A professor in the school of business of economics carried out a research for Toyota Kenya and found the overall demand for its vehicles has an elasticity of demand of 1.3.What are some of the managerial decision-making function of the concept of elasticity of demand.
The market demand function for Pierogi in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania has a constant elasticity of -3. More precisely the actual daily demand was estimated to be Q=34560p3, where p is the price per pound. Each pound costs c-$8 to produce. Pittsburgh is served by a local monopoly producer. Compute the monopoly's profit-maximizing price and the monopoly's profit level. Show your computations.
The elasticity of labor supply among females is -0.12. The interpretation of this estimate is what?
Assume that Gas & Minerals is the only copper mining firm in Chile. The national demand for copper in thousands of tonnes per month is: q^d(p) = 15 - pThe total costs in millions of dollars are: c(q) = 5q(a) What would be the profit-maximising level of production for this firm? Determine the monopoly price and quantify the profits. Graph the demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost, identifying their values along with determining the social loss generated and identifying it in the graph above. Assume now that due to a bad internal restructuring, the operations manager was fired and a professional with little mining experience was hired. The new manager does not know environmental protocol and mining waste (tailings) has gotten out of control and has been dumped into a river. This generated a negative externality on copper production. The estimated damage is US$5 million per 1,000 tonnes.(b) Obtain the social marginal cost of this mining activity.(c) What level of production will…

The demand function for a product is p=30-0.39 and the average cost function is c=0.2q+5+40/q , where p= price, and q=quantity demand. Need explanition for the questions 2,3 and 4. 1. Find the intervals where the demand is inelastic, elastic, and the price for which the demand is unit elastic. 2. Find the quantity that maximizes the total revenue and the corresponding price. Interpret your result(important). 3. Find the quantity that minimizes the average cost function and the corresponding price. Interpret your results (important). 4. What are the quantity and the price that maximize the profit? What is the maximum profit? Interpret your result.
A firm’s production function is Q = 600*L -1.0*L2. The firm is currently employing 83 units of labor. What is the elasticity of production? You can use a EXCEL spreadsheet or otherwise to answer this question.
A project requires signing buying 500 cubic yards of concrete per week for the next year from the only local provider. The currently price is $100 per yard and the provider sells 5,000 yards per week. Assuming marginal cost is constant, elasticity of demand at the current price is -1.5.The METB (marginal excess tax burden) is 0.2. a) find opportunity cost of the weekly government purchase (Opportunity Cost = Total Revenue – Economic Profit) b)find original demand and the new demand (Qd = a – b(P)) C)find the new price, and the new quantity purchased by those other than the government in the process.
A monopoly sells 30 units of output when price is GH¢12 and 40 units when price is GH¢10. If its demand schedule is linear, what is the specific form of the actual demand function? Use this function to predict quantity sold when price is GH¢8. What domain restrictions would you put on this demand function?
Suppose the current level of output is 9000 and the elasticity of output with respect to labor is 0.9.A 10% increase in labor would increase the level of output to.........
Good X can only be produced with a very rare mineral that can only be found in a single mine. Which is the likeliest price elasticity of supply for good X -1 0.36 4.8 5000
A firm's markup μ per unit of output is given by u = ((p - w/A)/p where p is the price of the output good, w is the nominal wage per hour, and λ is the average productivity of labour (the number of output units per hour). The markup u is determined from the elasticity of the demand curve the firm faces: μ = 1/elasticity. Which of the following statements are correct? A higher elasticity leads to a lower real wage. Ap - w is the nominal profit per hour per worker. The real output per worker (A) is split into the firm's share Au and the worker's share w/p. The real wage is given by w/p = μ - λμ.
