Question 1 Consider AF from our previous Comprehension Assessment. It was among a handful of firms, engaged in a monopolistically competitive market. Let's assume that the ad elasticity of the demand facing AF is 0.3. Also, assume that that the price elasticity of the demand facing AF is -1.4. How much should AF invest in advertisement per one dollar of sale? About 15 cents About 17 cents About 19 cents About 21 cents Question 2 All else being constant the price elasticity of the demand facing AF increases (in its absolute value). It goes from -1.4 to -1.6. The optimal amount of ad investments, per dollar of sale, would then: increase by 25% increase by 12.5% ○ decline by 12.5% decline by 25%
