Consider the following values of the price elasticity of demand: | Cigarettes U.S. luxury cars in the U.S. Foreign luxury cars in the U.S. 0.5 1.9 2.8 Based on these values, provide an estimate of the impact on revenues of a 10% increase in the price of each of the above three products. (Hint: You are asked whether the revenues will increase or decrease and by what percentage. Mathematically, you want to calculate (AR/R) / (Ap/p), or equivalently, (dR/dp):(p/R). Also, keep in mind that R(p) =p·Q(p). Once you carry out the calculation, the answers are straightforward.)

Joe's Restaurant sells barbecue plates for $4.50 each, and serves an average of 525 customers per week. During a recent promotion, the restaurant manager cuts his price to $3.50 and observed an increase in sales to 600 plates per week. Calculate Joe’s price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method. Is demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic? Interpret the computed price elasticity of demand. Assume that the computed elasticity of demand in a) applies to a range of prices from $3.50 to $4. Joe is considering permanently lowering its price to $4.00 per plate to increase revenues. Does this move make sense in the light of the owner’s desire to increase revenue. Why or why not. If the restaurant manager decides to implement the new price of $4, how many plates does Joe’s expect to sell at the new price?
