppose the price decreases from $30 to $ 15, what is the arc elasticity of demand? c) How does you answer from part (a) and (b) compare with the point elasticity of demand when price is $15? What about when price is $30?
