ELASTICITY EXERCISE Name _____________________________11) Due ____________ Please show work in detail. All questions utilize the multivariate demand function for Smooth Sailing sailboats in C6 on text page 83. Compute to three decimal places. Initial values are: PX = $9500 PY = $10000 I = $15000 A = $170000 W = 160 This function is: Qs = 89830 -40PS +20PX +15PY +2I +.001A +10W 1.(a) Use the above to calculate the arc price elasticity of demand between PS = $8000 decreasing to PS = $7000. The arc elasticity formula is: (b). Judging from the computation in (a), do you expect the revenue resulting from the decrease in price from $8000 to $7000 to increase, remain the same or decrease. (Hint: see the table on page 65 of Truett). Explain your choice. 2.(a). Calculate the point elasticity of demand for Smooth Sailing sailboats at PS = $8000 (which should make Qs = 141600). The formula is: 2.(b). Does this elasticity value indicate that…

The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?

Creative Homework/Short Project Assume that you arean entrepreneur who runs a bakery that sells glutenfree breads and cakes. You believe that the currenteconomic conditions merit an increase in the price ofyour baked goods. You are concerned. however, thatincreasing the price might not be profitable becauseyou are unsure of the price elasticity of demand for yourproducts. Develop a plan for the measurement of priceelasticity of demand for your products. What findingswould lead you to increase the price? What findingswould cause you to rethink the decision to increaseprices? Develop a presentation for your class outlining(I) the concept of elasticity of demand, (2) why raisingprices without undetstanding the elasticity would bea bad move.
