Mr. Jones sells scrapbooking materials. He charges $20 per album and sells 120 albums month at this price. He plans to decrease the price to generate more sales. A survey indicated that for every $0.50 decrease in price, he can expect to sell 5 more albums.
Write the expressions for the price of an album and the number of albums sold in one month
Write an equation for the revenue using your expressions from part a.
What price will generate the maximum revenue?
What is the maximum revenue he can generate in one month?
In your country, the demand curve of a litre of petrol is given by: P = 107 - 5QD.
Due to political unrest coupled with the slow recovery from pandemic, the global price of petrol surged which led to an increase of price per litre of petrol in your country from TK55 to TK80.
After the price rise, the employees of the company you work for demanded a pay-raise. Your employer, hence, increased your income from 31033 taka to 46187 taka. The new demand curve at the new income level is P = 132 - 5QD.
A). Calculate the income elasticity of demand (YED).
B) Now assume that the increase in income (and the subsequent shift of the demand curve) had occured before the rise in price, then what would the YED be?
Apple, the consumer electronics giant, on Tuesday rolled out new versions of its popular iPod music player. CEO Steve Jobs also unveiled cheaper models of its Touch music player, a touchscreen-only device. An 8-gigabyte version now costs $229, down from $299. A 32-gigabyte model costs $399, down from $499. Suppose when the price of an iPod decreases by 20 percent, the number of songs downloaded on iTunes increases by 30 percent. Based on this information iTunes are
A. a normal good.
B. an inferior good.
C. substitutes for iPods.
D. complements to iPods.

- 5. 24.A large Coca-Cola vendor recently hired some economic analysts to assess the effect of a price increase in its 16-ounce bottles from $1.00 to $2.00. The analysts determined that, on average, the vendor's customers spend about $15.00 on soda (Coke and all other brands) each week, and the average price for other 16- ounce soda bottles is $1.00. The analysts also utilized some focus groups to determine the preferences of the vendor's customers. They used this analysis to build the following graph: Bottles of Budget line with price of $1.00 Other Soda Budget line with price of $2.00 Bottles of Coke Suppose Xo = 9 and X1 = 7. Should the vendor expect to sell 7, more than 7, or less than 7 bottles of Coke after raising the price to $2.00 if Coke is a normal good?arrow_forwardYour firm, Content Colleague, is similar to Happy Worker, a Canadian company that designs and manufactures toys and collectibles.

This 68% increase of price per kilo was primarily caused by excess demand for chicken meat. This is the result of the decrease in consumption for pork meat due to the threat of African Swine Flu (ASF). However, even though consumer shifted preferences, the increase in the price of chicken was perceived to be too high for the budget of consumers. Therefore, sellers realized decrease in their daily aggregate sales from 1,000 kilos to 700 kilos. 1. Illustrate the change in the market equilibrium through a graph. 2. What presumably happened to the total revenues of the sellers during the price hike period? a.) Compute the price elasticity of demand b.) Derive the total revenue before the hike (TR1), and after the hike (TR2).arrow_forward

You will consider the utility of seeing performance over 1 month, and suppose that at a regular price of $$$ per ticket (my assigned ticket price is 145), customers will see no performance, however with the price reduced by $5, customers will see one performance per month and when reduced by $10, customers will see two performances. As long as the number performances, x, is small, your demand function for performance can be modeled by p=D(x).
