You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $70,000 per year from product Y. The
own price elasticity of demand for product X is -1.5, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is 1.6.
How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 1 percent?
Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest dollar. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to use a (-) sign.

The number of times per year that she plays depends on both the price of playing a round of golf as well as Ariya's income and the cost of other types of entertainment-in particular, how much it costs to go see a movie instead of playing golf. The three demand schedules in the table below show how many rounds of golf per year Ariya will demand at each price under three different scenarios. In scenario D1, Ariya's income is $80,0o00 per year and movies cost $15 each. In scenario D2, Ariya's income is also $80,000 per year, but the price of seeing a movie rises to $17.

- Lorena likes to play golf. The number of times per year that she plays depends on both the price of playing a round of golf as well as Lorena’s income and the cost of other types of entertainment—in particular, how much it costs to go see a movie instead of playing golf. The three demand schedules in the table below show how many rounds of golf per year Lorena will demand at each price under three different scenarios. In scenario D1, Lorena’s income is $50,000 per year and movies cost $9 each. In scenario D2, Lorena’s income is also $50,000 per year, but the price of seeing a movie rises to $11. And in scenario D3, Lorena’s income goes up to $70,000 per year, while movies cost $11. a. Using the data under D1 and D2, calculate the cross-elasticity of Lorena’s demand for golf at all three prices. (To do this, apply the midpoints approach to the cross-elasticity of demand.)

Currently, you sell 21 coffee makers per month, but you would like to increase this to 55. Knowing that coffee makers and coffee beans are complements, you have decided to stimulate demand for coffee makers by decreasing the price of coffee beans. Given that you achieved your sales target for coffee makers by reducing the price of coffee beans from $1.10 to $0.89, what is the cross-price elasticity of demand between the two goods? Use the midpoint method, and round all intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places if necessary.arrow_forwardConsider the downward-sloping linear demand curve in the figure at the right.
