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 28 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 $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? 2. The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors.

Multiple Choice Although the slope of the demand curve is constant, price elasticity of demand goes from elastic to inelastic as we move from high to low price ranges. Although the slope of the demand curve is constant, price elasticity of demand goes from Inelastic to elastic as we move from high to low price ranges. Although the demand curve is convex to the origin, price elasticity of demand is constant throughout. A steep slope means demand is relatively inelastic, a flat slope means demand is relatively elasticarrow_forward
- Suppose you are the manager of a restaurant that serves an average of 400 meals per day at an average price per meal of $20. On the basis of a survey, you have determined that reducing the price of an average meal to $18 would increase the quantity demanded to 450 per day. Compute the price elasticity of demand between these two points. Would you expect total revenues to rise or fall? Explain. Suppose you have reduced the average price of a meal to $18 and are considering a further reduction to $16. Another survey shows that the quantity demanded of meals will increase from 450 to 500 per day. Compute the price elasticity of demand between these two points. Would you expect total revenue to rise or fall as a result of this second price reduction? Explain. Compute total revenue at the three meal prices.
