Plotted through point E are two demand curves; one is relatively elastic, and the other is relatively inelastic. Each demand curve also has its own marginal revenue (MR) curve. Merge these curves into a kinked demand curve by moving the curves' endpoints to remove the unwanted sections of the curves. Then, adjust the marginal revenue curves to properly accompany the new kinked demand curve. 500 450 400 350 300 250 Demand 1 200 150 100 MR I 50 MR 2 Demand 2 4 6 8. 10 12 14 16 18 20 Ouantity Price ($)

Explain classification of linear supply functions by types of elasticities.
Suppose that over a range of prices, the price elasticity of demand varies from 15.0 to 2.5. Over another range of prices, the price elasticity of demand varies from 1.5 to 0.75. What can you say about total revenues and the total revenue curve over these two ranges of the demand curve as price falls?
Q 2. i) How can we differentiate Elastic and Inelastic Price Elasticity of Demand? ii) Calculate Total Revenue (TR), Marginal Revenue (MR) and Average Revenue (AR) for the following set of data. Quantity Price Total Marginal Revenue Revenue 80 1 76 2 72 3 68 4 64 5 60 6 56 7 52 8 48 44 If price increases what will be the effect on Total Revenue (TR) in case of a) Elastic, b) Inelastic & c) Unitary Elastic Price Elasticity of Demand?
Calculate the elasticity of demand, if the demand function is Q= 160 - 2p + 8Y, at the point where p= 12 and Q= 20. The elasticity of demand is e= (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place and include a Calculate the elasticity of demand, if the demand function is Q=20p The elasticity of demand is e= (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place and include a
You are working trying to estimate the proper price to charge a market for the firm that sells beer in Lancaster Pennsylvania. They estimated that the demand curve for the market is Quantity demanded=20-2P. The firm currently prices the good at 8 dollars. They want to move the price to 6 dollars in a attempt to increase profits. 1) What is the elasticity for this move in price (Use the midpoint method for elasticity) make sure you show your work? 2) Now you are contacted by a different branch of this company that is in a lower priced (Scranton P.A.) market with the same demand curve. They want to move the price from 2 to 5 dollars. What is the elasticity of this change (Use the midpoint method)? 3) Now suppose you find out that there is a similar product that impacts the Quantity demanded for a product. The relationship is Qd=15+Pb. Now suppose the price (Pb) of the other good is 5 and goes to 6. What is the Cross-price elasticity of the good?
Star wars coffee mugs are traded in a competitive world market with a price of R180 per cup. Unlimited quantities are available for import into South Africa at this price. On average 10 000 kg are traded each month. The elasticity of demand has been estimated at -0.81 and elasticity of supply at 3.51. Derive the demand equation for the star wars coffee mug. . . A. Qd = 12 800 - 45P B. Qd = 15 200 - 35P C. Qd = 18 100 - 45P D. Qd = 20 000 - 50P Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism.

Baylor Lumber sold 10 ft. long corral gates at $299 per gate last month. They sold 20 gates. This month they raised the price to $349 per gate and sales dropped to 12 gates. What is the own-price elasticity of demand for 10 ft. corral gates at Baylor Lumber using the mid-pointformula? What does this say about the demand for corral gates?

If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Triple Sevens rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is from rooms per night to , meaning that hotel rooms at the Triple Sevens are If the price of an airline ticket from LAX to LAS were to increase by 20%, from $250 to $300 roundtrip, while all other demand factors…

For convenience, the total revenue is givenby TR= (40−1/2Q)Q, and the inverse demand function is given by p= 40−1/2Q. a) Find when total revenue is maximized. b) Choose any quantity less than when when total revenue is maximized. Calculate the elasticityof demand. Does this point exhibit elastic or inelastic demand? c) Choose any quantity greater than when total revenue is maximized. Calculate the elasticityof demand. Does this point exhibit elastic or inelastic demand? d) What is the elasticity of demand when total revenue is maximized?
