6-3: To conduct an experiment, AMC increased movie ticket prices from 9.00 to 10.00 and measured the change in ticket sales. Using the data over the following month, they concluded that the increase wsa profitable. However, over the subsequent months, they changed their minds and discontinued the experiment. 1.How did the tming affect their conclusion about the profitablitiy of increasing prices? 2. What would happen to the elasticity of the demand in the long run? 6-5: An end-of-aisle price promotion...
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...
Question 1: Suppose you are in charge of a toll bridge that is essentially cost free. The inverse demand for bridge crossings Q is given by P 20 , where P designates the potential toll fee. a How many people would cross the bridge if there was no fee? b What is the loss of consumer surplus associated with the charge of a bridge toll of $5? c As the toll bridge operator you're debating raising the toll to $6....
2) Elasticity Return to the demand curve from question (1), that is, P = -0.4QD + 120 a) What is the elasticity of demand going from P = 100 to P = 35? b) What is the elasticity of demand going from P = 35 to P = 100? c) Explain the discrepancy in the amounts d) What is one alternative measurement method that addresses the discrepancy? Calculate the elasticity using this method. e) Is demand elastic or inelastic? If...
