In 2018, economists were predicting that the demand for electric vehicles would rise in 2019, driving up the price of lithium. However, in 2019, this expected increase in demand did not happen. Lithium producers, however, changed their behavior based on these predictions. As a result the price for lithium in 2019 (rose,fell,remained the same) and the quantity of lithium (rose,fell,remained the same

- According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy, sales of the fuel-efficient Toyota Prius hybrid fell from 194,108 vehicles sold in 2014 to 180,603 in 2015. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline fell from $3.36 to $2.43 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Toyota Priuses and regular gasoline. According to your estimate of the cross-price elasticity, are the two goods complements or substitutes? Does your answer make sense?Q46 China is the largest wheat producer in the world. Covid-19 has played havoc with the global wheat market. Suppose the price elasticity of demand for Chinese wheat flour is 0.20. If the price of Chinese wheat flour falls by 10 percent, we expect the the quantity demanded of Chinese wheat flour will increase by: Multiple Choice 20 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour will fall. more than the price of Chinese wheat bread. 20 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour will rise. 2 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour will rise. 2 percent and total expenditures on Chinese wheat flour bread will fall.A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control looked at the relationship between the price of beer and the incidence of new cases of STD's. The report concluded that a beer tax increase of $.20 could reduce overall STD rates by 8.9%. Assume that a six pack cost $5.90 before the price increase. Calculate the cross price elasticity between beer and STD's. What is the sign of this cross-price elasticity? According to your estimate, are beer and STD's compliments or substitutes? Does your answer make sense? Explain.
- Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific products is the key to successful pricing in online markets. And " Thanks to the ready availability of data in online markets, a pricing manager can easily approximate the elasticity of demands for the different products it sells online." Assuming a 10 percent decrease in price increases sales by 30 percent, calculate the price elasticity of demand? If the wholesale price of the online product is $50 and sells at a price comparison site that charges $0.50 per click and boasts a conversation rate of 5 percent ( an average of 20 percent clicks are needed to generate sale), the incremental cost of each sale is $50. What price should you change for the product? What is the markup? B) . The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product cycle, and (2) number of competitors. In fact, " When the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm's elasticity of demand is expected to double ( you should be able to verify this…The Globe and Mail (December 16, 1997) reported that milk consumption declined following price increases: “Since the early 1980s, the price of milk in Canada has increased 22 per cent. As prices rose, the demand for milk fell off. Total [consumption] of milk on a per capita basis dropped . . . to 2.62 hectolitres in 1995 from 2.92 hectolitres in 1986.” 1.Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for milk. 2.According to your estimate, what happens to milk producers’ revenue when the price of milk rises? 3.Based on the information provided, why might your calculation of the elasticity be unreliableSuppose that you are a staff economist with an economic consulting firm. The operator of a local harbour has commissioned your firm to do a market analysis of the demand for berths (parking spaces) for boats. Your firm finds that the price elasticity of demand for berths is –0.8. If the price of a berth in the area decreases by 6%, how will the quantity of berths that people demand change? The number of berths demanded will: Increase by 0.8% Decrease by 7.5% Increase by 6% Increase by 4.8%
- According to a recent study, the elasticity of the supply of residential real estate in Nicosia is 1.4 and in Limassol 1.9. If we assume that in 2022 the demand for residential real estate will increase by 8% in both cities and that the supply will remain stable in both cities, how will the prices of residential real estate in both cities be affected. Will they be affected in the same way or differently? If they are affected differently, explain how the effect on prices will differ in the two cities and why.According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the U.S. fell by 14% in 2015. The number of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) sold in the U.S. fell by 36% in the same year. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for HEVs and gasoline. Round answer to one place after the decimal.Jim's Camera shop sells two high-end cameras, the Sky Eagle and Horizon. The demand for these two cameras are as follows (DS = demand for the Sky Eagle, Ps is the selling price of the Sky Eagle, DH is the demand for the Horizon and PH is the selling price of the Horizon): Ds = 230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH DH = 260 + 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH The store wishes to determine the selling price that maximizes revenue for these two products. Select the revenue function for these two models. Choose the correct answer below. (i) Ps Ds + PHDH = PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) + Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) (ii) Ps Ds - PH DH = Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) - PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) (iii) Ps Ds + PH DH = Ps(230 - 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) + PH(260 + 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) (iv) Ps Ds - PH DH = Ps(230 + 0.5 Ps + 0.38 PH) - PH(260 - 0.1 Ps - 0.62 PH) Answer: Option 3 Find the prices that maximize revenue. Do not round intermediate calculations. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Optimal Solution:…
- After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities: Price elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = -2.5 Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros = 1.5 %3D Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline = -0.80 Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = 3.00 %3DSuppose you are advising an industry association on the predicted effects of a price change on quantity demanded and total expenditure on its product. The current price is $1.20 per unit, and quantity demanded is 2500 units per day. Based on extensive empirical studies, you know that price elasticity of demand for the product is 0.7. If the price increases to $2.20 per unit, what is the predicted percentage change in quantity demanded? Will total expenditure increase or decrease? (Remember to use the averaging method to calculate the percentage change in price.) The predicted percentage change in quantity demanded is%. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest integer. Do not include a negative sign in your response.) Will total expenditure increase or decrease? Total expenditure is related with price because the price elasticity of demand is Question Viewer so total expenditure will 1Market researchers estimate that the annual demand for ice cream in Gotham city is: qi = (200,000Pp1/4)/ (Pi3/2Pb1/2) where qi is the quantity demanded for ice cream in scoops, Pp is the price serving of pudding, Pb is the price per serving of brownies, and Pi is the price per scoop of ice cream. a.
