Assume that a retailer sells 1000 six-packs of Pepsi per day at a price of $3.25/six-pack. You as an
economic analyst, estimate that the cross-price elasticity between Pepsi and Coca-Cola is 0.6. If the
retailer raises the price of Coca-Cola from $3.00 to $3.30/six-pack, how would sales of Pepsi be affected,
ceteris paribus?
Sales of Pepsi would not be affected at all
Sales of Pepsi would rise by 30 six-packs
Sales of Pepsi would rise by 60 six-packs

Discuss the FIVE (5) categories of price elasticity of demand and show how elasticity of demand concept can be used in setting prices for consumer goods
Maria has decided always to spend one-third of her income on clothing.
What is her income elasticity of clothing demand?
What is her price elasticity of clothing demand?
If Maria’s tastes change and she decides to spend only one-fourth of her income on clothing, how does her demand curve change? What is her income elasticity and price elasticity now?

- You sell two different goods: printers and toner cartridges. The price elasticity of demand for the printers is -3.4, and you earn a revenue of RM15,000 per month from the good. You earn a revenue of RM5,000 per month from the toner cartridges. The cross price elasticity of demand for both of the goods is 25. If you decide to decrease the price of the printers by 5%, calculate your new total revenues for both of the goods.arrow_forwardOnline the timing and tailoring of prices to specific products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And " Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online." Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 30 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $0.50 per click and boasts a conversation rate of 5 percent ( an average of 20 percent clicks are needed to generate sale), the incremental cost of each sale is $50. What price should you change for the product? What is the markup? B) . The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product cycle, and (2) number of competitors. In fact, " When the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm's elasticity of demand is expected to double ( you should be able to verify this…arrow_forwardIf the cross price elasticity of demand for grommets and widgets is negative, thenarrow_forward
