Nicky Joe runs a satellite television subscription service for a rural customer base is considering a sale on his satellite dishes Using monthly data he estimates the demand for the dishes to be Log Q = log 11 –- 0.70 Log P + 1.4 Log I. R² = 0.85, SER= 2.33 (0.50) |(3.12) (0.10) At an approximate 95% level of confidence, can you say that a price reduction will increase profits? Why? a. Yes, a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [-0.50 to - 0.90] so the firm is on the inelastic portion of the demand curve, and a price reduction will increase profits. b. No, a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [-0.50 to - 0.90] so the firm is on the inelastic portion of the demand curve, and a price reduction will reduce profits. c. Yes, a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [0.50 to 0.90] so the firm is on the elastic portion of the demand curve, and a price reduction will increase profit. d. No, a 95% confidence interval for the price elasticity of demand is [0.50 to 0.90] so the firm is on the elastic portion of the demand curve, and so the effects of a price reduction cannot be determined.

The law of supply-and-demand is an important principle in economics. If the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied will rise as more producers attempt to capitalise on the increased price. However, if supply increases then price will decrease, as more suppliers creates more competition. A mathematical model for the relationship between the price Pa and quantity Q. at yearly intervals is the system of difference equations, Pn+1 P-0.1(Q. - 500), Qn+1=Qn +0.2(P-100), M (7a) (7b) where n represents the year. (a) What do the constants -0.1 and 0.2 in Equations (7a) and (7b) represent? (b) Find all combinations of equilibrium values, (p, q), associated with the differenc equation model, Equation (7). What do the equilibrium values represent?

Subpart 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to be solved The manager of a sole distributorship for a famous brand of automobiles was discussingwith the assistant manager the planned introduction by mid-year of a new model, theXP-60. It was decided earlier that the price be set at P400,000, at which level the totalnumber of units sold was estimated at 500 units annually. The assistant manager hassuggested that the price should be set at a somewhat lower level, say, at P360,000 inorder to attract a major segment of the non-targeted market. At this lower price, 1,000units are expected to be sold.1. Formulate the firm’s linear demand equation for the product given the estimates andprojections made.2. What is the (point) price elasticity of demand at price P400,000? At P360,000?3. What is the midpoint arc price elasticity of demand between these two prices?Interpret the result.4.
