You run a small business and would like to predict what will happen to the quantity demanded for your product if you raise your price. 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.)

- 3. You are the only pharmacist in a small town; the next closest drugstore is 50 miles away. The population in your town consists of young farmers and older retired families. You have noticed that the young farmers are less sensitive to price changes than the retired population. Specifically, you have found that the working population has an own price elasticity of demand of -2 and the retired farmers have an own price elasticity of-4. How can you use this information to your advantage?arrow_forwardThink of a relevant example in your own life of how a change in the market (including information, preferences, technology, price of alternative goods, regulations, taxes, etc.) has shifted either the supply or demand of a good. 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.

- What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65arrow_forwardThe table below illustrates the market's demand and supply for a latte.

- Identify a product or service for which you use on a regular basis. Discuss the product/service in terms of the Law of Demand from your perspective as the customer and consumer of the item. How does price impact your quantity demanded? In other words, what is your change in quantity demanded as a result in an increase or decrease in the product’s price? What are some shift factors of demand (anything other than price) that can adjust your overall demand for the product?arrow_forwardThe table below shows the percentage change in quantity demanded of sending regular mail, of sending parcels, and of home broadband service in Australia from a one-percent increase in each specified price (holding all other prices constant): Change in price of: Sending regular mail Effect on quantity of: Sending regular Sending parcels Home broadband mail -1.5 Sending parcels 0 Home broadband +0.05 0 -1 -0.7 +0.01 -0.11 -0.5 a) For which services is quantity demanded price elastic? Or price inelastic? b) Which services are substitutes and which are complements? c) How would an increase in the price of sending regular mail affect total revenue to Australia Post from that service? How would an increase in the price of home broadband affect total revenue to suppliers of broadband?arrow_forwardFind an article in The Wall Street Journal or The Economist that was published after 12/1/23 describing a change in price or quantity or both in some market. Analyze the situation using economic reasoning. A reference must be provided for the article Has there been an increase or decrease in demand? Factors that could shift the demand curve include changes in preferences, changes in income, changes in the price of substitutes or complements, or changes in the number of consumers in the market. Has there been an increase or decrease in supply? Factors that could shift the supply curve include changes in costs of materials, wages, or other inputs; changes in technology; or changes in the number of firms in the market. Draw a supply-and-demand graph to explain this change. Be sure to label your graph and clearly indicate which curve shifts. If done neatly, you can draw the graph by hand and paste it in your documentarrow_forward
