You are working trying to estimate the proper price to charge a market for the firm that sells beer in Lancaster Pennsylvania. They estimated that the demand curve for the market is Quantity demanded=20-2P. The firm currently prices the good at 8 dollars. They want to move the price to 6 dollars in a attempt to increase profits. 1) What is the elasticity for this move in price (Use the midpoint method for elasticity) make sure you show your work? 2) Now you are contacted by a different branch of this company that is in a lower priced (Scranton P.A.) market with the same demand curve. They want to move the price from 2 to 5 dollars. What is the elasticity of this change (Use the midpoint method)? 3) Now suppose you find out that there is a similar product that impacts the Quantity demanded for a product. The relationship is Qd=15+Pb. Now suppose the price (Pb) of the other good is 5 and goes to 6. What is the Cross-price elasticity of the good?
I pretty sure I got the first part right. I am struggling with bottom parts.
why do you think brand-named goods are more elastic or less elastic than categories, especially when there are very good substitutes for Exxon gasoline available at close distances?
Change of own product price may shift the entire demand curve. Select one: O True O False
As competitors enter a market, demand becomes more meaning the demand curve shifts and becomes O elastic: in: flatter O elastic; out; flatter O inelastic; in; stceper O inclastic: cout flatter
Joe Smiley buys his mobile phone services from Sprint, the sole provider in his state of Wyoming. Sprint offers the following pricing plans: a fee of 10 dollars per month and 50 minutes of free calls per month or a fee of 20 dollars per month and 100 minutes of free calls. Under both plans the price of additional calls is 25 cents per minute.Joe Smiley's demand curve for mobile phone services is P=100 - 0.5Q where P is measured in cents/minute and Q is measured in minutes per month. a) suppose Joe Smiley subscribes to the first plan (10 dollar fee and 50 free minutes) (i) how much calling time would he consume? (ii) what would be his total benefit? What would be his surplus? b) suppose Joe Smiley subscribes to the second plan (20 dollar fee and 100 free minutes) (i) how much calling time would he consume? (ii) what would be his total benefit? What would be his surplus? c) which plan would Joe Smiley choose? He will choose plan (b) because it maximizes his surplus
With an elastic demand curve, an increase in the price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded that is proportionately larger. Thus, total revenue decreases” Explain this statement using proper graphs
4 In order to price-discriminate, a firm must be able to separate its customers who have different elasticities of demand. A firm can earn. more revenue by charging higher prices to consumers with relatively inelastic demand, and lower prices to consumers with relatively elastic demand. Consider the different customers listed below. Which ones have relatively inelastic demand, and which ones have relatively elastic demand? Items (4 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area below) Jordan goes to an out-of-state university. Categories The Jones family travels for a vacation. Robert goes to a matinee movie. Relatively elastic Drag and drop here Jerry buys multiple items (soda, popcorn, candy) from the concession stand at a movie theater. Relatively inelastic Drag and drop here
At a particular street corner are two competing sandwich shops: Tony’s and Diana’s. Both have been doing well selling delicious veggie sandwiches, so much so that they both increase their prices in response to rising demand. Use the data shown in the table below to calculate both Tony’s and Diana’s supply elasticity for veggie sandwiches. Which sandwich shop seems better situated to meet the rising demand for veggie sandwiches? QS1 Price1 QS2 Price2 Tony's 100 $5.00 125 $6.00 Diana's 65 $6.95 75 $8.50 Please answer both questions, as I am unsure of how to go about them

If the price of streaming movie rental is $7.00, Darrin will rent 4 movies in a month. If the price of a streaming movie rental is $4.00, Darrin will rent 8 movies in a month. Using the Midpoint Method for Elasticity, what is Darrin's Price Elasticity of Demand for streaming movie rentals (round all calculations to the closest ten-thousandths so that your percentages are rounded to the closest hundredths; round your final answer to the closest hundredths)? Is his demand Elastic, Inelastic, or Unitary? If Darrin is the typical streaming movie rental customer, should the company increase or decrease their price of streaming movie rentals to increase revenues?
