Suppose that you are currently charging $10 for your product and selling 10,000 items. Calculate your total revenue. If you increase your price to $11, you estimate that you will sell 8,000 units. Calculate your total revenue. Calculate the price elasticity of demand.
Problem 1: If the marketing department at Starbucks estimates the income elasticity of demand for its coffee to be 2.6, how will the prospect of an economic boom (expected to increase consumers' incomes by 6 percent over the next year) impact the quantity of coffee Starbucks expects to sell?(To answer this question, consider that the income elasticity of demand is simply the percentage change in quantity demanded that results from (i.e., divided by) a percentage change in income.)
