Suppose ChompaChicken gave you the following data on the market demand and supply for ChompaChicken Megaburgers at its franchise in Vosloorus: Price R8,0 0 R7,0 0 R6,5 0 R5,0 0 R4,5 0 R3,5 0 Quantity of burgers demanded per week 20 30 40 50 60 70 Quantity of burgers supplied per week 140 120 100 80 60 40 (a) Determine the price elasticity of demand over the price range R4,50 to R5,00. (b) The majority of the residents of Vosloosrus are working for the minimum wage, and that the minimum wage has gone up due to trade union negotiations. As a result, forty more Megaburgers per week are demanded at each price. Calculate the price elasticity of demand over the price range R4,50 to R5,00. (c) When you compare your answers from (a) and (b), what can you conclude about price elasticity of demand for the Megaburgers?

Please read attached article and then use it to answer the following questions. Do companies prefer to sell products that are more elastic or more inelastic? Briefly explain. What does the article describe as the best way to calculate price elasticity, and what other information is relevant to inform marketing efforts? Suppose a marketing company runs a market test and finds that the price elasticity equals -0.6. Would a company be more inclined to increase or to decrease price given this elasticity? Explain what would happen to quantity purchased (by how much it would change) and total revenue (would it increase, decrease, or stay the same) if the company were to decrease price by 10%.
