Your company receives 40 excess copies of a book. You plan to sell these books in two markets: directly in the store or sell them on ebay. Here are the two demand equations: Store Demand: P_S = 200 – 2Q_S PS=200–2QS Ebay Demand: P_E = 250 – 5Q_E PE=250–5QE If your goal is to maximize total revenue, how many books will you sell on ebay?
Suppose the demand curve for oPad is P =
500-QD
10
where P is the price of oPad and QD is the quantity of
oPad. What is the price elasticity of demand when the price is $30? (Please keep 1 decimal place in your
answer)

- Imagine you work as an economist for a particular airline (A). Your job entails estimating the passenger demand for airline travel provided by A. Accordingly, you estimate the following: Price elasticity of demand for A’s service = 3 Cross elasticity of demand for A’s service (with respect to airline B’s price) = 2 Income elasticity of demand for A’s service = 1 Making sure to show all of your work, if consumer income falls by 5% (due to a recession), and at the same time airline B lowers its price by 10%, all else equal, what would you specifically recommend A due to its price to maintain its quantity of passengers (i.e., lower or raise its price and by what percent)? Hint: Elasticities are ratios of percentage changes.arrow_forwardFor theater tickets, the demand curve for students is QS=100−4PQS=100−4P and for the general public is QGP=200−4PQGP=200−4P.

- What are some products with inelastic prices that we haven't thought of? And why does that product have that sort of demand? Are there no substitutes or has a business just figured out how to reduce competition?arrow_forwardYou are the curator of a museum. The museum is running short of funds, so you decide to increase revenue. Should you increase or decrease the price of admission? Explainarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the price elasticity of demand is correct? The elasticity of demand for a good in general is equal to the elasticity of demand for a specific brand of the good. The absolute value of the elasticity of demand ranges from zero to one. Demand is more elastic in the long run than it is in the short run. Demand is more elastic the smaller percentage of the consumer's budget the item takes up.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is the best example of the concept of demand? Your car breaks down and you consider how to deal with the fact that you no longer have transportation Since you cannot get to school today, you are considering skipping class You are thinking about getting a new car, and really like the new Ford Bronco. You really like the new Ford Bronco, but don't have the $45,000 to buy one, so instead, you decide to get a used SUV that costs $15,000. None of the above is a good example of demand.arrow_forwardJim's Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon. The demands and selling prices for these two cameras are as follows. Ds = demand for the Sky Eagle P = selling price of the Sky Eagle DH = demand for the Horizon PH = selling price of the Horizon Revenue Ds = 227 -0.60Ps + 0.35PH DH=275 +0.10P - 0.64PH The store wishes to determine the selling price that maximizes revenue for these two products. Develop the revenue function R (in terms of P and P only) for these two models, and find the prices (in dollars) that maximizes revenue. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

- Consider the supplier of a product that is an inferior good. For instance, an aluminum supplier for a canned goods producer. During a recession during which average incomes fall, which of the following best describes what would happen to the profit-maximizing price of the supplier? a. The supplier’s profit-maximizing price would decrease due to an increase in demand. b. The supplier’s profit-maximizing price would increase due to an increase in demand. c. The supplier’s profit-maximizing price would decrease due to a reduction in demand. d. The supplier’s profit-maximizing price would increase due to a reduction in demand.arrow_forwardA dog rescue operation finds when it sets its adoption fee at $140 in a month, 200 dogs are adopted, but when they drop the price to $60, 300 dogs are adopted.
