Price / Marginal cost ratio = ($349 / $84)
Price / Marginal Cost ratio = 4.15
Lerner Index = (P - MC) / P
Lerner index = (349 - 84) / 349
Lerner index = 0.76
Elasticity of demand = -(1 / Lerner index)
Elasticity of demand = -(1 / 0.76)
Elasticity of demand = -1.32

As the Apple Watch team planned for their US launch for the first quarter of 2015, an estimated monthly demand function for the US market was derived as shown in Figure 1: QAW =-150,000 -2400PAW +1520PGearS +1200PPebble -1200PiPhone6 +44A Where QAW is the quantity demanded of the Apple Watch per month, PAWis the price of the Apple Watch (dollars per unit), PGearS is the price of the Samsung Gear S watch (dollars per unit), PPebble is the price of the...
When the iPad was introduced, Apple's constant marginal cost of producing this iPad was about $220 We estimate that Apple's inverse demand function for the iPad was p 770-11Q where Q was the millions of iPads purchased. In turn, Apple's profit.maximizing quantity was Q 25 million iPads and its profit-maximizing price was p $500 per unit What was the Lerner Index for the iPad? If Apple were profit maximizing, what price elasticity of demand did it face? Enter your response...
