Suppose that the demand for sweatshirts at the university bookstore is given by: P = 40 – 0.2Q A) Using the point elasticity method, price elasticity of demand at a price of $8 is B) Is the demand for sweatshirts elastic or inelastic at the price of $8?
The demand for hair dryers is described by the following function: P= 240-5Qd If the price is $185, what is the quantity demanded? If the price is $185, what is the total revenue? If the price is $175, what is the quantity demanded? If the price is $175, what is total revenue? Compute the price elasticity of demand at the average price of $180.
What would the elasticity be if the demand function were Q = 150 -2P (USE P = 100)?
In April 2021, Amazon charged US$119 per year for Prime. Investment bank RBC Capital Markets carried out a consumer survey. Asked how they would respond if Amazon raised the price of Prime to US$139, 46% said that they would cancel their subscription.a. Based on the survey, calculate the own-price elasticity of demand for Prime. Is the demand price elastic or inelastic?b. How does Amazon’s policy of automatically renewing Prime subscriptions influence the stickiness of subscribers? How does it affect the own-price elasticity of demand for Prime?c. Which behavioral bias of consumers does the automatic renewal policy exploit?d. How does the sunk-cost fallacy affect the price elasticity of demand for products sold on Amazon?
Suppose the demand function for smart phones is given by Q(P) = AP¹-a 1-a where A> 0 and a > 1. Use calculus to show that the price elasticity is equal to 1 — a everywhere along the whole curve. (Hint: Recall that if f(x) = x³, then ƒ'(x) = ßxß-¹). Interpret this result.
