Transcribed Image Text:Instruction: All answers should be numeric
(numbers only, without letters, commas, spaces
and currency symbols). Answers in items 1 and
2 are whole numbers. Round-off answers (to
items 3 and 4) to 2 decimal places.
Billy Jeans, Inc. is a manufacturer of quality denims
for men. Their demand and supply equations
for their low-rise jeans are given below:
Qd = 35000 – 14P
Qs =
5000 + P
1. Solve for P*
2. Solve for Q*
3. Last month, a competitor offered a 20
percent discount off their regular
Php1800 price on their low-rise jeans
which caused Billy Jeans' sales to
decrease by 3000 units (from the Q*,
computed in item 2). Calculate the arc
cross-price elasticity of demand for Billy
Jeans' low-rise denims for men.
4. In order to regain lost sales, Billy Jeans
lowered their original price (from P*,
computed in item 1) by 10 percent,
increasing their sales from 4000 to 6000
units. Calculate the arc price elasticity
of demand for Billy Jeans' low-rise
denims for men.
