The current price of Gucci bags is $39 each and sales of the bags equal 400 per week. If the price elasticity of demand is -2.5 and the price changes to $48, how manyGucci bags will be sold per week? Use the midpoint formula.Suppose the current price of silver is $5 per pound and the quantity supplied is 200 pounds per day. If the price of silver falls to $4.5 per pound, the quantity supplieddrops to 180 pounds per day. Use the midpoint formula to calculate the price elasticity of supply for silver.According to an article, even elite resorts don't have advanced systems that can react quickly to demand changes, unlike airlines. Even if they could, many hotelierssay people don't respond that much to lower rates.
