- Hans is a butcher in Washington. The following contains data on prices and weekly sales at his shop Good Beef Chicken Price 9.00/lbs $4.00/lbs Quantity 400 lbs 300 lbs ShS He estimates that the own price elasticity for beef is 2 and for chicken is .75. He also estimates that the cross price elasticity for chicken is .60. His current revenue from the sale of these two goods is making a total of $4800/week. In the spirit of the return to good times and outdoor grilling, he has decided to lower the price of beef for the summer, from $9.00 to $8.55. Overall, Hans can expect to take in dollars in revenue, given the information in this problem? (Revenue = Price x sales). Record your answer without a dollar sign and without a comma. Helpful Hint: In this problem, we are not changing the price of chicken.arrow_forwardPlease read attached article and then use it to answer the following questions. Do companies prefer to sell products that are more elastic or more inelastic? Briefly explain. What does the article describe as the best way to calculate price elasticity, and what other information is relevant to inform marketing efforts? Suppose a marketing company runs a market test and finds that the price elasticity equals -0.6. Would a company be more inclined to increase or to decrease price given this elasticity? Explain what would happen to quantity purchased (by how much it would change) and total revenue (would it increase, decrease, or stay the same) if the company were to decrease price by 10%.arrow_forwardplease see the attached1arrow_forward
- 4) Jerry, an addict of Jamba Juice finds out about his 3% increase in pay, so he plans on increasing his Jamba Juice consumption by 5% not to mention Jamba Juice's 1% price decrease. However, he plans to decrease his consumption of Tropical Smoothie by 2%. What is Jerry's cross-price elasticity of demand for a Tropical Smooth with respect to the price of Jamba Juice?arrow_forwardPrice elasticity for a good depends on the share of a consumer's budget spent on a good. Other things being equal, which of the following goods has the most elastic demand? Salt O Computer O Laundry detergent The price elasticity of demand for a good also depends on how you define the good. Organize the goods found in the following table by indicating which is likely to have the most elastic demand, which is likely to have the least elastic demand, and which will have demand that falls in between. Categories Most Elastic In Between Least Elastic Wine Merlot Beverages The price elasticity of demand is also affected by the given time horizon. Other things being equal, the demand for natural gas will tend to be elastic in the short run than in the long run.arrow_forwardQuiz: Demand i 47 2 S W H X There is a decrease in the number of buyers wishing to purchase cheddar snack crackers.

- 6. Al's Appliancemart has market power in selling refrigerators. He just got in a shipment of undamaged refrigerators. Al has determined that there are two different types of buyers. One group are high demanders who have a more inelastic demand but tend to be picky about how nice their appliances look (they won't buy a dented one). Other buyers, low demanders, have a relatively more elastic demand, but also don't mind having a refrigerator with some dents. He pays $600 for each refrigerator from his supplier. 3/3 He has calculated that the high and low demander demand functions follows: Low: P = 1,000-0.5QL (QL = 2,000 - 2P) High: P = 1,600 - QH (QH = 1,600 – P) How much profit could Al earn if he sells them as is? How many should he add dents to (with a hammer) in order to maximize profit? What price would he then put on the non-dented and the dented refrigerators and how many would he sell of each? What would his profit then be?arrow_forwardSuppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -2, its income elasticity is -1, its advertising elasticity is 2, and the cross- price elasticity of demand between it and good Yis-3. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change it Instructions: Enter your responses as percentages. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to use a (-) sign. a. The price of good X decreases by 4 percent. percent b. The price of good Y increases by 10 percent. percent c. Advertising decreases by 3 percent. percent d. Income increases by 2 percent. percentarrow_forwardThe diagram illustrates the demand for MQ2020, a luxury car manufactured by MQ Motors Which statement correctly describes the demand for MQ2020? 8,000 Price, P: WTP (5) 6,000 4,800 4,000 3,200 2,000 0 0 40 60 80 100 Quantity, Q: number of consumers per day 120 Select one O a. There are 99 consumers per day who are willing to pay money for MQ2020. O b. If MQ Motors sets the price at $4,800, there will be 60 consumers who are willing to buy MC22020 Oc MQ Motors will need to raise the price up to $8,000 in order to maximise its profit Od. There are 59 consumers who are willing to pay more than $4,800 for MQ2020. Oe. The demand curve shows that points A and C are feasible options for MQ Motors.arrow_forward
