Vivian conducted market research on her company’s products. She found that after the company raised the price of its product by $1.50, the demand in the uptown region remained the same with only minor fluctuations. However, she found that the demand in the downtown region dropped by 20 percent after the price change. How should Vivian take these demands into consideration?
In a situation where demand differs in different areas, Vivian should consider the
demand.
Question 4 Of 20
The graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost
(ATC), and marginal revenue (MR) curves for a perfectly (or
purely) competitive firm. Note that the demand (D) curve is
the same as the MR curve for such a firm. Assume that the
ATC
cost curves are representative of other firms in the industry.
Given the current price, this firm will
D = MR
MC
earn zero economic profit.

How did this change affect the market equilibrium for that good or service? Explain. Next, find a relatively recent news article (within the past year) to support your finding (the news search feature in Google is helpful with this). If you cannot find an article specific to your example, you may find an article about another similar good or service. Summarize the article and its findings, then include the URL in your discussion post. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.arrow_forwardAlmonds are a crop that grows on trees. Farmers do not need to replant trees every year to produce a crop of almonds. It takes at least five years after planting for trees to bear fruit. Several factors such as weather, disease, and long term projections about price impact the supply of almonds available. Barley is a grass that must be planted each year to produce a crop. The growing season is short, about three to four months. Several factors influence farmers' decisions to plant barley each year, including price, weather, and disease. 1. Select each factor which helps determine the price elasticity of supply for a product. Select all the correct answers a. ease of firms to enter or exit the market b. the ability to store product c. flexibility of inputs or resources used to make a productarrow_forward

- Tangi Tumolo carves and creates beautiful furniture on the island of Kiribati. Each month he takes the furniture to the capital city of South Tawara and sells what he can for the best prices he can. He also takes orders from people each month to build certain furniture indicating what is currently in demand. Each month the prices and products vary a bit depending on the demand in the market. Tangi enjoys the ebb and flow of the changing market as it keeps his business interesting and current with demand. Kiribati’s government takes a ‘hands off’ approach with the economy and the market is thriving on its own. Tangi Tumolo lives in what type of economy?

While you do not know the exact demand curve for your product, you do know that in the first year you charged $51 and sold 1,304 units and that in the second year you charged $37 and sold 1,780 units. If you plan to lower your price by 10 percent, what would be a reasonable estimate of what will happen to quantity demanded in percentage terms? Incorporate the point elasticity of demand using the initial price and quantity in your answer. The quantity demanded will increase by percent. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)arrow_forward
