You are an economist. Your friend started a new business selling masks. She asked for your help in making some important decisions. From the data obtained from her, you computed the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) of Masks, and found absolute PED in February was 1.86, and since then the absolute PED of Masks declined by 55% in June. (a) Based on the PED of June, you would advise your friend for an increase/decrease/unchanged in the price - (b) The market price of the mask in July was Tk20 per unit. The total revenue earned in July was Tk300. You received the data for August and observed that the price now in August is Tk28 per unit and the quantity of masks sold in August is 12 units. Calculate the absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for masks from July to August.

Hanna Corporation markets a compact microwave oven. In 2010 they sold 23,000 units at $375 each. Per capita disposable income in 2010 was $6,750. Hanna economists have determined that the arc price elasticity for this microwave oven is −1.2. Which the following statement is wrong? 1. A price decrease in 2011 will help company revenue growth 2. If all other things remain equal, sales volume for 2011 are 27,312 if price is reduced to 325. 3. Assume that arc income elasticity for microwave ovens is 2.5 and price and income effects are independent and additive. Given that the price is reduced to $325, and that per capita disposable income increases to $7,000, sales volume for 2011 will be 29,032. 4. A price increase in 2011 will help company revenue growth.
Suppose that the price of a good changes from 10 dollars to 20 dollars while the quantity demanded changes from 200 units to 125 units. Therefore, the arc price elasticity of demand is: OA -0375. OB -0.692 OC 0012 OD -1200,
The estimated monthly sales of Mona Lisa paint-by-number sets is given by the formula q = 97e° -3p²/2, where q is the demand in monthly sales and p is the retail price in hundreds of yen. (a) Determine the price elasticity of demand E when the retail price is set at ¥ 400. E = X Interpret your answer. The demand is going down ✔✔✔ by X% per 1% increase in price at that price level. Thus, large price decrease ✓ (b) At what price will revenue be a maximum? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) X yen (c) Approximately how many paint-by-number sets will be sold per month at the price in part (b)? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) paint-by-number sets per month is advised.
THE CONSUMER SURPLUS?
A project requires signing buying 500 cubic yards of concrete per week for the next year from the only local provider. The currently price is $100 per yard and the provider sells 5,000 yards per week. Assuming marginal cost is constant, elasticity of demand at the current price is -1.5, and using a linear demand approximation, estimate the opportunity cost of the weekly government purchase. The METB is 0.2. Note you will need to find the original demand, the new demand, the new price, and the new quantity purchased by those other than the government in the process.
Question 10OXAGON is an industrial city that will be built in NEOM. One of the factories interested to join there has been producing a dependable product used by farmers, municipalities, and suburbanites alike to control grass in fields and gardens. Contributions to NEOM revenue have been minimized by international dumping of generic glyphosate, as announced in mid-2021 due to Pandemic of COVID-19. The factory sales price was decreased from $4,072 to $60,308 per gallon to compete with the highly competitive pricing, and it is expected that the international price will be around $6,968 per gallon. Assume when the price was set at $4,072 per gallon, there was a prediction that in 5 years the price would inflate to $9,853 per gallon. Determine the interest adjusted rate for inflation, if the inflation is 11% and the interest is 3% per year real return is expected by the factory_____
