The price elasticity of demand for air travel differs radically from first-class (1.3) to unrestricted coach (1.4) to restricted discount coach (1.9). What do these elasticities mean for optimal prices (fares) on a cross-country trip with incremental variable costs (marginal costs) equal to $120?
When the price of a good is $5, the quantity demanded is 100 units per month; when the price is $7, the quantity demanded is 80 units per month. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand is about 0.22. 0.67. 1.33. 1.50.
If the short-term own price elasticity for a product is estimated to be -0.6, then long-term own price elasticity is expected to be?
The demand function for a product is modeled by p = 400 − 2x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 200, where p is the price per unit (in dollars) and x is the number of units. Determine when the demand is elastic and inelastic. (Enter your answer using interval notation. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) Determine when the demand is of unit elasticity.

demand for a product is related to its selling price P (in dollars) by the equation n=2800-100p where n is the number of fans that can be sold per month at a price P. Find the selling price that will maximize the revenue.
Consider the supply function for a kind of computer, namely p=10+0,5q. Determine the arc elasticity if the price increases from R1200 to R3200 . a. |ϵ|=1 , the supply is unit elastic. The 1% change in supply is equal to 1% change in price. b. |ϵ|=1 , the supply is unit inelastic. The 1% change in supply is equal to 1% change in price. c. |ϵ|=<1 , the demand is inelastic at this price. 1% increase (or decrease) in price will cause a 0,3% decrease (or increase) in demand. d. |ϵ|=<1 , the demand is elastic at this price. 1% increase (or decrease) in price will cause a 0,3% decrease (or increase) in demand.
The ABC Co. manufactures digital clock radios and sells on average 3,000 units monthly at $25 each to retail stores. Its closest competitor produces a similar type of radio that sells for $28. a. If the demand for ABC’s product has an elasticity coefficient of −3, how many will it sell per month if the price is lowered to $22? b. The competitor decreases its price to $24. If cross-price elasticity between the two radios is 0.3, what will ABC’s monthly sales be?
The demand function for a certain product is given by p = 500 + 1000/q+1 where p is the price and q is the number of units demanded. Find the average price as demand ranges from 46 to 96 units. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
