Question 7 It is a rainy day in the village and we are selling Umbrellas. Here is the following data we have on demand. At a sale price of $10, demand is 130 Umbrellas. At a sale price of $12, demand is 110 Umbrellas. (a) Using the percentage method and $10 as your base value, what is the price elasticity of demand for Umbrellas? (b) At a price of $8, by how many dollars would revenue fall by? (c) Would it increase revenue to raise your price to $16?
If the demand, q, is q=1.5. (200-p)², (a) What is the elasticity E in terms of p? (b) if the price, p = 180, what should happen to the price to increase revenue?

John, a restaurant consulting firm estimates that in Accra a 10% reduction in the price of roasted groundnut will increase kelewele demand by 20%. The restaurant further estimates that a 10% reduction in price of roasted plantain will decrease kelewele by 15%. (a) What is the implied cross price elasticity of kelewele with respect to changes in the price of roasted groundnut. (a) What is the implied cross price elasticity of kelewele with respect to changes in the price of roasted plantain.
Suppose that the price per unit p as a function of the demanda is p = 478.8 -0.9x. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when x = 132. n = -2.44, therefore the demand is elastic (b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when x = 425. n = -0.202 therefore the demand is inelastic (c) Find the demand that gives unit elasticity. x = 266.0 ✓

Price (dollars) 8 7 D. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 Quantity (units per year) In the figure above, when the price falls from $8 to $7, total revenue A) decreases from $210 to $120 so demand is inelastic. B) increases from $120 to $210 so demand is inelastic. C) decreases from $210 to $120 so demand is elastic. D) increases from $120 to $210 so demand is elastic. 6
(a) Consider a firm that is particularly interested in estimates of elasticities. It discovers that its cross-price elasticity of demand between good A, which it sells and good B, which another firm sells is +5.3. Its price elasticity of demand for good A is estimated as -2.5 and its income elasticity of demand is +2.5, while the price elasticity of supply is +0.3. Comment on the implication of these figures for the firm. Discuss the information that this provides to the firm and how it can use this to develop its product, pricing and overall strategy.
