You run a small business and would like to predict what will happen to the quantity demanded for your product if you raise your price. While you do not know the exact demand curve for your product, you do know that in the first year you charged $53 and sold 901 units and that in the second year you charged $42 and sold 1,186 units.
If you plan to lower your price by 10 percent, what would be a reasonable estimate of what will happen to quantity demanded in percentage terms? Incorporate the point elasticity of demand using the initial price and quantity in your answer.

- You run a small business and would like to predict what will happen to the quantity demanded for your product if you raise your price. While you do not know the exact demand curve for your product, you do know that in the first year you charged $51 and sold 1,304 units and that in the second year you charged $37 and sold 1,780 units. If you plan to lower your price by 10 percent, what would be a reasonable estimate of what will happen to quantity demanded in percentage terms?

Analyze the situation using economic reasoning. A reference must be provided for the article Has there been an increase or decrease in demand? Factors that could shift the demand curve include changes in preferences, changes in income, changes in the price of substitutes or complements, or changes in the number of consumers in the market. Has there been an increase or decrease in supply? Factors that could shift the supply curve include changes in costs of materials, wages, or other inputs; changes in technology; or changes in the number of firms in the market. Draw a supply-and-demand graph to explain this change. Be sure to label your graph and clearly indicate which curve shifts.
