George has been selling 7,000 T-shirts per month for $7.00. When he increased the price to $9.00, he sold only 6,000 T-shirts. Which of the following best approximates the price elasticity of demand? -0.6769 -0.6154 -0.3077 -0.5538 Suppose George's marginal cost is $4 per shirt. Before the price change, George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately . George's desired markup is . Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was than his desired margin, raising the price was

3. The Burrito Barn is considering a price reduction on the Firegut Burrito, which currently sells for the price of $5.00. Giuseppe, the proprietor of Burrito Barn, knows the price elasticity for the Firegut is roughly equal to -2.3 over the range being considered for the price change. The Firegut has been selling at the brisk pace of 500 burritos per week. To increase market share, Giuseppe would like to increase sales to 750 per week. What price should Giuseppe set?
Ab 32 Economics Elasticity is the relationship between price and available quantity in an economic market. Choose any three products. Then classify and describe their price elasticity of demand (relatively inelastic, relatively elastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, unitary elastic). Be sure to include three different types of elasticity. Discuss what happens to demand for each product when there is a price change. With customers in mind, which elasticity applies to your selected business? Explain why did you s

John owns the Latin Chocolate store. He charges $5 per pound for her hand made chocolate. You, the economist, have calculated the elasticity of demand for chocolate in her town to be 0.8. If he wants to increase his total revenue, what advice will you give him and why? Be able to explain your answer.
You are working trying to estimate the proper price to charge a market for the firm that sells beer in Lancaster Pennsylvania. They estimated that the demand curve for the market is Quantity demanded=20-2P. The firm currently prices the good at 8 dollars. They want to move the price to 6 dollars in a attempt to increase profits. 1) What is the elasticity for this move in price (Use the midpoint method for elasticity) make sure you show your work? 2) Now you are contacted by a different branch of this company that is in a lower priced (Scranton P.A.) market with the same demand curve. They want to move the price from 2 to 5 dollars. What is the elasticity of this change (Use the midpoint method)? 3) Now suppose you find out that there is a similar product that impacts the Quantity demanded for a product. The relationship is Qd=15+Pb. Now suppose the price (Pb) of the other good is 5 and goes to 6. What is the Cross-price elasticity of the good?
Is the demand for a particular brand of car, like a Chevrolet, likely to be more or less price-elastic than the demand for all cars? It's likely to be more/less price-elastic because of the availability of substitues/complements
Problem Number 8 Economics: Elasticity of Demand for DVD Rentals. The demand for DVD rentals at Klix Video is given by q= D(x) = 120 - 20x, where q is the number of DVDs rented per day at x dollars per rental. Find each of the following. a) The elasticity as a function of x b) The elasticity at x = 2 and at x = c) The value of x for which E(x) = 1. Interpret the meaning of this price. d) The total-revenue function, R(x) = (x) D(x) e) The price x at which total revenue is a maximum 4. Interpret the meaning of these values of the elasticity.

6. Al's Appliancemart has market power in selling refrigerators. He just got in a shipment of undamaged refrigerators. Al has determined that there are two different types of buyers. One group are high demanders who have a more inelastic demand but tend to be picky about how nice their appliances look (they won't buy a dented one). Other buyers, low demanders, have a relatively more elastic demand, but also don't mind having a refrigerator with some dents. He pays $600 for each refrigerator from his supplier. 3/3 He has calculated that the high and low demander demand functions follows: Low: P = 1,000-0.5QL (QL = 2,000 - 2P) High: P = 1,600 - QH (QH = 1,600 – P) How much profit could Al earn if he sells them as is? How many should he add dents to (with a hammer) in order to maximize profit? What price would he then put on the non-dented and the dented refrigerators and how many would he sell of each? What would his profit then be?
