On Tuesday, the price and quantity demanded are 7 and 120 units, respectively. Ten days later, the price and quantity demanded are 6 and 150 units, respectively. What is the price elasticity of demand between the 7 and 6 prices?
The Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfigh ter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopde cays sales declined by 1,500 units per month. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecays toothbrush and Decayfighters toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is 1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?
What does a price elasticity of demand of 0.39 mean?

Plot the price and quantity data given in the demand schedule of exercise 1. Put price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis. Indicate the price elasticity value at each quantity demanded. Explain why the elasticity value gets smaller as you move down the demand curve.
The Pear company sells a smart phone for $250. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units permonth over the last year. Recently, its closest competitor Banana company reduced the priceof its smart phone from $350 to $300. As a result, Pear’s sales declined by 1,500 units permonth.(a) What is the cross price elasticity of demand between the Pear and Banana smart phone?Use the averaging formula. What does this indicate about the relationship between the twoproducts?(b) If the Pear company knows that the price elasticity of demand for its phone is -1.5, whatprice would the Pear company have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did beforethe Banana company price cut? Assume that Banana company holds its price of its phoneconstant at $300. Use the averaging formula.
