3) The marketing research department of a large manufacturing company has determined that the demand equations for two major items it produces are given by p = 2,000 -5x + 8y andq = 4,000 +9x-7y where p is the price of item A, q is the price of item B, x is the monthly demand for item A, and y is the monthly demand for item B. Find the total monthly revenue from items A and B whenx = 15 and y =5.
Suppose that corn currently costs $4 per bushel and that wheat currently costs $3 per bushel. Also assume that the price elasticity of corn is 0.10, while the price elasticity of wheat is 0.15. For the following questions about elasticities, simply use the percentage changes that are provided rather than attempting to calculate those percentage changes yourself using the midpoint formula. a. If the price of corn fell by 25 percent to $3 per bushel, by would the quantity demanded of corn increase? What if the price of corn fell by 50 percent to $2 per bushel? b. To what value would the price of wheat have to fall to induce consumers to increase their purchases of wheat by 5 percent? c. If the government imposes a $0.40 per bushel tax on corn so that the price of corn rises by 10 percent to $4.40 per bushel, by what percentage would the quantity demanded of corn decrease? If the initial quantity demanded is 10 billion bushels per year, by how many bushels would the quantity demanded…
Scenario: The market demand for soccer balls in a small town is 2,500 units. There are two rival sports brands selling soccer balls - "Sporty" and "Go!". The products of the two brands are identical. The quantity demanded for Sporty's soccer balls is 2,500 units if the price charged by Sporty is higher than the price charged by Go! the price charged by Sporty is equal to the price charged by Go! O the price charged by Go! is higher than the unit cost of producing a ball O the price charged by Go! is higher than the price charged by Sporty
. UT Sports, a store that sells various types of sports clothing and other sports items, is planning to introduce a new design of World Cup Kits. A consultant has estimated the demand curve to be Q= 8400 – 420 P Where Q is cap sales and P is price. How many KITs could UT sell at $25.2 each? How much would the price have to be to sell 7,560 KITs? Suppose UT were to use the KITs as a promotion. How many KITs could UT give away free? At what price would no KITs be sold? Calculate the point price elasticity of demand at a price of $ 25.2.
The following graph plots the demand curve (blue line) for several consumers in the market for VR headsets in Mead, a small town located in Colorado. The Mead market price of a VR headset is given by the horizontal black line at $180. Each rectangle you can place on the following graph corresponds to a particular buyer in this market: orange (square symbols) for Jacques, green (triangle symbols) for Kyoko, purple (diamond symbols) for Musashi, tan (dash symbols) for Rina, and blue (circle symbols) for Sean. Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing consumer surplus for each person who is willing and able to purchase a VR headset at a market price of $180. (Note: If a person will not purchase a VR headset at the market price, indicate this by leaving his or her rectangle in its original position on the palette.)

Question 2 Price elasticity of demand and the illegal market for meth in Wyoming Draw the (illegal) market for meth in Wyoming. Since meth is highly addictive the demand is very inelastic. Supply is more elastic than demand. Label the equilibrium price and quantity, P* and Q*, respectively. Now imagine that the Wyoming police manages to discover, raid and shut down a big meth producing lab. Add a new curve to your market diagram to show what happens as a result of this successful police work. Also comment on what is bigger: the change in price or the change in quantity ; and why that is the case We saw in our lectures that legalizing cocaine would likely drop the street price of cocaine by an estimated 95%. Assuming the street price of meth would drop equally if legalized, what percentage change in quantity demanded of meth would we expect if the price elasticity of demand of meth is - 0.1?
You own a hot dog stand that you set up outside the student union every day at lunch time. Currently, you are selling hot dogs for a price of $3, and you sell 30 hot dogs a day (point A on the diagram). You are considering cutting the price to $2. The graph shows two possible increases in the quantity sold as a result of your price cut. Use the information in the graph (new quantities are given on the horizontal axis) to calculate the price elasticity between these two prices on each of the demand curves. Use the midpoint formula to calculate the price elasticities. A On the demand curve containing the points "A" and "B", the price elasticity of demand for a price cut from $3 to $2 is|. (Hint: Include the negative sign and enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
