Q. Wilpen Company, a price-setting firm, produces nearly 80 percent of all tennis balls purchased in the United States. Wilpen estimates the U.S. demand for its tennis balls by using the following linear specification: Q = a + bP + cM + dPR. Where Q is the number of cans of tennis balls sold quarterly, P is the wholesale price Wilpen charges for a can of tennis balls, M is the consumers’ average household income, and PR is the average price of tennis rackets. The regression results are as follows: a- Discuss the statistical significance of the parameter estimates a^, b^, c^, and d^ using the p-values. Are the signs of b^, c^, and d^ consistent with the theory of demand? Wilpen plans to charge a wholesale price of $1.65 per can. The average price of a tennis racket is $110, and consumers’ average household income is $24,600. b. What is the estimated number of cans of tennis balls demanded? c) At the values of P, M, and Pr given, what are the estimated values of the price (E^), income…
b) Price elasticity of demand: P₁ = $150, P₂ = $230, Q₁ = 4,000, Q₂ = 2,000. Use the midpoint formula for percent change and show all your work, then complete these sentences: ● %, When the price rose the Quantity demanded fell So demand is relatively The price elasticity of demand = %. (elastic or inelastic)
Price Elasticity of Demand, Midpoint Formula: E = percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ percentage change in price, in absolute value where, percentage change in quantity demanded = (Q2 − Q1) ÷ [(Q1 + Q2) ÷ 2] percentage change in price = (P2 − P1) ÷ [(P1 + P2) ÷ 2] Note that the denominator in each part uses the average quantity or the average price. Using the table, graph, and formula, compute E for a popcorn price increase from $0.15 to $0.20 per ounce. Instructions: Round your response to one decimal place. Q1 is20 and Q2 is 16
Assume that the price elasticity of demand is -2 for a certain firm's product. If the firm raises price, the firm's managers can expect total revenue to: decrease. increase. remain constant. either increase or remain constant, depending upon the size of the price increase. A price elasticity of zero corresponds to a demand curve that is: horizontal. downward sloping with a slope always equal to 1. vertical. either vertical or horizontal. As we move down along a linear demand curve, the price elasticity of demand becomes more: elastic. Inelastic. linear. variable.
Suppose that the demand curve for a product is given by = 100 – 2 Px+a Py, = £20 is the price of another product, and where a Py %3D where Px = £20, where = 8. a) Calculate the demand for good X in this market at the current price level. How much revenue would the firm make? b) If the firm wishes to increase total revenue, would it need to increase or decrease the current price of good X? c) Calculate the cross-price point elasticity between goods X and Y at the current price level. Are the goods complements or substitutes? Note: The writing is clear and abbreviations are not allowed.
Assume that the demand curve is a straight line. If the price per unit of a good rises from $6 to X1, it is expected that monthly demand will fall from X2 units to 1,000,000 units. Give your own appropriate X1 and X2. What is the point price elasticity of demand when the price is $6? What is the arc price elasticity of demand over these ranges of price and output? Is the demand for this good price sensitive?
The following table shows worldwide sales of a certain type of cell phone and their average selling prices in 2012 and 2013. Year 2012 2013 Selling Price ($) Sales (millions) 928 1,144 375 335 (a) Use the data to obtain a linear demand function for this type of cell phone. (Let p be the price, and let q be the demand). q(p): -5.4p + 3185 X Use your demand equation to predict sales if the price is lowered to $255. 1808 x million phones (b) Fill in the blank. For every $1 increase in price, sales of this type of cell phone decrease by 5.4 million units.
3) Consider the following demand equation: Demand: QD = 80 – 5 P a) Suppose there is a price increase from S6 to $8. Calculate the clasticity of demand along the portion of the demand curve between $6 and S8. b) Suppose there is a price increase from $8 to $9. Calculate the elasticity of demand along the portion of the demand curve between $8 and $9. With respect to this linear demand equation, is the elasticity of demand constant?
The extended demand function of good X is: QDX = 1400 20 PX - 10 PY + 0.1 M where: QDX = quantity demanded of good X PX Price of good X PY = Price of related good Y (related in consumption to good X) M = Average consumer income. Fix the following variables: PX = 50 M = 10,000 Assume: PY changes from $50 to $80 What is the cross-price elasticity of the demand of good X with respect to PY [Use the arc elasticity formula.] a. -0.69 b. C. d. -0.87 Based on your answer to the previous question, goods X and Y are: b. 0.69 a. inelastic C. 0.87 d. complements inferior substitutes
Using regression analysis on data from a field experiment, the demand curve for a product is estimated to be QXd = 1,200 − 3PX − 0.1PZ where Pz = $300.What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between good X and good Z when Px = $140? Are goods X and Z substitutes or complements? Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. Cross-price elasticity: Goods X and Z are:
QUESTION 4 In preparation for the new season, a local junior soccer club attempts to predict the number of children that will register to play soccer at different prices. The club believes that at a price of $162.83 per child, 90 children will register to play soccer. Additionally, at a price of $88.04 per child, it is believed that 130 children will register to play soccer. It cannot be assumed that the demand curve is linear. Calculate the midpoint price elasticity of demand for soccer registrations. Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places, giving a positive value for elasticity.
