1 The following graph displays four demand curves (PP, QQ, RR, and SS) that intersect at point V. PRICE (Dollars per unit) 200 180 160 140 120+ 100 P 80 60 40 20 R S Z +xxx wx × R S P 0 0 20 40 60 80 120 100 QUANTITY (Units) 140 160 180 200 ? Using the graph, complete the table that follows by indicating whether each statement is true or false. Statement Between points V and W, curve PP is unit elastic. Curve QQ is more elastic between points V and X than curve RR is between points V and Y. Between points V and Y, curve RR is inelastic. True False

Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph.

(?) According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of scooters is currently $30 per scooter, shown as point B on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is in total revenue per week. a $15-per-scooter increase in price will lead to In general,…

6 Input either "increase" or "decrease" where relevant: A decrease in the price of a complementary good will cause its complement’s equilibrium price to ....... and the equilibrium quantity to .......

AFTER READING THE PARAGRAPH ANSWER  THE QUESTION : On Wednesday April 8, Starbucks announced that itexpects its fiscal second-quarter earnings to be cutnearly in half as the coronavirus pandemic causessales to plunge in its two largest markets. What wouldbe the right pricing strategy to maximize revenues forStarbucks in the current circumstances? In January 2020, Starbucks raised their beverage prices by an average of1% across the U.S, a move that represented the company’s firstsignificant price increase in 18 months. I failed to notice because the pricechange didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffeesand I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size(small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase. The company’s thirdquarter revenue rose 25% to $417.8 million from $333.1 million a yearearlier, and green coffee prices have plummeted, so what gives?Starbucks claims the price increase is due to rising labor and non-coffeecommodity costs, but with…

he quantity demanded each month of Russo Espresso Makers is 250 when the unit price is $136. The quantity demanded ach month is 1000 when the unit price is $106. The suppliers will market 750 espresso makers when the unit price is $80 er higher. At a unit price of $100, they are willing to market 2250 units. Both the supply and demand equations are known o be linear. (a) Find the demand equation. -1 -x + 146 25 p = (b) Find the supply equation. 1 x+ 70 p = 75* (c) Find the equilibrium quantity and the equilibrium price. |× units

Suppose that the demand schedule for rice for a Saudi family is as follows:PriceQuantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 10,000)Quantity DemandedOf Rice Per Month(income = SR 15,000)SR 5          60       70SR 4          80       95SR 3        100      120SR 2        120      145SR 1        140      170a. Given the table above, draw the demand curve of rice using Excel.b. Show what will happen to your graph if this family like now less rice as they are eatingmore outside.c. Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of demand as the price of riceincreases from SR 4 to SR 5 if (i) family’s income is SR 10,000 and (ii) family’s income is SR15,000.d. Calculate the income elasticity of demand of this family as their income increases fromSR 10,000 to SR15,000 if (i) the price is SR 3 and (ii) the price is SR 1.

Creative Homework/Short Project Assume that you arean entrepreneur who runs a bakery that sells glutenfree breads and cakes. You believe that the currenteconomic conditions merit an increase in the price ofyour baked goods. You are concerned. however, thatincreasing the price might not be profitable becauseyou are unsure of the price elasticity of demand for yourproducts. Develop a plan for the measurement of priceelasticity of demand for your products. What findingswould lead you to increase the price? What findingswould cause you to rethink the decision to increaseprices? Develop a presentation for your class outlining(I) the concept of elasticity of demand, (2) why raisingprices without undetstanding the elasticity would bea bad move. (3) your recommendations for measurement. and (4) the potential impact on profits for elasticand inelastic demand

In the aftermath of the devastating hurricane Sandy in the Northeast and Jersey Shore, prices of certain goods had risen dramatically. Some people had objected to these price increases, and called for the government to forbid sellers from charging such high prices. This exercise asks you to apply economic principles in explaining why prices tend to rise, and what consequences would result from forbidding sellers from raising prices. We will consider the case of bottled fresh water being available for sale in supermarkets. 1) Draw a graph showing the equilibrium price for the pre-hurricane demand for and supply of bottled water that currently existed in the market place. (label the current equilibrium price as p1 on the price axis, and the quantity as q1 on the quantity axis. Now suppose that the hurricane hits. One effect is to hinder delivery trucks from bringing as much water as before and the need for additional water supplies, so the supply of and demand for bottled water will be…
