b. An article in Trinidadian Gazette described a marketing campaign by a
beverage company. The article states that "many senior managers felt uneasy
about the extremely high prices of carbonated beverages. They also believed
that with the sharp increases there would be a fall in demand which would
again cause prices to fall further. What mistake did the senior managers make
with their analysis of the situation? Illustrate your answer with a graph.
Q. In an article about the financial problems of USA Today, Newsweek reported that the paper was losing about $20 million a year. A Wall Street analyst said that the paper should raise its price from 50 cents to 75 cents, which he estimated would bring in an additional $65 million a year. The paper's publisher rejected the idea, saying that circulation could drop sharply after a price increase, citing the Wall Street Journal's experience after it increased its price to 75 cents. What implicit assumptions are the publisher and the analyst making about price elasticity?

- A student was asked to draw a demand and supply graph to illustrate the effect on the market for premium bottled water of a fall in the price of electrolytes used in some brands of premium bottled water, holding everything else constant. She drew the graph to the right and explained it as follows: "Electrolytes are an input to some brands of premium bottled water, so a fall in the price of electrolytes will cause the supply curve for premium bottled water to shift to the right (from S, to S₂). Because this shift in the supply curve results in a lower price (P₂), consumers will want to buy more premium bottled water and the demand curve will shift to the right (from D, to D₂) We know that more premium bottled water will be sold, but we can't be sure whether the price of premium bottled water will rise or fall. That depends on whether the supply curve or the demand curve has shifted farther to the right.

Consider the demand curve for Sedans in the United States. For simplicity, assume that all sedans are identical and sell for the same price. Also, assume that: The current market price of Sedans is $30,000 Average Household income is $60,000 per year Price of a gallon of gas is $5 per gallon Price of a subway ride is $2.50 Suppose the price of a sedan decreased from $30,000 to $25,000. This would cause a the demand curve. If an increase in average income causes a rightward shift of the demand curve, then you may conclude that sedans are a good. Suppose that the price of a gallon of gas rises from $5 to $6. Because sedans and gasoline are of a gallon of gas shifts the demand curve for sedans to the an increase in the price 2. With respect to each of the following changes, identify whether the demand curve will shift leftward or rightward. a) An increase in income (the good under…arrow_forwardREAD THEN ANSWER THE QUESTION : THE QUESTION : What is the shape of Starbucks’ demand curve?
