After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities: Price elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = -2.5 Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros = 1.5 %3D Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline = -0.80 Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = 3.00 %3D
6. Elasticity and total revenue The following graph illustrates the weekly demand curve for motorized scooters in Roanoke. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph.

According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of scooters is currently $15 per scooter, shown as point B on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is a $15-per-scooter increase in price will lead to in total revenue per week. In general, in order for a price increase to cause a decrease in total revenue, demand must be
QUESTION 4 In preparation for the new season, a local junior soccer club attempts to predict the number of children that will register to play soccer at different prices. The club believes that at a price of $162.83 per child, 90 children will register to play soccer. Additionally, at a price of $88.04 per child, it is believed that 130 children will register to play soccer. It cannot be assumed that the demand curve is linear. Calculate the midpoint price elasticity of demand for soccer registrations. Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places, giving a positive value for elasticity.
suppose the company continues to manufacture its product in the United States, but now it sells its product in the United States, the United Kingdom, and possibly other countries. The company can independently set its price in each country where it sells. For example, the price could be $150 in the United States and £110 in the United Kingdom. You can assume that the demand function in each country is of the constant elasticity form, each with its own parameters. The question is whether the company can use Solver independently in each country to find the optimal price in this country. (You should be able to answer this question without actually running any Solver model(s), but you might want to experiment, just to verify your reasoning.)
Use the following information to answer the following question. The following linear demand specification is estimated for Spiker Drones, a price-setting firm: Q= a + bP + CM + DPR where Q is the quantity demanded for the product Spiker Drones sells, P is the price of that product, M is the income, and PR is the price of a related good.

The British Automobile Company is introducing a brand new model called the "London Special." Using the latest forecasting techniques, BAC economists have developed the following demand function for the "London Special": QD = 1,200,000 - 40P a) What is the point price elasticity of demand at prices of (a) $8,000 and (b) $10,000? b) Is it Elastic, Unit Elastic or Inelastic, Explain why?
According to the reading "Gasoline Consumption in the US and Norway", the estimate for the long- run price elasticity of demand was Ed=1.44. We also know that there is better access to public transportation in Norway than in the US. So, this estimate likely the true long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline. In other words, if the public transit system in Norway was the same as in the US, a 1% increase in the price of gas would reduce the quantity demanded in the long-run by. than 1.44%. (Fill in the blanks.) O Overstates, more. Overstates, less. Overstates, more. O Understates, less.
Using a linear specification, you estimate your demand curve to equal Q=10-5P+20C+2A, where • Q = the quantity demanded of your product • P = the price of your product • C = college-ratio, which is the percentage of the local population that attends college. For instance, C=0.10 would indicate 10% of the local population attends a college. • A = digital advertising spend (in thousands of dollars) What is your demand elasticity with respect to the college-ratio when your price is $5, your digital advertising spend is $100,000 (i.e. A=100), and the college-ratio equals 0.25? a. εQ,C=0.0013 b. εQ,C=0.0263 c. εQ,C=20 d. εQ,C=15200

What is the own-price elasticity of demand? (show absolute value)b. Is the demand function elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic at a price of $30?c. Will the price reduction bring in more revenue?
AJM distributors has hired you to provide financial advice on a product being sold. They have supplied the following information: The equation: p= 40 - x 4 Using the above equation they would like you to supply information regard to pricing of one of their new products. Make an analysis of the price elasticity of demand obtained from the function given, informing all of the members of the team: -procedure of calculation -Analysis of value obtained -Explanation on how various values of elasticity can affect the profitability of the company Explain the implications (if any) by setting p at a value of $25 vs $30 Advise on how this price increase to $30, will affect the demand for the product and the profitability to the company.
During a particular week six months ago, suppose that the price of a 1 pound slab of Scottish Coho salmon at your local grocery store was $20; currently the price is $25/lb. The manager informs you that 100 pounds were sold during a particular week six months ago when the price was $20/lb. while 80 pounds were sold this week. Calculate the price elasticity of demand (point formula, not midpoint/arc formula—consult the textbook). Based solely on your calculation, is the demand relatively elastic or relatively inelastic? If the grocery store is a price setter, should it increase or decrease the price of salmon to increase its revenue? Only consider this one good—keep it simple. Answer in a few sentences.
