If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate $30 thousand and each musical numbe $20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs $3000, and brings in $20,000 from the show's sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs $6000, and generates $12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and $600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.

1) Assume that the percentage change of the price of product A is 5% (%Px and the percentage change of quantity demanded is - 10% (%Δqd), Find the following, a) The price elasticity of demand b) Is the demand for this product elastic or inelastic? c) If the price of the product A increases, What happens to total revenue? (increases or decreases) d) if the price increases by 1% by how much quantity demanded will decrease (more than 1%, less than 1%, or by exactly by 1%) 2) Assume that the percentage increase in the price of product X ( %ΔPx) is 4% and the percentage change in quantity demanded in product Y ( %Δqd) is -5%, find the cross price elasticity (Eyx), are product X and Y substitutes or complements? 3) Assume that the percentage increase in income (%ΔI) is 4% and the percentage decrease in the quantity demanded (%Δq) is -6%, find income elasticity (EI), Is this product a normal or inferior product? 4) Is the elasticity for Corn flakes cereal is greater of less…
Earlier this year, 2021, the price of chicken meat rose unexpectedly reached to 250/ kilo at peak from the previous price of 170/ kilo. This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the = price hike period? Compute the price elasticity of demand. Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).
Congratulations! You have just landed your first job out of college as an economic analyst at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Your starting salary is $55,000 per year; an increase of 250% per year over the salary you made at the local coffee shop. The corresponding table gives the percentage change in your purchases of each good after your income increases. Use this information to estimate your income elasticity of demand for each of the items.
The market research department of the Better Baby Buggy Co. predicts that the demand equation for its buggies is given by q = −2.5p + 500 where q is the number of buggies it can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy. At what price (in dollars) should it sell the buggies to get the largest revenue? p = $
You are a manager in charge of monitoring cash flow at a major publisher. Paper books comprise 80 percent of your revenues, which grow about 2 percent annually. You recently received a preliminary report that suggests the growth rate in ebook reading has leveled off, and that the cross-price elasticity of demand between paper books and ebooks is −0.2. In 2019, your company earned about $150 million from sales of ebooks and about $600 million from sales of paper books. If your data analytics team estimates the own price elasticity of demand for paper books is −2.5, how will a 1 percent decrease in the price of paper books affect your overall revenues from both paper books and ebooks sales?

The government commissioned a research firm, Super Consulting, to conduct a study on the market demand for cigarettes in Malaysia. The firm reported that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20 percent, by how much should it increase the price? If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking after 1 year from now or 5 years from now? Explain Super Consulting also found that teenagers have higher price elasticity than adults. Why might this be true? Explain Outline and discuss the appropriate economic policies that can be implemented to reduce smoking.
The municipal corporations in most parishes in Jamaica have initiated a program to charge residents for garbage disposal based on the number of cans filled per week. The parish of Kingston decided to increase its per-can price from $500 to $750 per week. In the first week, it was found that the number of cans that were brought to the curb fell from 500 to 450 (although the workers complained that the cans were heavier). The chief economist ran the numbers, informed the mayor that the demand for disposal was inelastic, and recommended that the price be raised to maximize town revenue from the program. Four months later, at a price of $1000 per can, the number of cans has fallen to 125 and town revenues are down. What might have happened?
QUESTION 2 Eve notices that ordering through HotCups (a specialty coffee delivery service where price fluctuates with supply and demand) to her bank's office in the city normally costs $6 Monday to Friday (x1 rate). But on Saturday mornings, as there are many tired people who want to make the most of their weekend, the HotCups delivery costs up to $18 (x3 rate). Which of the following statements are true: A Ceteris paribus, there should be less HotCups delivery drivers around on a Saturday morning due to the increased prices according to the law of supply. Ceteris paribus, Eve is more likely to walk to a local cafe for coffee on a Saturday morning. H Ceteris paribus, a HotCups delivery driver's working hours (individual quantity supplied) should increase on a Saturday morning according to the law of supply. Ceteris paribus, a HotCups delivery driver will work more on a Tuesday morning rather than a Saturday morning because of the higher rates, according to the law of supply.
