Suppose Amazon lowers its Prime membership monthly fee from $12.99 to $9.99. The price elasticity of demand for Amazon membership subscription in this price range is estimated at -0.8. You predict that the number of Prime subscriptions will (increase/decrease) increase Aby (enter a number rounded to one digit after the decimal point, e.g., 22.2) A/ % and that Amazon's revenue will (increase/decrease) A by (enter a number rounded to one digit after the decimal point, e.g., 9.9) A %.
You are an economist. Your friend started a new business selling masks. She asked for your help in making some important decisions. From the data obtained from her, you computed the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) of Masks, and found absolute PED in February was 1.86, and since then the absolute PED of Masks declined by 55% in June. (a) Based on the PED of June, you would advise your friend for an increase/decrease/unchanged in the price - (b) The market price of the mask in July was Tk20 per unit. The total revenue earned in July was Tk300. You received the data for August and observed that the price now in August is Tk28 per unit and the quantity of masks sold in August is 12 units. Calculate the absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for masks from July to August.
You are an economist. Your friend started a new business selling masks. She asked for your help in making some important decisions. From the data obtained from her, you computed the Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) of Masks, and found absolute PED in February was 1.26, and since then the absolute PED of Masks declined by 30% in June. (a) Based on the PED of June, you would advise your friend for an increase/decrease/unchanged in the price - Insert one word answer (increase/decrease/unchanged) (b) The market price of the mask in July was Tk15 per unit. The total revenue earned in July was Tk300. You received the data for August and observed that the price now in August is Tk26 per unit and the quantity of masks sold in August is 9 units. Calculate the absolute value of Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) for masks from July to August. Do not convert into percentage. Give your answer in 2 decimal places. Eg. If you get PED = -0.253 then submit 0.25
Q1. A manufacturer of computer workstations gathered average monthly sales figures from its 56 branch offices and dealerships and estimated the following demand for its product: Q= 15000 – 2.8P + 150A + 0.3 Ppc + 0.35 Pm + 0.2Рс (5.234) (1.29) (175) (0.12) (0.17) (0.13) R^2 = 0.68 Numbers in brackets are standard error of coefficient (SEC) t statistics = b^/SEC Q= Quantity P = Price of basic model=7000 A= Advertising expenditures (in thousands) = 52 Ppc = Average price of a personal computer = 4000 Pm= Average price of a minicomputer = 15000 Pc= Average price of a leading competitor's workstation = 8000 a. Compute the elasticities for each variable. b. Conduct a t-test for the statistical significance of each variable. c. Discuss the results of the t-tests in light of the policy implications mentioned.
Subpart Letter D and E to be solved 1. Consider the following: If the price per unit of good A is P200 quantity purchased isvalued at 1,500 units. If price changes (increase or decrease) by P1, quantity demandedchanges (decreases or increases) by 4 units.A. Determine the demand function expressed as a price function. B. Set up a demand schedule for this function and determine the price elasticity ofdemand at various P and Qd combinations using point-price elasticity formula.(Make sure that all elasticity concepts are found on the same demand curve.) C. Determine the TR and MR functions.D. Graph the demand curve and the TR curve (TR curve just below the demand curve)E. At what P and Qd combination will TR be maximum?

The demand equation for a particular candy bar is px + x + 20p = 3000 where 1000x candy bars are demanded per week when p dollars is the price per bar. If the current price of the candy is 49 dollars per bar and the price per bar is increasing at the rate of 0.2 dollars each week, find the rate of change in the demand.
. Penguin Co. is planning to reduce the price of its refrigerators by 10 per cent. It is also expected that the disposable income will increase by 6% during the same period. The price and income elasticity are estimated to be -1.3 and 2.0 respectively. Currently Penguin is selling 2,00,000 pieces per year. How much can Penguin hope to sell after the above changes in price and income?
The manager of a Cape Town superette carries a stock of Jive soft drinks. The countryexperiences an economic recession which yields an anticipated consumer income decrease of6 %. As a result, the income elasticity of demand for this product is estimated to be –2.5.(a) Calculate the percentage change in the quantity of your soft drink orders required toaccommodate the new demand without a surplus or shortage of inventory. [3](b) What does the elasticity coefficient of –2.5 reveal? [3]
Bubble tea is one of Malaysia's most popular beverages, especially among young working adults and students. With demand currently on a downward turn due to the effects of national Covid-19 measures, it was not long ago a huge craze that began sweeping Malaysians in 2018, resulting in an explosion of bubble tea shops and franchises across the country. In early 2020, the demand for a cup of Bubble Tea in Malaysia is given by the equation Qd = 500,000 - 45,000P. At a price of $5.00 per cup (USD price), what is the price elasticity of demand PED? O a. -0.818 O b. 1.10 O c. 0.818 O d. -1.10
