One of the things the company would like to to know is how much a 5% increase in price is likely to reduce the firm’s sales. What could you require in order to advice?
Your firm’s research department has estimated the income elasticity of demand for non fed ground beef to be -1.94. You have just read in the Wall Street Journal that due to an upturn in the economy, consumer incomes are expected to rise by 10 percent over the next three years. As a manager of a meat-processing plant, how will this forecast affect your purchases of non fed cattle?
