Suppose that a 2% increase in income in the economy decreases the quantity of gadgets demanded by 1% ar every E,= Gadgets are possible price. Find the income elasticity of demand and dassify the product accordingly (state whether gadgets is a normal, necessity, luxury or an inferior product). 2. A firm finds that its price elasticity of demand is 4.0. Currently, the firm is selling 2000 units per month at $5 per unit. Price must be lowered by= If it wishes to increases its quantity sold by 10%, by how much it must lower its price? 1 Suppose legalization-and subseque nt regulation-of products Xand…
Suppose the demand for a product is given by D(p)=-8p+227. A) Calculate the elasticity of demand at a price of $18. Elasticity = (Round to three decimal places.) B) At what price do you have unit elasticity? (Round your answer to the nearest penny.) Price = $
Problem 4: Suppose that when the price of dishwashing liquid decreases from Php 230 to Php 185, quantity supplied decreases from 250 to 210 unit. Using the mid-point elasticity approach, calculate price elasticity of supply.
Vijay diary is selling flavored milk and buttermilk in packets of 150 ml. The diary sells 2000 packets of flavored milk and 1000 packets of buttermilk everyday. The former is priced at 6 and the latter at 4. A market survey estimates the cross price elasticity (both ways) to be +1.8, and the own price elasticity of flavored milk to be -1.3. The diary is contemplating a 10 percent reduction in the price of flavored milk. Should it go ahead with the price reduction? Could you graphically as well as mathmatically help providing the solution.

(b) Discuss the price elasticity of demand linking with each statement below. Please treat each statement separately. I am running a burger stall with the brand name of M Burger. In Malaysia, burger is a hot selling product and I have been in this business for almost 7 years now. As the market share is huge, there are many competitors in this area of business. Since there is a stiff competition, I will lose 50 percent of my customers if I raise the burger price by as small percentage as 10 percent.

I have no choice but to purchase the lecturer's preferred book.
2) Imagine that you have started a firm and own the patent for a new technology that allows for the 3D printing of food. This is a huge nutritional breakthrough since the printer can provide nutritional food for years. Since you are the first with this technology and have patented it, your firm is the only firm that can produce and sell this type of printer. There are no close substitutes for your printer and your data indicates weekly demand is given by the equation Qa = 9000 - 2P. a) Your production analysis indicates that your firm's cost function is C(Q) = F +Q². Illustrate the market, 2 showing the inverse demand curve, the MR curve and the MC curve. Then, compute and illustrate your firm's profit maximizing price and quantity of the printer. How low must the fixed cost be to ensure that the firm is making positive profits? Make sure to clearly label all relevant curves. Finally, what is the markup on the printer (measure markup in the following way: Price/MC)? b) Redraw the…

Suppose a firm produces two products, X and Y. The firm earns revenues from X equal to $70,000 and revenues from Y equal to $60,000. The own price elasticity of demand for Xis-1.5 and the cross-price elasticity of demand between X and Y is -0.80. If the firm decreases the price of product X by 1%, the change in total revenues will be $
What can cause the market supply curve for electric cars to shift rightward (an increase in supply)? An increase in consumers' incomes An advancement in technology that reduces the cost of making electric cars An increase in the price of steel -- an input to electric cars An increase in the price of electric cars
A1). The price, p, that a bookstore charges for a special gift edition of a popular trilogy is related to the demand, q, by the equation 100pq + q? = 5,000,000. Suppose the price is currently set at $40. (a). At what rate is the demand currently changing with respect to this price? (Include units) (b). At what rate is the revenue currently changing with respect to this price? (Hint: use the chain rule). (Include units). (c). Suppose the demand is currently increasing at a rate of 50 copies per month. How fast is the price currently changing per month? (again, assume the price is currently $40).Include units.
