Question

Transcribed Image Text:Peaks & Valleys Co. serves customers in two towns, Abovely and
Belowing. Residents of Abovely have demand function QA = 220 - 4PA.
Residents of Belowing have demand function QB = 18 - 0.2PB. The total
cost of serving Q = QA + QB consumers is C = 10Q. Who has more elastic
demand at a given price, Abovely or Belowing residents, and whom would
you expect to pay the higher price based on the elasticities if P&V price
discriminates?
Abovely residents have more elastic demand, and therefore will pay less.
Abovely residents have more elastic demand, and therefore will pay more.
Belowing residents have more elastic demand, and therefore will pay less.
Belowing residents have more elastic demand, and therefore will pay more.

- A. Using the mid point equation, calculate the price elasticity of demand for the market demand curve for a change from the equilibrium price of $4.00( show the equation and all calculations) is the demand curve elastic or I elastic for this price change? What would happen to the total market revenue if the price changed to $4.00 b. If a new firm(competitor) enters this market so that 6adsitional units are supplied at each price above $0, what would happen to the equilibrium price and quantity and the total market revenue of the market.

(a) Find the elasticity of the demand function p + 2p + q = 100 at p = 9. (b) How will a price increase affect total revenue? O Since the demand is unitary, there will be no change in the revenue with a price increase. O Since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue. O Since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will decrease the total revenue. Since the demand is inelastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. Since the demand is elastic, an increase in price will increase the total revenue. Need Help? Read itarrow_forward
