- You are in management at Superior Industries Inc., the only company in the world sells the popular consumer item widgets. A rival company makes wodgets which are a weak competitor to your product. A small consulting company with MBA students from NotUNB have written a report for Superior Industries with the important statement, “Our estimates show that the demand elasticity for widgets is elastic (-1.8 or 1.8 in absolute value) and we strongly recommend that Superior Industries lower its price to increase revenues and market share.” In another sense, their statement misses the point. Explain.Q) The price for cigarettes sold by Big Tobacco Co Ltd was 6.00 per packet in March 2018. During the month of March, the consumption of cigarettes was 1000 packets. However, the Board of Directors of Big Tobacco Co Ltd decided to increase the price by 25% during the month of April. As a manager you noted that price elasticity of demand was 0.8. As a manager Big Tobacco Co Ltd: A. Advise your management of the strategy that could be adopted by your firm to maintain sales. B. Also, advise your government on recommended interventions in the cigarette market.In one month, a Pizza Hut restaurant sold 5500 personal pizza at RO 4.50 per pizza. When this restaurant increased its price by 30%, its total revenue for the next month increased to RO 18,720. As a result of this price increase, however, the monthly sales of POP decreased from 3500 to 3000 cans. Using the arc elasticity method: (i) Find the own price elasticity of demand for this restaurant’s pizza. (ii) Find the cross elasticity of demand for pop with respect to the price of the pizzas. Are the two substitutes or compliments?
- PRICE (Delars per tor 18 24 M 4 12 24 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons) Supply Demand O Total Revenue (Thousands of Dollars) Demand Supply Several growers are happy with this advancement in technology because now they can sell more crops, which they believe will lead to increases in revenue. Using elasticities, you will be able to determine whether this price change will lead to a rise or fall in total revenue in this market. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand for pistachios between the price levels of $15 and 59 per ton is 0.33, meaning that between these two points, demand is inelastic. Thus, you can conclude that the grower's claim is incorrect because total revenue will increase due to the technological improvement. Confirm your previous conclusion by calculating total revenue in the pistachio market before and after the technological improvement. Enter these values in the following table. Before Technological Improvement After Technological Improvement• RCO Manufacturing is an electronics manufacturer and retailer. Its main products are Computers, PCs and calculators. Market research has suggested that the price elasticity of demand for each product is: Ultrabook: 1.5; PC : 2.5; calculator: 0.6 In an attempt to improve revenue the managers of the firm have decided to increase all prices by 10%. 1. You have been asked to evaluate the planned price increases. Would a 10% price reduction have been better for some or all of the products?Gerald makes a new brand of shoes that has a unit cost of $75.95 per shoe and a price elasticity of 4.70.

- 8.4 Price-Volume Pricing (Figures 8-23 to 8-25) The price elasticity for personal computers is estimated to be –2. For the PC manufacturer shown, evaluate the sales and profit impact of a 10% price increase and a 10% price decrease. For each pricing strategy, determine the break-even market share and discuss the profit risk associated with it.1)lf the price of a product increases by 10 % and demand decreases by 25%. It is the situation of: A) Relatively elastic demand B) Unitary elastic demand C) Relatively inelastic demand D) Perfectly elastic demand 2. Which one of the following is average total cost (ATC) if the output is 100 units and total cost is RO 30000? A) 300 B) 30100 C) 150 D) 3100In one month, a beef burger restaurant sold 2,500 personal beef burger at $2.50 per pizza. When this restaurant increased its price by 20%, its total revenue for the next month increased to $12,500. As a result of this price increase, however, the monthly sales of chicken meat decreased from 2,500 slices to 2,000 slices . Using the arc elasticity method, a) find the price elasticity of demand for this restaurant’s beef burger; and b) find the cross-elasticity of demand for chicken meat with respect to the price of burger. Comment on your result.
- A6 You are the owner of a local Honda dealership. Unlike other dealerships in the area, you take pride in your “No Haggle” sales policy. Last year, your dealership earned record profits of $2.0 million. In your market, you compete against two other dealers, and the market-level price elasticity of demand for midsized Honda automobiles is -1.8. In each of the last five years, your dealership has sold more midsized automobiles than any other Honda dealership in the nation. This entitled your dealership to an additional 35 percent off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) in each year. Taking this into account, your marginal cost of a midsized automobile is $13,000. What price should you charge for a midsized automobile if you expect to maintain your record sales?The Potomac Range Corporation manufactures a line of microwave ovens costing $500 each. Its sales have averaged about 6,000 units per month during the past year. In August, Potomac’s closest competitor, Spring City Stove Works, cut its price for a closely competitive model from $600 to $450. Potomac noticed that its sales volume declined to 4,500 units per month after Spring City announced its price cut. a. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Potomac’s oven and the competitive Spring City model? b. Would you say that these two firms are very close competitors? What other factors could have influenced the observed relationship? c. If Potomac knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its ovens is −3.0, what price would Potomac have to charge to sell the same number of units it did before the Spring City price cut?harp Inc. a wholly Ghanaian owned company specializes in the production of hand sanitizers branded as Quin.The company has branched in all the regions in Ghana with its head office located in Cape Coast.It employs 1,200 people and pays an average of GHC550.00 as income tax to the government of Ghana on a monthly basis.Suppose that 7,820 units of Quin are produced and supplied by Sharp Inc. but the quantity demanded for Quin is 8,000 units.Ceteris Paribus,a GHC20.00 change in the price of Quin results in a change in quantity demanded for and supplied of 4 and 5 units respectively. Given the above information: a)Determine the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantities of Quin. b)Suppose the government of Ghana in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic grants a subsidy of GHC4.50 on each Quin produced.Compute the new equilibrium price and quantities of Quin.
