Suppose a movie theater determines it can charge different prices to patrons who go to weekday matinees and people who attend evening and weekend shows. The movie theater's goal is to increase total revenue. See Hint The price elasticity of demand for weekend and evening patrons is -0.50, and the price elasticity of demand for matinee moviegoers is -2.80. Based on the price elasticity of demand for each group of people, how should the movie theater adjust its prices? Choose one: O A. Raise the price for matinee moviegoers, and keep the price the same for weekend and evening patrons. O B. Lower the price for matinee moviegoers, and raise the price for weekend and evening patrons. O C. Lower the price for matinee moviegoers, and keep the price the same for weekend and evening patrons. O D. Raise the price for matinee moviegoers, and lower the price for weekend and evening patrons.
500-QD where P is the price of oPad and QD is 10 the quantity of oPad. What is the price elasticity of demand when the price is $30? (Please keep 1 decimal place in your answer) Suppose the demand curve for oPad is P = 9
Describe in detail the determinants of price elasticity of demand. Why is a perfectly elastic demand curve horizontal? What does that mean? Why is a perfectly inelastic demand curve vertical? What does that mean? Suppose that a two percent decline in coffee leads to a one percent increase in quantity demanded, would that show demand to be elastic or inelastic?

George has been selling 7,000 T-shirts per month for $7.00. When he increased the price to $9.00, he sold only 6,000 T-shirts. Which of the following best approximates the price elasticity of demand? -0.6769 -0.6154 -0.3077 -0.5538 Suppose George's marginal cost is $4 per shirt. Before the price change, George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately . George's desired markup is . Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was than his desired margin, raising the price was
