13. The table below gives part of the supply schedule for personal computers in the United States. Price Quantity Supplied before tech change Quantity Supplied after tech $1,100 $900 12,000 8,000 change 13,000 9,000 a) Calculate the price elasticity of supply when price rises from $900 to $1,100 using the arc elasticity formula (the midpoint method). b) Now suppose that technology changes such that at every price, 1000 more computers are supplied. Now, as prices rise from $900 to $1,100, is the elasticity of supply smaller than, larger than, or equal to the elasticity in part a)? c) Does the change in b) change the slope of the supply curve? Are slope and elasticity the same thing? Explain.
The following graph shows the daily demand curve for bikes in Montreal. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph.

Question 2 Bowleg flips houses. He advertises to sell houses at $40000 per house. He sells 500 houses. He raises the price to $60000 and sells 400 houses. What is the elasticity of demand?
The data in the table shows the price and quantity supplied for exercise balls. Using the Midpoint Method, what is the price elasticity of supply from point C to point D? Note: Remember to take the absolute value of the result and round to the nearest hundredth. If using a calculator, rounding should be done at the end of your calculation. Provide your answer below: Point Price $30 A B C D E $32 834 $3 $38 Quantity 10,000 10, 100 10,200 10,300 10,040
Snooki, a new marketing intern, was a little scatterbrained during the first meeting with her manager, when she made four statements about pricing. Which one of her four statements about pricing was correct? a. A product with an elastic demand is likely to face little competition. b. An EDLP retailer offers many price promotions. c. A product with an elasticity of demand of -0.7 will enjoy increases in revenue when prices are cut. d. Cost-plus pricing is not the perfect pricing strategy because the pricing method ignores customers’ willingness to pay and competitors’ pricing strategy.
Q.suppose the quantity of stocks purchase by jones family is110 pounds per year when price is $2.10 per pound and90pound per year when price is $3.90 per pounds.calculate the coefficient of elasticity for jones family.
A. Using the mid point equation, calculate the price elasticity of demand for the market demand curve for a change from the equilibrium price of $4.00( show the equation and all calculations) is the demand curve elastic or I elastic for this price change? What would happen to the total market revenue if the price changed to $4.00 b. If a new firm(competitor) enters this market so that 6adsitional units are supplied at each price above $0, what would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity and the total market revenue of the market. Add a new market supply curve to your original graph and indicate the new equilibrium price and quantity on the appropriate axes.
1. Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific models of 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 28 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 $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? 2. The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors. In fact, “when the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm’s elasticity of demand is expected to double (and you should be able to verify this through…
5) Calculate the arc price elasticity of demand for wheat in the two situations below: Farmer Brown's Wheat Old price; $3.40/bu Old quantity; 28,000 bu The Wheat Market Old price; $3.40/bu Old quantity; 2.5 billion bu New price; $3.20/bu New price; $3.20/bu New quantity; 2.525 billion bu New quantity; 35,000 bu Can you account for the difference in elasticities?
Suppose the accompanying table contains data on how many Veggie Delite sandwiches Subway is willing to sell each day at two different prices. Calculate the daily price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $5.00 to $7.50. Please round to the nearest hundredth. Price(per sandwich) Quantity supplied(sandwiches per day) $5.00 200,000 $7.50 210,000 a. Daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches = b. The daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is relatively Elastic or Inelastic Now consider how responsive Subway’s supply of Veggie Delite sandwiches is to changes in price on an annual basis instead of a daily basis. c. Compared to the daily value, the annual price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is likely to be more Inelastic or Elastic and the annual supply curve is likely Flatter or Steeper to be than the daily supply curve.
