Considering the new supply curve, what will the excess demand(that is, quantity demanded minus quantity supplied) in the market be if the government institutes a price ceiling of $3.60?

The Stopdecay Company sells an electric toothbrush for $25. Its sales have averaged 8,000 units per month over the past year. Recently, its closest competitor, Decayfigh ter, reduced the price of its electric toothbrush from $35 to $30. As a result, Stopde cays sales declined by 1,500 units per month. What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Stopdecays toothbrush and Decayfighters toothbrush? What does this indicate about the relationship between the two products? If Stopdecay knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its toothbrush is 1.5, what price would Stopdecay have to charge to sell the same number of units as it did before the Decayfighter price cut? Assume that Decayfighter holds the price of its toothbrush constant at $30. What is Stopdecays average monthly total revenue from the sale of electric toothbrushes before and after the price change determined in part (b)? Is the result in part (c) necessarily desirable? What other factors would have to be taken into consideration?

(Price Elasticity of Supply) Calculate the price elasticity of supply for each of the following combinations of price and quantity supplied. In each case, determine whether supply is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic. a. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 400 units. b. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 500 units. c. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied remains at 600 units. d. Price increases from $1.75 to $2.25, quantity supplied increases from 466.67 units to 600 units.
