15.5 (0) The demand function for drangles is q(p) = (p+ 1)-2. (a) What is the price elasticity of demand at price p? (b) At what price is the price elasticity of demand for drangles equal to -1?. (c) Write an expression for total revenue from the sale of drangles as a function of their price. the revenue-maximizing price. Don't forget to check the second-order Use calculus to find condition.. (d) Suppose that the demand function for drangles takes the more general form q(p) = (p+a)-b where a > 0 and b > 1. Calculate an expression for the price elasticity of demand at price p. At what price is the price elasticity of demand equal to –1?_ -
An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from -2 to -3. Suppose the normal price is $33 , which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of -2. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to -3 ? ( Hint : In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?) a) $ 30.60 b) $25.50 c) $33.15 d)$ 35.70
George has been selling 5,000 T-shirts per month for $8.50. When he increased the price to $9.50, he sold only 4,000 T-shirts. What is the demand elasticity? If his marginal cost is $4 per shirt, what is his desired markup and what is his initial actual markup? Was raising the price profitable?
Suppose the Daily Graphic Newspaper estimates that if it raises the price of its newspaper from Ghc1.00 to Ghc1.50 then the number of subscribers will fall from 50,000 to 40,000. a. What is the price elasticity of demand for the Daily Newspaper when elasticity is calculated using the midpoint method? b. What is the advantage of using the midpoint method? c. If the Daily Newspaper's only concern is to maximize total revenue, should it raise the price of a newspaper from Ghc1.00 to Ghc1.50? Why or why not?
2. Suppose the demand for a product is given by x = 30 − 2p. (a) Find the elasticity of demand and use that to find the price that maximizes revenue. (b) Now, let’s do the same thing a different way. Find the revenue functions in terms of the variable p. This will be a quadratic function. Find the p value of the maximum by finding the vertex of the parabola. (You should get the same p value as in part (a).

Suppose that over a range of prices, the price elasticity of demand varies from 15.0 to 2.5. Over another range of prices, the price elasticity of demand varies from 1.5 to 0.75. What can you say about total revenues and the total revenue curve over these two ranges of the demand curve as price falls?
