The demand for haddock (fish) has been estimated to be Log Q = .769 – 2.174Log P + 0.461Log I +1.909LogPm Where Q = quantity fish demanded P = price of fish I = income of consumes Pm an index of prices of meat and poultry Log is another way of writing natural log 1)What is the numerical value of the price elasticity of demand? Is fish demand elastic or inelastic? 2)What is the numerical value of the income elasticity...
2. (Klein pp.197) Assume that Country X has no domestic production of widgets. Its demand for widgets, therefore, is based exclusively on imports. Consider the import demand functiorn 2m- 20- where Pm is the price of imports. a) At what quantity does this import demand curve exhibit unit elasticity, that is, dom 1? If Qm - 8, is import demand elastic or inelastic? What if the quantity demanded rises to 11? (b) Now assume that the import demand function is...
The demand function for bicycles in Super City has been estimated to be: Q = 2,000 - 5.5P + 15I Below is additional information concerning this Regression: Standard Error (SE) of the Intercept coefficient = 350 Standard Error (SE) of the price coefficient = 0.32 Standard Error (SE) of the Income coefficient = 0.70, R-Square = 0.64, Adjusted R-Square = 0.61, F-Statistic = 31.402, Q is quantity demanded per year, P is the price in dollars, and I is annual...
1) A firm has estimated the following demand function for its product: Q = 58 - 2P + 0.10I + 15A where Q is Quantity Demanded per month in thousands, P is product price, I is an index of consumer income, and A is advertising expenditures per month in thousands. Assume that P = $10, I = 120, and A = 10. If so, the income elasticity of demand is a) .06 b) .18 c) .36 d) .86 2. Assume that...
3. The Schmidt Corporation estimates that its demand function is Q=400 - 3P +41 +0.6 A where is the quantity demanded per month, P is the product's price in dollars), I is per capita disposable income in thousands of dollars), and A is the firm's advertising expenditures (in thou- sands of dollars per month). Population is assumed to be constant. a. During the next decade, per capita disposable income is expected to increase by $5,000. What effect will this have...
4) Given the following demand function: Q = 50P-1.310.9 40.2 Where: Q: monthly quantity demanded A: Advertising exp. (S000 US) : price in I: Disposable income (SUS) a) What is the price elasticity of demand (use calculus)? b) Will an increase in price increase or decrease the amount spent on this product? c) What is the income elasticity of demand?
The demand function for bicycles in Greece is estimated to be ?=2000−5.5? Where Q is the quantity demanded in units and P is the price per unit. When P=150 euros, determine the price elasticity of demand.
Question2: After a careful statistical analysis, the Middle East Company concludes the demand function for its product is Q = 100 - 0.8P + 0.04 1- 5P 1 and Py are the prices of where Q is the quantity demanded of its product, P is the price of its product, P rivals' products, and I is per capita disposable income in dollars). At present, P = $10, Pr = $6, Py =4 $ and I = $500. a. What is...
