ELASTICITY OF DEMAND
Scenario 3:
I choose Almarai company
a. If your company's product has many substitutes in the market, what happens to the elasticity of
your product? If your company's product has few substitutes in the market, what happens to the
elasticity of your product? If your company's product has no substitutes in the market, what
happens to the elasticity of your product.
b. Use a numerical data of price and demand to show the price elasticity of your good.
c. Draw and show this effect of change in price on the demand for your company's product with the
help of a demand curve. By excel

D. is negative.
Typed and correct answer please. Don't give handwritten answer. I ll rate.
Compute the price elasticity of demand if price of apples increases from $10 to $12 and quantity demanded falls from 600 to 400. Interpret the value of the elasticity coefficient you computed in part. Explain fully if firms should increase or decrease price to increase their TR.
