The demand function is Q = 15SP-3 where Q is the number of issues sold per day, S is the number of column inches of scandal reported in the paper, and P is the price. Scandals are not a scarce commodity in town A, but it takes resources to write, edit, and print stories of scandal. The cost of reporting S units of scandal is £10S and is independent of the number of papers sold. In addition, the cost to print and deliver the paper is £0.10 per copy and is independent of the amount of scandal reported in the paper. (a) Calculate the price elasticity of demand. Explain whether the price elasticity depends on the amount of scandal reported and whether the price elasticity is constant over all prices. Comment on the price sensitivity of the readers of the Daily Outrage. (b) Calculate the profit maximising price using the formula that writes marginal…arrow_forward

- Example 2: In fall of 2011, the National Christmas Tree Association decided to impose a fee/tax of $0.15 per tree sold.² They claimed the tax revenue raised would fund a new marketing campaign for Christmas tree growers in response to growing plastic tree imports. The proposal quickly drew controversy: some argued that the fee/tax would be passed along in higher prices to consumers, but the National Christmas Tree Association says no. How does the answer to this question depend on the assumption about the price elasticity of demand? a. Consider two graphs of the market for Christmas trees. The supply curve in each market is assumed to be the same. In the left graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively inelastic and in the right graph, assume the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic. Add labels on your diagram to identify the equilibrium price and quantity of trees before the tax. b. Now, suppose retailers are assessed a tax of amount for each tree sold.…arrow_forwardIf one gas station reduces its prices, must other gas stations match the price reduction?
