What does a price elasticity of demand of 0.39 mean?
The Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfigh ter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopde cays sales declined by 1,500 units per month. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecays toothbrush and Decayfighters toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is 1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?
Using the following equation for the demand for a good or service, calculate the price elasticity of demand (using the point form), cross-price elasticity with good x and income elasticity. Q=82P+0.10I+Px Q is quantity demanded, P is the product price. P1 is the price of a related good, and I is income. Assume that P= $10, I = 100, and Px = 20.
What is the formula for line cross-price elasticity of demand?
Estimates presented in Exhibit 5 show that Android users have a higher price elasticity of demand for apps in the Google Play Store than do iPhone users in the Apple App Store. Why might Android users tend to be more sensitive to app prices than iPhone users? What categories or types of apps (for example, games/social media) do you think have the highest price elasticities?
