Bubble tea is one of Malaysia's most popular beverages, especially among young working adults and students. With demand currently on a downward turn due to the effects of national Covid-19 measures, it was not long ago a huge craze that began sweeping Malaysians in 2018, resulting in an explosion of bubble tea shops and franchises across the country. In early 2020, the demand for a cup of Bubble Tea in Malaysia is given by the equation Qd = 500,000 - 45,000P. At a price of $5.00 per cup (USD price), what is the price elasticity of demand PED? O a. -0.818 O b. 1.10 O c. 0.818 O d. -1.10

Suppose the makers of PEZ candies have decided to test market a new dispenser with red, white, and blue candies. The PREZ dispenser (as it will be called in 2024) bearing the likeness of each political party's presidential candy-date is estimated to have a market demand given by: 5Q = 3000 - 200p where p is expressed in dollars per dispenser and Q is expressed in thousands of dispensers sold per week. a. If p= $6 per PREZ dispenser, how many PREZ dispensers will be sold that week? Less than a thousand? b. If p = $6 per PREZ dispenser, what will be the price elasticity of demand? PLEZ show your work. c. If the objective is to maximize revenue, how much would you recommend the company charge per PREZ dispenser?
The current world production of oil is 350 million barrels per day and the current world price of oil is N$850 per barrel. The price elasticity of demand (ε) is -0.3 and the elasticity of supply (η) is 0.1. Shiwa Investment is planning to enter the world oil market with a daily production of 13 million barrels of oil per day. For simplicity, assume that the supply and demand curves are linear Calculate market price and total supply of oil after Shiwa investment has enter the world oil market and explain why the total supply of oil increases with less than 13 million.
Manning Inc. is the leading manufacturer of garage doors. Demand for residential garage doors depends, of course, on the rate at which new houses are being built, which in turn depends on changes in income per capita. During the past year, Manning sold 10 000 garage doors at an average price of R1 500 per door. In the coming year, disposable income per capita is expected to increase from R32 000 to R34 000. Without any price change, Manning expects current-year sales to rise to 12 000 units. 1. Calculate the arc income elasticity of demand. 2. The company economist estimates that in conjunction with the change in income, if the price of doors is increased by R100, they could sell 11 500 doors. What is the arc price elasticity and what would be the company’s revenue? 3. Should they raise the price even more?
The government is considering passing a regulation that will prohibit the use of a certain chemical in the production of good XYZ because of its damaging environmental effects. It is estimated that because of this regulation which will stop manufacturers of good XYZ from using this chemical, the price of good XYZ will increase from $5 to $6, It is also estimated that because of the higher price 2 million fewer units of XYZ will be sold. (Currently with P $5, 6 million units are sold.) Which of the following best describes the likely autcome of this regulation in the market of good XYZ, if everything else stays the same except for this price change? Consumer surplus will decrease by $5 million. Consumer surplus will decrease by $10 million Consumer surplus will decrease by $1 million. Consumer surplus will decrease by $4 million. none of the above

(В) The British Automobile Company is introducing a brand new model called the "London Special." Using the latest forecasting techniques, BAC economists have developed the following demand function for the "London Special": Qр 3 1,200,000- 40P a) What is the point price elasticity of demand at prices of (a) $8,000 and (b) $10,000? b) Is it Elastic, Unit Elastic or Inelastic, Explain why?
The demand function for a certain product is determined by the fact that the product of the price and the quantity demanded equals 8000. The product currently sells for $2.20 per unit. Suppose manufacturing costs are increasing over time at a rate of 18% and the company plans to increase the price p at this rate as well. Find the rate of change of demand over time. Find the demand function represented in this problem where p is the price of the product and q is the quantity demanded for the product. (Type an equation.)
According to studies undertaken by the U.S. department of agriculture, the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about +0.5. Suppose a major brokerage firm advised its clients to buy cigarette stock under the assumption that, if consumer income rise by 50 percent as expected over the next decade, cigarette sales would double. Based on the fundamental economic principles on income elasticity of demand, a reasonable reaction to this investment advice would be?
ATV is a price-setting firm and estimates the demand for its cement using a demand function in the linear form: Q = f( P, M, PR) where Qc = demand for cement/month (in yards) Pc = the price of cement per yard, M = country’s tax revenues per capita, and PR = the price of asphalt per yard.
