- In a small town, there are two bakeries that produce similar types of bread. Bakery A has been in business for several decades and has a loyal customer base. Bakery B is a new entrant in the market, offering similar quality but at slightly lower prices. As a result, some customers have started shifting their purchases to Bakery B. Question:How does the concept of price elasticity of demand apply to the situation between Bakery A and Bakery B, and what factors might influence consumers' decisions to switch their bread purchases?In 4-6 sentences, discuss how understanding the concept of price elasticity of demand is useful for a business owner/firm operating in any market structure.

How can they use that information to their benefit? Discuss the types of elasticity?)Demand for Corn Flakes is: P = 24- Q. Supply of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is: P = 2+ Q.

- You would like to control the total consumption of soft drink up to 100 bottles per year. The current two brands you drink are Pepsi and Coke. The current demand, price, elasticity, and minimum demand for Pepsi and Coke are given in below. In addition, you would like to keep equal or more demand from Pepsi due to brand loyalty. Assuming linear demand curves, what are the best price for Pepsi and Coke that can minimize your total payment? Elasticity Current price Demand Minimum demand Keep Pepsi income > = 60% of total payment Pepsi 2 2 300 20 Coke 1 3.5 220 25Ammongas has two types of customers: Farmers and utilities. The two groups have the following demand conditions: Farmers P = 5,000,000 - 140,000 * Q farmers Utilities P = 6,000,000 - 180,000 * Q utilities where Q is the number of plants sold and P is the price. Make a brief analysis of the demand of the two customer groups.How understanding the concept of price elasticity of demand is useful for a business owner/firm operating in any market structure
- Consider a company, StarBreads, that sells bread in a competitive market. The price of bread is currently $3 per loaf, and StarBreads is selling 1000 loaves per day. The company decides to increase the price to $4 per loaf, and as a result, daily sales drop to 800 loaves. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for StarBreads' loaves using the midpoint method.In the market for alcoholic beverages, a business called Drive-thru Bottle Shop offers a variety of different bottled wines to their customers. They stock many brands, some being very well-known, with others less well known. Answer the following questions:a. If a wine has significant brand recognition and customer loyalty, then the point price elasticity of demand at a given price for this wine would elastic than the point price elasticity be of demand of a similar wine where the wine maker has little brand recognition and customer loyal, ceteris paribus. Type L for Less, M for More or E for Equally. b. The demand for a particular wine sees customers purchase 6,000 bottles of wine when the price is $7.99 per bottle, and only 5,000 bottles when the price was increased to $8.49 by the Drive-thru Bottle Shop management.

Assume the Drive-thru Bottle Shop is trying to maximise…Noticing that profits on college text books are very high, the Beast Book Store (BBS), with the help of a venture capitalist, has gone into text book publishing. In its current production range its average total cost is approximately equal to its marginal cost which it estimates to be about $25. It has estimated that price elasticity of demand for its books at current price levels to be about -1.5. The manager of BBS uses mark-up pricing to price the books that it sells using a 150% mark-up (even with this mark-up BBS can still underprice most other book publishers). Assuming that BBS wants to maximize short-term profits on its book sales and initially enjoys a monopoly in the local college textbook production market, is this a good pricing procedure? Harvard and other local colleges soon start publishing companies of their own increasing competition and causing the price elasticity of demand for BBS books to increase to -2.0. Assuming that BBS’s demand curve that generates this -2.0…

Since meth is highly addictive the demand is very inelastic. Supply is more elastic than demand. Label the equilibrium price and quantity, P* and Q*, respectively. Now imagine that the Wyoming police manages to discover, raid and shut down a big meth producing lab. Add a new curve to your market diagram to show what happens as a result of this successful police work. Also comment on what is bigger: the change in price or the change in quantity ; and why that is the case We saw in our lectures that legalizing cocaine would likely drop the street price of cocaine by an estimated 95%. Assuming the street price of meth would drop equally if legalized, what percentage change in quantity demanded of meth would we expect if the price elasticity of demand of meth is - 0.1?
