In her spare time, your colleague is selling hand-carved wooden boxes on Etsy. The boxes are currently priced at $30/box. Your colleague is not happy with their current revenue stream and asks for your advice. You estimate that demand for your colleague's hand-carved wooden boxes is: Q = 800 - 20P. If your colleague is looking to maximize revenue, how should they price their wooden boxes? Keep prices at $30/box Lower prices to $20/box Raise price to $40/box Lower price to $25/box

R.C. Willey's economists report that the quantity demanded for their microfiber sofas is given by the equation below. Px is their own price, C and D are other expensive good sold in the store with prices Pc and PD, M is income, and A is advertising expense. Qx=5009 What is the cross price elasticity of demand between X and D when Px =456, Pc=480, PD=579.8, M=40289, A=2644? (give me at least three decimal places) Answer: -6.7PX-4Pc+1.9Pp+0.021M+0.67A Check
Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And " Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online." Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 30 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $0.50 per click and boasts a conversation rate of 5 percent ( an average of 20 percent clicks are needed to generate sale), the incremental cost of each sale is $50. What price should you change for the product? What is the markup? B) . The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product cycle, and (2) number of competitors. In fact, " When the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm's elasticity of demand is expected to double ( you should be able to verify this…

Suppose the price elasticity of demand for cheerios is -0.88. If so, the demand for it is (Elastic, Inelastic or Unit-Elastic)? Assuming its price elasticity of demand changes to -0.21. Then the demand for it is (Elastic, Inelastic or Unit-elastic)?

Demand for Corn Flakes is: P = 14 - Q. Supply of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is: P = 2 + Q. Now a generic company enters the market, selling generic Corn Flakes for $4. Assume consumers are indifferent between generic and Kellogg's Corn Flakes. When the generic corn flakes enter the market, Kellogg's will sell how many less boxes of their own cereal?
You sell two different goods: printers and toner cartridges. The price elasticity of demand for the printers is -3.4, and you earn a revenue of RM15,000 per month from the good. You earn a revenue of RM5,000 per month from the toner cartridges. The cross price elasticity of demand for both of the goods is -2.5. If you decide to decrease the price of the printers by 5%, calculate your new total revenues for both of the goods. [Anda menjual dua barang berbeza: pencetak dan kartrij toner. Keanjalan harga permintaan untuk pencetak adalah -3.4, dan anda memperoleh jumlah hasil sebanyak RM15,000 sebulan memperoleh jumlah hasil RM5,000 sebulan untuk kartrij toner. Keanjalan permintaan silang bagi kedua-dua barang adalah -2.5. Sekiranya anda membuat keputusan untuk menurunkan harga pencetak sebanyak 5%, hitung jumlah hasil baharu anda untuk kedua-dua barang tersebut.] (c) untuk barang tersebut. Anda
What if a new restaurant entry increased consumer elasticity of demand for the sushi appetizer from 2 to 3? The price you charge initially was $10. By how much do you have to adjust the price? Will you still be able to make a profit? Show/explain step by step.
Suppose at the current price, the price elasticity of demand for a firm's product is ε = -1/2. Which of the following is true: A 2% change in the price would be expected to impact quantity demanded by 1% If the price of the product increases, quantity demanded will fall If the firm raises it's price, revenues will increase. All of the above
An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −3 to −4. Suppose the normal price is $18, which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of –3. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to –4? (Hint: In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?)
