Big City Java is a local coffee bar. Using Excel, the manager of Big City Java estimates the weekly demand function for their grand mocha coffees to be Qd = 650 (15.25 x P). The estimated regression equation suggests that if Big City Java decreased its price of grana mocha coffees from $7.50 to $6.50, the predicted quantity demanded of coffees would O increase by 15.25 O exactly double O not change O decrease by 15.25

You are in management at Superior Industries Inc., the only company in the world sells the popular consumer item widgets. A rival company makes wodgets which are a weak competitor to your product. A small consulting company with MBA students from NotUNB have written a report for Superior Industries with the important statement, “Our estimates show that the demand elasticity for widgets is elastic (-1.8 or 1.8 in absolute value) and we strongly recommend that Superior Industries lower its price to increase revenues and market share.” In another sense, their statement misses the point. Explain.
Suppose that quantity demand falls by 2 as a result of a 14% increase in price. The price elasticity of demand for this good is O inelastic and equal to 0.10 O clastic and equal to 10 O inelastic and equal to 10 O elastic and equal to 0.10

Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from S1.00 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmers produce from 2 million pounds to 4 million pounds. The price elasticity of supply in this case indicates that supply is unit elastic elastic negative inelastic O perfectly inelastic
Gr8 Ideaz Inc. has determined that the demand function for their heated socks is given by: 5 7P². a. Find E(p), the Elasticity of Demand as a function of price, p. E(p) = b. Find the Elasticity of Demand when heated socks are selling at a price of $10. Give result accurate to at least 3 decimal places. E(10) = c. At this price ($10): We would say the demand for heated socks is: Select an answer Based on this, in order to increase revenue we should: Select an answer d. Use the Elasticity model to determine the price that maximizes revenue. (Round result to 2 decimal places.) D(p) = = 345- p=
The percentage change in quantity demanded that results from a is given by: a) price elasticity of demand O b) O c) O d) e) income elasticity of demand quantity elasticity of demand cross-price elasticity of demand none of the above one percent change in price
A firm is faced with the following demand function (estimated in a regression equation based onpast data).QX = 200 – 4PX , where current price (PX ) = $30The firm is thinking of reducing price to $25 because someone suggested that wouldbring in more revenue. a. What is the own-price elasticity of demand? (show absolute value)b. Is the demand function elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic at a price of $30?c. Will the price reduction bring in more revenue?
