3. Exercise 1.10. Book pricing: Publishers vs. Authors. Consider the problem of setting a price for a book. The marginal cost of production is constant at $20 per book. The publisher knows from experience that the slope of the demand curve is - $0.20 per book: Starting with a price of $44, a price cut of $0.20 per book will increase the quantity demanded by one book. For example, here are some combinations of price and quantity. Price per book Quantity of textbooks $44 80 $40 $36 $32 $30 100 120 140 150 1. What price will the publisher choose? 2. Suppose that the author receives a royaltypayment equal to 10 percent of the total sales revenue from the book. If the author could choose a price, what would it be. 3. Whywould the publisher and author disagree about a price for the book? 4. Designan alternative author-compensation scheme under which the author and thepublisher would choose the same price.

Creative Homework/Short Project Assume that you arean entrepreneur who runs a bakery that sells glutenfree breads and cakes. You believe that the currenteconomic conditions merit an increase in the price ofyour baked goods. You are concerned, however, thatincreasing the price might not be profitable becauseyou are unsure of the price elasticity of demand for yourproducts. Develop a plan for the measurement of priceelasticity of demand for your products. What findingswould lead you to increase the price? What findingswould cause you to rethink the decision to increaseprices? Develop a presentation for your class outlining(1) the concept of elasticity of demand, (2) why raisingprices without understanding the elasticity would bea bad move, (3) your recommendations for measurement, and (4) the potential impact on profits for elasticand inelastic demand

6. Elasticity and total revenue The following graph shows the daily demand curve for bikes in Denver. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. 2 Total Revenue PRICE (Dollars per bike) 88NR S 89 88 89 O 300 275 18 27 35 45 54 53 72 QUANTITY (Bikes) 91 Demand 90 99 108

a. Calculate the price elasticity of demand between $90 and $110. b. Is the price elasticity of demand between $90 and $110 elastic, unit elastic, or inelastic?

For each product, calculate theprice elasticity of demand to determine whether thedemand is elastic or inelastic.a. Cheese pizzas per monthb. Movie tickets per monthc. Concert tickets per year

Taiwan is a major world supplier of semiconductor chips. A recent earthquake severely damagedthe production facilities of Taiwanese chip-producing companies, sharply reducing the amount of chipsthey could produce.a. Assume that the total revenue of a typical non-Taiwanese chip manufacturer rises due to theseevents. In terms of an elasticity, what must be true for this to happen? Illustrate the change in totalrevenue with a diagram, indicating the price effect and the quantity effect of the Taiwan earthquake onthis company’s total revenue.b. Now assume that the total revenue of a typical non-Taiwanese chip manufacturer falls due to theseevents. In terms of an elasticity, what must be true for this to happen? Illustrate the change in totalrevenue with a diagram, indicating the price effect and the quantity effect of the Taiwan earthquake onthis company’s total revenue.
