Walmart recently asked Mondelez, owner of Oreos to bring back a new-and-improved version of its 1990's cereal, Oreo O's. By studying social media comments, Walmart discovered a preference for cereal to address late-night snacking. What should Walmart measure during the initial 90-day relaunch, exclusive to its stores? At what level should it measure, and why?
The product that I'll choose in this example are cigarettes. The price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is -0.87, meaning that a 10% price increase would lead to an 8.7% decrease in quantity demanded. The availability of substitutes is a key factor driving the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes. There are many substitutes for cigarettes, such as e-cigarettes, nicotine patches, or even marijuana. When the price of cigarettes rises, consumers can choose to switch to these substitutes or quit smoking altogether. The availability of substitutes makes consumers more sensitive to price changes, leading to a relatively elastic demand for cigarettes. do you think the product would ever go on sale? Why or why not?
The cross price elasticity of demand captures the percent change in the (quantity demanded, price) of one good that results from a percent (quantity demanded, price) of a related good. change in the When the cross price elasticity of demand between two goods is positive, the goods must be (substitutes, complements). When the cross price elasticity of demand between two goods is negative, the goods must be (substitutes, complements).

A perfectly inelastic demand curve or supply curve means...Group of answer choices There is an infinite change in quantity demanded or supplied in response to a change in price. Correct Answer There is no change in quantity demanded or supplied in response to a change in price If the price of one good changes by 1% the % change in quantity demanded will be greater than 1%. There is a 1% change in quantity demanded in response to a 1% change in price.
