Consider the figure below that shows the relationship between advertising expenditure (on the x-axis) and sales revenue (on the y-axis). Which one of the following statements is TRUE? Sales Revenue 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 0 20 Ad Dollars vs Sales Revenue 40 60 80 Ad Dollars Spent 100 120 ● 140 A linear model overpredicts sales revenue at lower levels of advertisement expenses. The R2 value with a linear specification will be higher than that with a quadratic specification. With a quadratic specification, we find an increasing marginal productivity of advertisement. With a liner specification, we find an increasing marginal productivity of advertisement.

I- Demand for a product is estimated to be Q=960 - 1.2P + 1.4Y +.003A where, Q and P are the quantity and price of the product respectively, Y is income, and A is the advertising expenditures. All the variables are in the natural logarithmic form and all the estimated coefficients are statistically significant. The average annual sale and the average price of the product are 60000 units and $8000 respectively. A. Price elasticity of demand is -------------, income elasticity of demand is ---------, advertising elasticity of demand is B. The optimum level of advertising spending for the firm is

Suppose that sales revenue (S) depends upon the quantity of advertising (A), in a relationship estimated as: S= 14 + 16A-2A2 Task: how many unit of advertising should be undertaken to maximize sales?
A firm introduced a new product to the market in the first month of the year which supported with the corresponding advertising campaign and showed their steady growth next months. The starting price was set at a level of 30% above the average cost (AC). The company's objective is to cover its overheads and achieve maximization at profits and therefore wonders if the price of €7.5 is optimal. With continuous development of sales the company conducted market research and found that elasticity demand to price is −3. The formula for calculating the elasticity of demand is given to the value: eP = [-AC/(P-AC)] - 1 Sales (tons) and costs (thousand euros) for the next 3 months are estimated as follows: Sales (volume) Raw materials Labor Administrative expenses Electricity - Heating JANUARY Other general expenses total EXPENSES 2,250 €1,400 Other industrial costs €3,000 €3,350 €2,150 €450 €2,250 €12,600 FEBRUARY 2,500 €1,550 €4,050 €3,075 €2,150 €475 €2,200 €13,500 MARCH 2,750 €1,700 €4,950…
potter makes and sells ceramic bowls. It is observed that when the price is $32, only 9 bowls are sold in a week; but when the price decreases to $10, weekly sales rise to 20. Assuming that demand can be modelled by a linear function, (a) obtain a formula for Pin terms of Q (b) Calculate for the slope of the curve if the relationship between p and Q is linear. (c) comment on the likely reliability of the model
The law of supply-and-demand is an important principle in economics. If the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied will rise as more producers attempt to capitalise on the increased price. However, if supply increases then price will decrease, as more suppliers creates more competition. A mathematical model for the relationship between the price Pa and quantity Q. at yearly intervals is the system of difference equations, Pn+1 P-0.1(Q. - 500), Qn+1=Qn +0.2(P-100), M (7a) (7b) where n represents the year. (a) What do the constants -0.1 and 0.2 in Equations (7a) and (7b) represent? (b) Find all combinations of equilibrium values, (p, q), associated with the differenc equation model, Equation (7). What do the equilibrium values represent?
