6. Rich Smothers runs a satellite television subscription service for a rural customer base is considering a sale on his satellite dishes Using monthly data he estimates the demand for the dishes to be Log Q = log 11-0.70 Log P + 1.4 Log I. R² = 0.85, SER= 2.33 (3.12) (0.10) (0.50) At an approximate 95% level of confidence, can you say that a price reduction will increase profits? Why? a. Yes, a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [-0.50 to - 0.90] so the firm is on the inelastic portion of the demand curve, and a price reduction will increase profits. b. No, a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [-0.50 to - 0.90] so the firm is on the inelastic portion of the demand curve, and a price reduction will reduce profits. c. Yes, a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [0.50 to 0.90] so the firm is on the elastic portion of the demand curve, and a price reduction will increase profit. d. No a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [0.50 to 0.90] so the firm is on the elastic portion of the demand curve, and so the effects of a price reduction cannot be determined.

Trader Joes requires an area to have an average income of at least $45,000 to consider having a store. The Economics faculty at WKU constructed a 95% confidence interval for the average amount income of Bowling Green residents and computed this to be $26,000-$55,000. Which of the following statements is true? A. 95% of Bowling Green residents earn between $26,000 and $55,000 annually. B. 95% of Bowling Green residents in the sample to earn between $26,000 and $55,000 annually. C. With 95% confidence, we can say that Bowling Green residents earn between $26,000 and $55,000 annually. D. We are unable to determine without knowing the margin of error.

The revenue from the sale of a product is, in dollars, R = 1500x + 3000(2x+3)-1 - 1000 where x is the number of units sold. Find the marginal revenue when 200 units are sold. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) $ Interpret your result. If the sales go from 200 units sold to units sold, the revenue will increase by about $ Suppose that the weekly sales volume y (in thousands of units sold) depends on the price per unit (in dollars) of the product according to the following formula. y = 30(3p+ 1) −2/5, p > 0 (a) What is the rate of change in sales volume when the price is $24?
