The Physics Club sells E = mc2 T-shirts at the local flea market. Unfortunately, the club's previous administration has been losing money for years, so you decide to do an analysis of the sales. A quadratic regression based on old sales data reveals the following demand equation for the T-shirts. q = −2p2 + 30p (9 ≤ p ≤ 15) Here, p is the price the club charges per T-shirt, and q is the number it can sell each day at the flea market. (a) Obtain a formula for the price elasticity of demand for E = mc2 T-shirts. E = (b) Compute the elasticity of demand if the price is set at $9 per shirt. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Interpret the result. The demand for E = mc2 T-shirts is going down by about ____% per 1% increase in the price. (c) How much should the Physics Club charge for the T-shirts to obtain the maximum daily revenue? $ What will the revenue be? $
If we suppose that the weekly price of milk is $3.40 per gallon and MPEP changes the weekly advertising to $300, the best-fitting regression model to estimate the weekly quantity of milk consumed would be Q = 6.52 - 1.614 (3.40) + .005 (300) = 2.533 gallons of milk. What is the elasticity between $5 and $4? Should you lower or raise price to maximize revenue?
The demand function for good X is ln Qdx= a + b ln Px + c ln M + e, where Px is the price of good X and M is income. Least squares regression reveals that â = 7.42, b ˆ = −2.18, and ĉ = 0.34. a. If M = 55,000 and Px = 4.39, compute the own price elasticity of demand based on these estimates. Determine whether demand is elastic or inelastic. b. If M = 55,000 and Px = 4.39, compute the income elasticity of demand based on these estimates. Determine whether X is a normal or inferior good.
Your company, which specializes in running shoes for men who are growing increasingly follicly-challenged (BalderDash®), has the following demand function: Q = a + bP + cM + dR where Q is the quantity demanded of BalderDash's most popular shoes, Pis the price of that product, M is consumer income, and R is the price of a related product. The regression results are: Adjusted R Square 0.7796 Independent Variables Intercept P Coefficients Standard Error t Stat 21,055.04 1428.27 14.74 8.1E-16 -4.398 0.000 2.064 0.047 -1.556 0.129 Discuss whether you think these regression results will generate good sales estimates for Balder Dash. Now assume that the income is $69,100, the price of the related good is $39, and BalderDash chooses to set the price of its product at $54. b.

Other Companies (Part 2) You directed your research department to do some research on the demand for Tesla sedans. They selected BMW i3 Sedans and Chevy Bolts as comparative offerings. Using regression analysis, the research department comes up the following estimate for yearly demand. Qx = -40,000 -1*Px +0.02*M +2*PB +2*PC Where: Px = $70,000, M = $150,000, PB = $65,000, PC = $40,000 a. Is the own price elasticity of demand for Tesla sedans at the point defined above elastic or inelastic? If Mr. Musk decides to raise his prices, what will happen to his revenue. b. PB and PC represent the price for i3 sedans and Bolt sedans respectively. Are these items compliments or substitutes when compared to Teslas? Give evidence to support your answer. c. Is the demand for Tesla sedans elastic or inelastic to price changes of BMW i3 and Bolt at the price points given in the problem? Interpret the result you find and explain what it means.
Imagine that you work for the maker of a leading brand of low-calorie, frozen microwavable food that estimates the following demand equation for its product using data from 26 supermarkets around the country for the month of April. Note: The following is a regression equation. Standard errors are in parentheses for the demand for widgets. QD = - 5200 - 42P + 20PX + 5.2I + 0.20A + 0.25M (2.002) (17.5) (6.2) (2.5) (0.09) (0.21) R2 = 0.55 n = 26 F = 4.88 Your supervisor has asked you to compute the elasticities for each independent variable. Assume the following values for the independent variables: Q = Quantity demanded of 3-pack units P (in cents) = Price of the product = 500 cents per 3-pack unit PX (in cents) = Price of leading competitor's product = 600 cents per 3-pack unit I (in dollars) = Per capita income of the standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) in…
