An article in Trinidadian Gazette described a marketing campaign by a
beverage company. The article states that “many senior managers felt uneasy
about the extremely high prices of carbonated beverages. They also believed
that with the sharp increases there would be a fall in demand which would
again cause prices to fall further. What mistake did the senior managers make
with their analysis of the situation? Illustrate your answer with a graph.

- Daffy’s is a pet care company that recently increased the average price of its services by 5%. As a result, the number of customers dropped by 4%.

(Two years prior, in January 2009, Ford stock was trading for about a tenth of that price.) Suppose that on January 27, 2011, you owned 10,000 shares of Ford stock (a small fraction of the almost 3.8 billion shares). Suppose you offered to sell your stock for $18.85 per share, just slightly above the market price. If you ask a price of $18.75, how many shares would you sell? Should you sell your shares at $18.75 per share? Group of answer choices 10,000; Yes 10,000; No 0, Yes. 0; No.You were promoted as the manager of a new Clean-Well Sanitary Store that sells cleaning and sanitation products wholesale.

- Suppose that at the beginning of the year, a poultry farm owner discovers that the demand for poultry eggs sold at $7 per 1000 eggs, was 100,000 eggs per month. At that time, the price was deflating at a rate of $0.5 a month, but despite this, the demand was reducing at a rate of 3000 eggs a month. How fast was the revenue decreasing?You start a business making decorative reusable water bottles. Suppose the demand for the bottles is modeled by the equation q = V15 – 2p where p is the price per bottle and q is the number of bottles sold per week. Suppose that your cost of materials for each bottle is 3 dollars. a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand when p = 3. Write a sentence explaining what this means in terms of the demand and the price. b) Find the range of prices for which demand is inelastic (assume p < 0) c) Find the price that would maximize your revenue. d) Find the price that would maximize your profit. (Include steps justifying that this is a maximum).Read the extract below and answer ALL the questions that follow: Online shopping attracted a great deal of attention from researchers over the past two decades. The advent of the Internet and other disruptive technologies has had a fundamental effect on how consumers buy goods and services today.

However, the influence of personality traits on consumer willingness to adopt online grocery shopping is largely under researched, especially in South Africa. QUESTION 1 (25 Marks) The extract above briefly highlight the digital age that is upon us, and as such companies have to adjust to participate in the global and digital markets. Using relevant…

- The elasticity of Supply is an important concept in Microeconomics as it relates to a business's ability to adjust its production and its production facility in response to market developments. Think of some examples of products and businesses that would have various degrees of Elasticity of Supply and share them here. For example, what would be the Elasticity of Supply for an original piece of art? What does this imply for the adjustment in this market to a change in Demand? How would you describe the Elasticity of Supply for a product such as peaches, plums, and other tree fruit? Consider first a brief period, such as weeks, and next a much longer period such as five years. How does the time horizon influence market adjustment when there is a change in Demand?Femi's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Femi Initially produced five trucks, but then decided to increase production to six trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Femi's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck; Femi must lower the price from $160,000 to $120,000 per truck. Notice that Femi gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial five engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial five engines by selling at $120,000 rather than $160,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $120,000.

On the basis of a survey, you have determined that reducing the price of an average meal to $18 would increase the quantity demanded to 450 per day. Compute the price elasticity of demand between these two points. Would you expect total revenues to rise or fall? Explain. Suppose you have reduced the average price of a meal to $18 and are considering a further reduction to $16. Another survey shows that the quantity demanded of meals will increase from 450 to 500 per day. Compute the price elasticity of demand between these two points. Would you expect total revenue to rise or fall as a result of this second price reduction? Explain. Compute total revenue at the three meal prices. Do these totals confirm your answers in (b) and (d) above?
