A microchip company is looking at new product lines and is reviewing the findings of its marketing team. The second product, a semiconductor microchip, has the elasticity of demand function: E(p)=√p^2-6p+5. If they set the price at $5.35 will the demand be elastic or inelastic? To increase the revenue should they raise the price or lower it?
Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by: QS = -20 + 2P QD =100 - 2P where QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit. (b) Calculate both the demand and supply elasticity around the equilibrium point. [Hint: you can use either the point method or the average arc (midpoint) method.] [5]
If the price of a good decreases from $6.50 to $5.75 and, as a result, the quantity demanded increases from 500 to 700. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand is
Given the table of elasticity estimates and price increases, calculate the percentage decrease in unit sales and then predict if total revenue should increase or decrease based on your calculations. Instructions: Enter your responses as a percentage rounded to one decimal place if necessary. Do not include a negative sign (-) with your answers.
