A)
Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of the demand for a product to a change in price. It is measured as a ratio of the change of the quantity demanded to the change in price (Demand elasticity).

Cross-price elasticity of demand measures the sensitivity of the quantity demanded of one good to the change in price change for another good. Negative cross-price elasticity indicates that the two goods are complements, therefore they are usually consumed together and a decrease/increase in the price for one will increase/decrease the quantity demanded of the other. Positive cross-price elasticity suggests that ...

Question 1
If the price elasticity of demand for firm X’s product is -1.75, lowering its price will result in an increase in total revenue. This is because a negative price elasticity of demand implies an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. It indicates that an increase in price leads to a decline in quantity demanded and a decline in price leads to an increase in quantity demanded. In addition, the price elasticity of demand is more than 1 in absolute terms hence a change in price leads to a more than proportionate change in quantity demanded. ...

Question 1

Today, the market’s diversity provides numerous low calorie microwavable food options. In addition, increases in the income of individuals, people have the capacity to live easier lifestyles and this has led to increase in demand for certain products of preference.

The quantity demanded equation of the product is given by;

Qd = -5200 – 42P + 20Px + 5.2I + 0.2A + 2.5M

Therefore, the elasticity of P (partial differentiation)

δQdp = -42 Assuming all other independent variables are constant
Hence elasticity of P = (δQdp). (δPQ )
= -42(P-5200-42P+5.2I+0.2A+2.5M)
For the 3-pack unit = -42(5-5200-425+206+5.25500+0.210,000+2.5(5000))
Therefore = -42 (537810) = -212656 = -0.007906

Solving for Px

ΔQdp = 20(637810)=0.010579

Solving for I

QdI=5.2550037810=0.7564

Solving for A

QdI = 0.2(10,00037810) = 0.0528

Solving for M

QdM = 2.5(500037810) = 0.3306

Question 2

A. Define the following three terms:

Elasticity of demand
This refers to the degree to which the demand for a commodity varies with the variation in its price. In normal circumstances, the reduction in price of a good or service results in an increased demand for that particular commodity (Hoxie 2010). It also refers to the responsiveness of demand for a commodity as a result of changes in its price.

Cross-price elasticity

This measures the rate at which the quantity of a product demanded responds to the changes in the price of another related good. For instance, if the price of a product increases, the demand for ...

Definition of Terms

Elasticity of demand: The elasticity of demand measures the degree of change in the quantity demanded after a change in any one of the factors affecting demand (Gregory, 2011).

Cross-price elasticity: This is the measure of degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of one good due to change in price of another good (William et.al, 2011). In the case of complimentary goods, the cut in price of one of the goods raises the demand of the other good. For substitutes, an increase in price of one good will lead to an increase in demand of ...

The supply and demand curves were determined after drawing a demand and supply schedule. The demand schedule is drawn by determining the quantity demanded at respective price of the iPhone phones. Thereafter, a graph is plotted based on the quantity demanded and the price to produce the demand curve. Consequently, the supply schedule is drawn by determining the quantity supplied at different prices of the iPhone phones. Thereafter, a graph is plotted based on the quantity supplied and the price.
For instance, the quantity demanded of iPhone phones is 1 million at the price of 500 dollars and 600 ...

Problem 1
Opportunity Cost
- Define the term “Opportunity Cost”
Opportunity cost is the value of the foregone mutually exclusive alternatives. When choice are to be made between several mutually exclusive alternatives in terms of decision making, opportunity cost is the value of alternative that is forgone due to selection of some other alternatives. Generally, opportunity cost is the value of next best alternative that can be achieved with same input. For example: George had $2 in his pocket which is enough to buy either a cup of tea or a cup of coffee. Among them ...

A) Elasticity of demand can be defined as the sensitivity of demand to a change in price and it is calculated as a difference in the quantity demanded divided by the difference in price. Cross-price elasticity is the measure of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a product to the change in price of another one. Complements, the products that are usually consumed together, have negative cross-price elasticity. Substitute goods, on the other hand, have positive cross-price elasticity, since consumers can easily replace one for the other. Income elasticity is the degree of responsiveness of the quantity demanded to ...

Introduction

Economists most often use elasticity to measure the variation of variables like price, demand and supply of certain categories of products. By managers having the knowledge about the price elasticity of demand for the company’s products and the factors which influence it, this will offer them a great competitive advantage and this will lead to increased profits and market share (Genchev & Yarkov, 2010). Price elasticity of demand is defined as a measure of the rate of response of the quantity demanded due to a change in price. The formula to calculate this is: give as Price elasticity of ...

The law of demand states that a change in the price of a good or service results in a change of quantity demanded by the consumer. There is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded in that a price increase will result in a decrease in quantity demanded and vice versa. The degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded as a result of a change in price varies with the type of good or service. Elasticity of demand measures this responsiveness or sensitivity of demand of a commodity to price change (Brue, McConnell, & Flynn, 2010).
Price elasticity of demand ...

1. Why was the term “gilded” an accurate description for the last quarter of the 19th century?
Mark Twain is credited with using the term ‘gilded’ to describe the last quarter of the 19th century America, particularly the years from 1870 to 1900. Twain had used the term ‘gilded age’ in a satirical manner. He draws an analogy with the thin covering of gold on various artifacts that provides a shiny veneer to the object and hides the baseness of the material used to make it. This is an apt description because towards the end of the 19th century, ...

Price Elasticity of Demand: Coca Cola Company

Price Elasticity of demand measures the change in the quantity demanded in response to a change in market price of the commodity. The same is measured by following formula:
Price Elasticity of Demand= % Change in Quantity Demanded/ % Change in Price
In context of Coca Cola company, the price elasticity of demand can be described as change in quantity demanded of Coca Cola when the company changes the price of the soft drink at which it is offered to the consumers. For instance, if Coca Cola increases the price of 300 ml Bottle from $1 to $2, then it is ...

My recent decision to purchase low quantity of petrol for my car every month will be a suitable example to illustrate how the change in price of a good will affect its quantity demanded. As per law of demand, ‘’ There is a negative relationship between price of a good and its quantity demanded. In other words, keeping all the other things constant, as the price of a good increase, the quantity demanded of that particular good decrease and vice-versa’’.
Similarly, over past 6 months, the price of petrol has increased by $3/unit. This has affected by purchase decision and ...

Demand and Supply

Introduction
The paper aims to answer four questions quoted here pertaining to demand and supply of oil and how it is driving the oil prices.

Question 1: How do changes in supply and demand affect oil prices?

Answer: Changes in supply and demand of oil significantly affect oil prices around the world, which is discussed in this section.

Effect of Demand on Oil Prices:

Oil demand is directly correlated with its price, other things remaining constant. The recent trend is such that increase in world over oil demand is putting upward pressure on its price. Globalisation, trade liberalisation and economic growth have resulted in higher oil demand. To a great extent, this growth is being support by ...

Demand refers to the quantity of a commodity a consumer is willing to purchase under different conditions. The demand for a commodity depends on a number of factors like the price of the commodity, income of the consumer, the price of substitute commodities, the price of complements, the preference for the good by the consumers, fashion trends, seasonality, and such others. Therefore, the demand function can be written as:
QD = F(P, Y, PS, PC, T, O)

Where, QD: Quantity demanded

P: Price of the commodity
PS: Price of the Substitute commodity
PC: Price of the complementary commodity
T: Consumers’ tastes and preferences

It can be determined using two methods namely; point price elasticity or Arc price elasticity. This paper will focus on the use of point price elasticity to make a decision on whether to raise the price of sweaters or not. Point price elasticity applies differential ...

Law of Demand and supply

Introduction
In economics, the law of demand and supply is one of the essential theories governing an economy. The theory of demand and supply determines price, accessibility, and the demand for a given service or product. Demand definition is the willingness of consumers to purchase a certain good or service in the market. The cost of the service or good reflects the consumer’s buying decision. The demand for an item is high when its price is lower than other supplementary goods. The curve of demand theory slopes downward due to the inverse relationship.

Alternatively, supply is the willingness ...

Question 1:

(a) Suppose the income elasticity of demand for furniture is 3 and the income elasticity for doctors' services is 0.3. Compare the impact on furniture and doctors services of a recession that reduced consumer incomes by 10 per cent. (2 marks)

Change in income = 10% = 0.1

Income elasticity of demand = change in quantity demanded/ change in income

Therefore: change in quantity demanded = Income elasticity of demand × change in income

Impact of recession on furniture:

Change in quantity demanded = 3 × 0.1= 0.3 = 30% ...

INTRODUCTION

Service organizations face a challenge in terms of managing demand and capacity. Revenue management (also known as yield management) is a technique designed to address that challenge. Mudie and Pirrie, define revenue management as ‘provision of the right service to the right customer at the right time for the right price’ (164). Therefore, revenue management is a technique used to determine the optimal price of products generated by sale. It involves detailed forecasting of demand behavior and sophisticated mathematical modeling. There exists a strong relation between revenue management and marketing. Since, revenue management is ...

The equilibrium price is determined by forces of demand and supply of a commodity. At the equilibrium point the quantity of coffee supplied in the market is equal to quantity demanded. This means that suppliers will sell all the quantity they supply and customers will be able to get the quantity they need from the market. The equilibrium price will therefore be shown by the intersection of supply and demand curve.

However, when I go to purchase a tin of 500 grams of coffee I do not always pay the same price. This means that the equilibrium price keeps ...

Introduction

For numerous decades, oil has been an important source of the commercial energy throughout the world. The oil industry has always been a vitally crucial industry due to its contribution to the global economy. For this reason, oil is in high demand at all times. Just like the other commodities, the price of oil is determined by the market forces of supply and demand. The oil price fluctuations greatly affect the national economies differently. For instance, while the net exporters of oil suffer economically when the prices decline, the economies of the net importers benefit. Consequently, as one of ...

Introduction

In a free market structure, the price of commodities is determined by the market forces of demand and supply. Price determination, which is either a reduction or an increment, is determined by the availability of goods and services and the availability of demand in the market. When the commodities supplied are higher than the quantity demanded, prices are likely to be lower whereas when the demand is greater than supply, the prices of goods are likely to be higher. An equilibrium price was attained when the rate of quantity required is equal to the amount provided in the market. ...

The United States district court for the District of Columbia is a case that was brought against Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (ABI) to oppose the acquisition of Modelo group by ABI. It was brought up since the government felt that the proposed merger was violating the law through illegal ownership or acquisition of another firm.

The concept of disaster bonds: Overview of catastrophe bonds

Capital markets experience a number of risks that cause investors huge sums of cash. Catastrophe bonds (cat bonds) are a form of principal-at-risk debt securities issued by insurance companies to investors that allow direct transfer of low-frequency, high-sensitivity risk to capital markets. Traditionally, debt securities only allowed insurance companies to repay full principal amount upon maturity of the bond. The introduction of catastrophe bonds solved this situation. Upon the occurrence of one or more catastrophe event, the outstanding principal of the insured reduces. Examples of catastrophe events covered by this bond include natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricane), deaths caused by ...

In the United States, the presidents and the members of executive branch of the government are allowed to keep secret information about their personal life. The president is allowed also no hide information that he/she thinks that if revealed, it can hinder the activities of the executive branch. This is what is called the executive privilege. Some information cannot be revealed since if revealed, they can cause threat to the national security. This privilege is not provided for in the constitution. However, it can be said to be implied by the doctrine of separation of powers (Berger, 19). In ...

The equilibrium price is determined by forces both demand and supply of a product. At the equilibrium point the quantity of tea supplied in the market is equal to quantity demanded. This means that customers will be able to get the quantity they need from the market while suppliers will sell all the quantity they supply in the market. The equilibrium price will therefore be shown by the intersection of supply and demand curve. At the equilibrium point the market clears ensuring satisfaction of customers and suppliers.

However, price of a packet of 500 grams of tea keeps on ...

Introduction

In every market system, two key players are involved; buyers and sellers. Buyers purchase products at their willingness and ability while the seller supplies the products and services to the market at their willing price and ability to the market. (Kumra, 2007)
The market system is defined by the forces of demand and supply. Demand is the capability of a consumer to purchase products at the prevailing price within a given period .Supply is the ability and willingness of a seller to produce and supply products and services to the market at the prevailing price at a given period. ...

During the seventeenth and eighteenth century, The Great Britain was trying to invade most lands in East Asia so that they could do trade commodities on their own terms and conditions, and without any barriers imposed by the local authorities. There were a significant amount of commodities found in East Asia that were demanded in Europe. First the British government established their company called ‘East India Company’ with the desire to do trade; however, later on they attempted to invade most parts of the East Asia. Opium Wars were the proof of invasion of China by the Great Britain. ...

Question 1

Profit maximization by a firm is a process to determine the best possible output and the pricing levels so as to maximize its return. As a step in that direction, companies adjust factors that are influential, such as; projection costs; sale prices, and output levels as a way of attaining its profit goal. The two main profit maximization methods used are: Marginal Revenue Method and Total Cost-Total Revenue Method.

Question 2

Say if the price elasticity of demand for a given product is inelastic, then in that case a price increase will also increase the total revenue. Therefore, the executive implies ...

In economics, supply refers to the amount of goods and, services available for purchase while demand refers to the number of people available and, willing to buy those goods and services. To understand demand and supply better, one should remember that supply and, demand is about trade. Buyers use money to purchase goods while sellers obtain money by selling goods. Nevertheless, behind this exchange of monies is the exchange of goods and services. Moreover, demanders and suppliers are different. It is vital to create a distinction between the sellers (suppliers) and, the buyers (demanders) of a good. Both buyers ...

This is an analysis that determines the relationship that exists between two variables: price and quantity demanded. (Linoff, 2008). The pizza company intends to establish a firm at the National Harbor in Washington DC. The firm carries out a regression analysis to determine the relationship between price and quantity of pizza. The sample data on the variables was collected for a period of thirty days. The simple linear regression model may be represented by the equation below:
Y= B0 + B1X
Y= Quantity of pizza.
B0= autonomous demand
B1 = Demand that depends on the price.
X= Price of a pizza.

The results of the thirty days were regressed, and the regression output is as follows.

G. The given figure above shows the elasticity along the demand curve. Elasticity coefficients along a linear demand curve can be separated into three classifications with respect to their numerical values. Demand is said to be elastic when elasticity is greater than one (From 6 to 10), unit elastic when elasticity is equal to one (From 10 to 8) and inelastic when elasticity is less than one (from 6 to 36).
G1. When demand is elastic, a price decrease will lead to an increase in total revenues since the percentage increase in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage ...

Government Interventions and their Impacts on the Gas Pump Prices

Describe the Economic Issue
Gasoline prices often rise at the pumps sparking controversy about the industry (Peltzman, 2000). This rise creates conflict between drivers, retail stations, station owners and policy makers. Besides, the rise of gasoline creates much concern because the prices of most consumer products become affected by changes in gasoline prices (Castanias & Johnson, 1993). A different reason why customers may react so robustly to changes in gasoline prices is because they are aware that their demands do not affect price, since they are inelastic. Compared with most consumer products the amount of gasoline bought does not change ...

A market is the interaction of buyers and sellers to exchange goods and services. It can also be defined as a system that is used to allocate scarce resources based on the interaction of forces of demand and supply. Market economies range from free market economies where prices are purely determined by market forces to mixed economies where the state controls the price mechanism[ CITATION Duf06 \l 1033 ].
In perfectly competitive markets, prices are only determined by forces of demand and supply. In these markets, prices adjust downwards and upwards to achieve equilibrium between in-coming goods and services for ...

An ideal market place is one where demand is equal to supply leading to the right quantity of goods being supplied into the market. The goods that are supplied in the market must also be used or at least bought by the consumers in order to create a “perfect” market place. If this balance is changes or forced to change, then the resulting market would not be an ideal market. It would either be more goods supplied than demanded or more goods demanded then supplied. In either case, this will lead to higher than the actual or lower than ...

During the time of Samuel, why did the people of Israel desire a king?

The people of Israel demanded a king during this time due to several reasons. The age of Samuel contributed greatly to the demand of a king by the Israelites. Samuel was old enough that he could no longer led the Israelites. The Israelites, therefore, needed someone strong to take over Samuel in leading Israel. The other reason why the people of Israel demanded for a king was due to the fact that the sons of Samuel were very corrupt and could not provide services in a just and fair manner to the people of Israel. The people of Israel ...

The Cold War was a global confrontation between the two military and political blocs led by the Soviet Union and the United States, which did not come down to an open military conflict. The concept of the "cold war" appeared in journalism in 1945-1947 and gradually stuck in the political dictionary.
After the Second World War, the world was actually divided into the spheres of influence of two blocks with different social systems. The Soviet Union and the United States have sought to expand their spheres of influence. But the rough equality of forces between the blocks, and then ...

Part 1 (Using the Midpoint Method)

- Price Elasticity of Demand = (Q2-Q1) ÷ (P2-P1)
(Q2+Q1)/2 (P2+P1)/2

Child labor played a prominent role during the industrialization. A child worker was the central figure not only in both contemporary and classic accounts of the industrial revolution, but also in the early mills, mines and factories. The early conditions of work made child labor unacceptable due to the adverse conditions; however, advances in technology and work conditions demanded children at work. Clark Nardinelli argues that since child workers and their families had the option not to work and yet chose employment, it was optimal to prefer a child labor in the economic sense. There is a disagreement about ...
