- An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −3 to −4. Suppose the normal price is $18, which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of –3. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to –4? (Hint: In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?)arrow_forwardThe long-run own-price elasticity for corn at the farm level is –0.372.

Explain briefly. e) Would a decrease in the price of compact cars generate more or less revenue from the sale of compact cars? f) Are compact cars a normal or inferior good?

An estimate of the price elasticity of beef demand is - 1.6 (Henderson, 2003). Assuming that only the domestic supply curve shifted, how much would you expect the price to change?

- The cross-price elasticity between two products is estimated to be -0.5. If the price of the first product is increased by 8%, demand for the second product will a) increase by 16% b) decrease by 4% c) increase by 4% d) increase by 8%arrow_forwardThe price elasticity of demand for a textbook sold in the United States is estimated to be -2, whereas the price elasticity of demand for books sold overseas is -3. The U.S. market requires hardcover books with a marginal cost of $40; the overseas market is normally served with softcover texts on newsprint, having a marginal cost of only $15. The profit-maximizing price in the U.S. market is and the profit-maximizing price in the overseas market is .

Obtain a formula for the price of elasticity of demand E. In one particular year the actual selling price was $271 per phone. What was the corresponding price elasticity of demand? Use your formula for E to determine the selling price that would’ve resulted in the largest annual revenue. What, nearest to the nearest 10 million, would have been the resulting annual revenue?arrow_forward
