1. The demand function for a certain brand of CD is given by p = -0.01x² - 0.2x + 10 where p is the unit price in dollars and x is the quantity demanded each week, measured in units of a thousand. The supply function is given by p = 0.01x² + 0.2x + 4 where p is the unit price in dollars and x stands for the quantity that will be made available in the market by the supplier, measured in units of a thousand. Determine the producers' surplus if the market price is set at the equilibrium price. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
. UT Sports, a store that sells various types of sports clothing and other sports items, is planning to introduce a new design of World Cup Kits. A consultant has estimated the demand curve to be Q= 8400 – 420 P Where Q is cap sales and P is price. How many KITs could UT sell at $25.2 each? How much would the price have to be to sell 7,560 KITs? Suppose UT were to use the KITs as a promotion. How many KITs could UT give away free? At what price would no KITs be sold? Calculate the point price elasticity of demand at a price of $ 25.2.

5. Suppose that an increase in the price of almonds from $1.82 to $1.94 per pound raises the amount of almonds that almond farmers produce from 2.46 billion pounds to 2.67 billion pounds. Using the midpoint method, what is the coefficient of price elasticity of supply? less than 0.78 more than 0.78 but less than 0.96 more than 0.96 but less than 1.14 more than 1.14 but less than 1.32 Е. more than 1.32 ABCDE
24. The seafood restaurant you manage has daily specials. You have observed that the fresh salmon is overstocked and you want to increase salmon sales by 30%. You know the price elasticity of demand for salmon is -1.2. How much (and in what direction) should you change salmon prices to increase sales by 30%? Will this increase or decrease total salmon revenue? How do you know? You also know that fresh salmon and fresh tuna have a cross price elasticity of +.5. With the percentage decrease in salmon prices calculated above, how much more/less fresh tuna will you sell? Are salmon and tuna complements or substitutes at your restaurant?

ONLY ANSWER QUESTION #2 1. Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific models of products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And “Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online.”Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 28 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? 2. The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors. In fact, “when the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm’s elasticity of demand is expected to double (and you should be able to verify…
