Mr. Mondal is a potato wholesaler at Nasik. The per capita consumption of potatoes per day is about 200 grams. Currently, potatoes are being priced at Rs.6 per kg. The price elasticity of potatoes is 0.62. Due to present short supply of potatoes Mr. Mondal decides to increase the price. If he can sustain a reduced sales volume up to 10%, compute the maximum price he can set is (Round off your answer up to one decimal only)
Your boss has asked you to evaluate the economics of replacing 1,000 60-Watt incandescent light bulbs (ILBs) with
1,000 compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) for a particular lighting application. During your investigation you discover that
13-Watt CFLs costing $2.00 each will provide the same illumination as standard 60-Watt ILBs costing $0.50 each.
Interestingly, CFLs last, on average, eight times as long as incandescent bulbs. The average life of an ILB is one year
over the anticipated usage of 1,000 hours each year. Each incandescent bulb costs $1.90 to install/replace. Installation
of a single CFL costs $2.90, and it will also be used 1,000 hours per year. Electricity costs $0.12 per kilowatt hour
(kWh), and you decide to compare the two lighting options over an 8-year study period. If the MARR is 10% per year,
compare the economics of the two alternatives and write a brief report of your findings for the boss. Assume that both
installation cost and cost of the bulbs occur at the…

With demand currently on a downward turn due to the effects of national Covid-19 measures, it was not long ago a huge craze that began sweeping Malaysians in 2018, resulting in an explosion of bubble tea shops and franchises across the country. In early 2020, the demand for a cup of Bubble Tea in Malaysia is given by the equation Qd = 500,000 - 45,000P. At a price of $5.00 per cup (USD price), what is the price elasticity of demand PED?

Your friend started a new business selling masks. She asked for your help in making some important decisions. From the data obtained from her, you computed the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) of Masks, and found absolute PED in February was 1.86, and since then the absolute PED of Masks declined by 55% in June. (a) Based on the PED of June, you would advise your friend for an increase/decrease/unchanged in the price - (b) The market price of the mask in July was Tk20 per unit. The total revenue earned in July was Tk300. You received the data for August and observed that the price now in August is Tk28 per unit and the quantity of masks sold in August is 12 units.

- The GetUFit Company manufactures elliptical machines. The variable cost per unit to produce a model designed for in-home use is $500. The firm sold 1,311 of these machines at a price of $1,959. When the price was decreased to $1,613, sales increased to 2,256 units. Assuming all else equal and a linear demand function, calculate the profit maximizing price that GetUFit should charge for the machine.

To meet these demands at winter, at least 3*106 gallons of fuel oil a day will need to be produced. The demand for gasoline, on other hand, is not more than 6.4*106 gal/day. The gasoline selling price is $ 1.9/gal and for fuel oil is $ 1.5/gal. Formulate this problem to maximize revenue.arrow_forwardDespite the continued influx of imported pork products that were slapped with lower tariffs, pork prices in the market are expected to remain elevated and even climb further as the holiday season nears. Price monitoring reports from the Department of Agriculture (DA) showed that as of Nov. 19, a kilo of pork ham and pork belly were sold for P340 and P360, respectively, up from P320 and P350 a kilo at the start of the month. Given that demand for pork traditionally picks up during the Christmas holidays, prices may rise even further.Earlier this year, President Duterte issued twin policies that lowered pork import tariffs and increased the allowable import volume. The policies would be in effect until May next year. what is the effect of this to the economy? is it positive or negative?arrow_forward
- When sold for $260,000.00, Ferraris have an annual supply of 6431 vehicles and an annual demand of 6518 vehicles. When their price increases to $276,000.00, the annual supply increases to 6907, and the demand decreases to 5886 billion gallons. (a) Assuming that the supply and demand equations are linear, find the supply and demand equations. Supply Equation p = Demand Equation p = (Note: The equations should be in the form p = mq + b where p denotes the price (in dollars) and q denotes the quantity. The slope and y-intercept should be accurate to two decimal places). (b) Find the Equilibrium price and quantity. Equilibrium price p = Equilibrium quantity q = (Note: The equilibrium price and quantity should be accurate to two decimal places, and the equilibrium price should include a dollar sign).arrow_forwardThe price of crude oil increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, crude oil has traded at between 70 and 150 USD per barrel. But the price increased to over 200 USD in March 2022. Growing demand in Canada for crude to be turned into refined petroleum, coupled with a sharp fall in production in Saudi Arabia have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Saudi Arabia for 2017- 18 fell 65% year-on-year due to an agreement with OPEC. The Energy Information Administration predicts that global consumption of crude oil is likely to be greater than production by 20 million barrels this year. In the US, companies in the steel and alumina industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of petrol. Commentators predict that most steel and alumina producers will be unaffected because crude is such a small part of their spending. 1.
