- At a price $12 per unit, Gadgets incorporated is willing to supply 24,000 gadgets, while United Gadgets is willing to supply 16,000 gadgets. If the price were to rise to $15 per unit, their respective quantities supplied would rise to 27,000 and 21,000. If these are the only two firms supplying gadgets, what is the elasticity of supply in the market for gadgets?MelCo’s Xamoff The global pharmaceuticals giant, MelCo, has had great success with Xamoff, and over-thecounter medicine that reduces exam-related anxiety. A patent currently protects Xamoff from competition, although rumors persist that similar products are in development. Two years ago, MelCo sold 25 million units for a price of $10 for a package of ten. Last year it raised the price to $11, and sales fell to 22 million units. Finally, a financial analyst estimates the cost of production at $2 per package. (a) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $10. Is this price too high or too low? (b) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $11. Is this price too high or too low? (c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what can we say about MelCo’s profit-maximizing price?Question 5: Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium. He decides to rent a telescope for $50 a week and charge his friends and classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a monopolist for renting out "peeps". For each person who takes a 30 second peep, it costs Jimmy $.20 to clean the eyepiece. Jimmy believes he has the following demand for his service: Price of a Peep $1.20 Quantity of peeps demanded 1.00 90 100 150 200 250 300 70 60 50 350 40 30 400 450 20 10 500 550 a) For each price, calculate the total revenue from selling peeps and themarginal revenue per peep.

What will his total profit be? c) Jimmy's landlady complains about all the visitors coming into the building and tells Jimmy to stop selling peeps. Jimmy discovers, though, if he…
- Two shoe stores located in the same shopping center have big sales: 20% off on everything in the store. After the sale, Store 1 finds that its total revenue has decreased by 10%, while Store 2 finds that total revenue has increased by 30%. What are the differences in elasticities for the 2 firms? Explain your reasoning.Suppose you are managing a farming company, which is one of the major producers of Tomato in the State of North Carolina. You have been provided with the following graph which shows the demand curve for the tomatoes that your company is producing. As you can see, there are two known points (X and Y) on a demand curve for tomatoes. According to the “standard" method of computing elasticity (i.e. use the standard formula of percentage change in your computations), the standard-method price elasticity of demand for tomatoes when moving from point X to point Y is approximately Demand 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 QUANTITY (Thousands of pounds of tomatoes)Suppose a country's mobile phone industry is supplied by only two firms (i.e. an oligopoly). Explain how the presence of two firms affects the price elasticity of demand of each firm's output.
- Suppose there are only two gas stations in the remote town of Nome, Alaska and they are competitors. If one of them goes out of business, what will happen to the demand curve for the remaining gas station? In addition, what do you think will happen to prices? The graph below shows a demand for gasoline, with the price of gas and the sales of gas shown below on the graph. P P1 14 22 P2 32 D2 D1 Q1 Q2 Q3 The demand curve will pivot from D1 to D2 and prices will rise as demand becomes more inelastic. The demand will shift to the left, indicating lower demand when there are fewer stations. The demand curve will not change since everyone needs gas no matter what the price. The demand curve will pivot from D2 to D1 and prices will rise as demand becomes more inelastic. 00By how much does the residual elasticity of demand facing a firm increase as the number of firms increases by one firm? The effect of a change in the number of firms on the residual elasticity of demand for a firm as a function of the number of firms (n), the market elasticity of demand (e), and the supply elasticity of the other firms (no) is = (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette.

Jabari initially produced five trucks, but then decided to increase production to six trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $160,000 to $120,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari 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.
