1. Assume that the price and income elasticities of demand for luxury cars are EP = –0.52 and EY = 3.2 respectively. In the coming year, car prices are expected to rise by 2 percent and income by 19.2 percent. Based on this information, sales of cars are expected to increase by_____%. Hint: Round to the second decimal. Percentages are between 0 - 100. If you calculate .0151 then the answer is 1.51% 2. For a good that has a...

2. Suppose that econometricians at Hallmark Cards determine that the price elasticity of demand for greeting cards is -3. 1. If Hallmark's marginal cost of producing cards is constant and equal to $1.00, use the Lerner index to determine what price Hallmark should charge to maximize profit. 2. Hallmark hires you to estimate the price elasticity of demand faced by its archrival, American Greetings. Hallmark estimates that American's marginal cost of producing a greeting card is $1.50. You note that...
