During the Covid-19 pandemic that hits the world, the demand for personal computers and laptops has increased significantly due to online learning. One of the popular brands is Lenovo. The monthly supply of Lenovo laptops is given by the equation QS = 15,000 + 43.75P. If the current price for Lenovo laptops is $800, what is the price elasticity of supply for this brand? O a. 0.7 O b. 0.9 O c. 0.75 O d. No correct answers.
01 Question Hugh, Frank, and Luis are the only three buyers of gold in a small mining town. Their inverse demand functions for gold are as follows: Hugh: p=240.00-40.00 × Qu. Frank: p= 48.00-8.00 × QF. Luis: p= 12.00-2.00 × QL Se QH-QF, and QL are the quantities (in ounces) demanded by Hugh, Frank, and Luis, respectively.
The quantity of a product demanded by consumers is a function of its price. The quantity of one product demanded may also depend on the price of other products. For example, if the only chocolate shop in town (a monopoly) sells milk and dark chocolates, the price it sets for each affects the demand of the other. The quantities demanded, q, and q2, of two products depend on their prices, p, and P2, k as follows: Enter the exact answers. If one manufacturer sells both products, how should the prices be set to generate the maximum possible revenue? What is that maximum possible revenue? P₁ = P2 = H. 9₁ = 9₂ = The maximum revenue is i 280 - 5p₁-3p2 360 - 3p₁ - 5p2.
In an effort to curb gun violence, some US cities are implementing gun buyback programs. Localpolice departments will buy back guns from the public, no questions asked. For such programs to beeffective, what must be true about the elasticity of demand and supply? Explain your reasoning withdemand-supply diagrams.
why do you think brand-named goods are more elastic or less elastic than categories, especially when there are very good substitutes for Exxon gasoline available at close distances?
First suppose the market demand for “cougar caps” is given by the equation: Q = a1 + a2 * P - a3 * P2 + a4*I where P is the price of cougar caps, I is income, Q is quantity of cougar caps and a1, a2, a3, a4 are positive constants. What is the price elasticity of demand? What conditions need to hold for this to be an elastic demand? An inelastic demand? What is the income elasticity? What conditions are needed for this to be a normal good ? Inferior?
The average ticket price for a concert at the opera house was $30. The average attendance was 5000. When the ticket price was raised to $33, attendance declined to an average of 4700 persons por performance. What should the ticket price be to maximize revenue for the opera house? (Assume a linear demand curve.) To maximize revenue, the price should be $ por ticket. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed. Simplify your answer.)
When the Covid-19 pandemic hits, chicken sellers are likely to raise chicken prices due to rising costs. The government had to act by setting a ceiling price for the supply of chicken in the market. The original price of chicken is RM6 per kilo. At that time, it is assumed that the equilibrium quantity is 1000 chickens. But the government has set the ceiling price at RM8 only. Draw and briefly explain a curve that illustrates the situation where ceiling pricing takes place in the sale of chicken in the market.
Which of the following is not a function of elasticity in the real world? O It gives a signal to the producers if there is an incentive for price changes in any area. It is an indicator of the possible changes in prices of a customer, given a demand in an area. O It is an indicator of the product-market fit of a specific product or service, as indicated in the income of an area overtime. O It is an indicator of the possible changes in producer's changes in supply in an area given price changes.

If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Triple Sevens rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is from rooms per night to , meaning that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are If the price of an airline ticket from LAX to LAS were to increase by 20%, from $250 to $300 roundtrip, while all other demand factors…
Please no written by hand solutions In the box “Geometric Tricks for Estimating Price Elasticity,” there are three statements about the elasticities of straight-line supply curves. One of those statements is that supply curves intersecting the quantity axis are inelastic. Can you prove that that is true by algebraic manipulation of the elasticity formula?
