Demand function (QD) = -5200 - 42P + 20PX + 5.2I + 0.2A + 0.25M Where; P= 500, PX=600, I=$5,500, A=$10,000 and M=5,000

Replace values in the equation;

QD = -5200 - 42(500) + 20(600) + 5.2(5,500) + 0.2(10,000) + 0.25(5,000) = -5200 – 21,000 + 12,000 + 28,600 + 2,000 + 1,250 = 17,650 Price elasticity of demand = ∂QD∂P×PQD ∂QD = change in quantity demanded, ∂P = change in price; P= price, QD = quantity demanded ∂QD∂P = -42 QD= 17,650 P= 500 Price elasticity of demand = -42 ×50017,650 = -1.1898 The above elasticity indicates that the product’s quantity demanded ...

Determination and interpretation of elasticities

Demand function, QD = -3,500 – 150P + 30A + 75PX + 10 Y P = 300 cents, A = $750, PX = 200 cents and Y = $10,000 QD = -3,500 – (150 × 300) + (30 × 750) + (75 × 200) + (10 × 10,000) = -3,500 – 45,000 + 22,500 + 15,000 + 100,000 = 89,000 units

Price elasticity of demand

Price elasticity of demand = ∂QD∂P × PQD

Change in quantity demanded/change in price, ∂QD∂P is the coefficient of price, P in the demand equation.

∂QD∂P = -150 QD = 89,000 P = 300 cents PED = -150 × 30089,000 = -0.5056 The above price elasticity of demand indicates that the quantity demanded of the low-calorie, microwavable food decreases by 0.5056% for every increase in price by one cent. The elasticity is less ...
