The price elasticity of demand for the printers is -3.4, and you earn a revenue of RM15,000 per month from the good. You earn a revenue of RM5,000 per month from the toner cartridges. The cross price elasticity of demand for both of the goods is 25. If you decide to decrease the price of the printers by 5%, calculate your new total revenues for both of the goods.arrow_forwardThe following graph shows the demand curve for kumquats.

You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: guppy gumdrops, frizzles, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of guppy gumdrops decreases by 8%, the quantity of frizzles sold decreases by 6% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 8%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between guppy gumdrops and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together.

- What is the relationship between price elasticity and position on the demand curve? For example, as youmove up the demand curve to higher prices and lower quantities, what happens to the measured elasticity? How would you explain that? Income effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good that you buy. If one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy?arrow_forwardOnline the timing and tailoring of prices to specific products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And " Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online." Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 30 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $0.50 per click and boasts a conversation rate of 5 percent ( an average of 20 percent clicks are needed to generate sale), the incremental cost of each sale is $50. What price should you change for the product? What is the markup? B) . The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product cycle, and (2) number of competitors. In fact, " When the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm's elasticity of demand is expected to double ( you should be able to verify this…arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between price elasticity and position on the demand curve?
