f. When price of Tylenol is $0.50, 1,000 are sold. Suppose the price elasticity of demand is 2 and you want to increase the quantity sold to 1,200. Based on that information, what is the new price you must charge? HINT: Use our formula for elasticity as step 1 and our formula for % change in steps 2 and 3.

If price elasticity of supply of a good = 1.45 , how do you interpret this? If price elasticity of supply of a good = 0.45 , how do you interpret this? If price elasticity of supply of a good = 1.00 , how do you interpret this?

You are working trying to estimate the proper price to charge a market for the firm that sells beer in Lancaster Pennsylvania. They estimated that the demand curve for the market is Quantity demanded=20-2P. The firm currently prices the good at 8 dollars. They want to move the price to 6 dollars in a attempt to increase profits. 1) What is the elasticity for this move in price (Use the midpoint method for elasticity) make sure you show your work?  2) Now you are contacted by a different branch of this company that is in a lower priced (Scranton P.A.) market with the same demand curve. They want to move the price from 2 to 5 dollars. What is the elasticity of this change (Use the midpoint method)? 3) Now suppose you find out that there is a similar product that impacts the Quantity demanded for a product. The relationship is Qd=15+Pb. Now suppose the price (Pb) of the other good is 5 and goes to 6. What is the Cross-price elasticity of the good?

2. The demand function for a certain item is given by D (p) = 1000 - p³ Find the elasticity of demand to decide if the manufacturer should raise or lower the price from the current price of $5?
