If a product has an income elasticity of demand of -2.5 (minus 2.5), and buyers' incomes decrease by 50%, then: O purchases of this product will fall by 50%. O purchases of this product will fall by 2.5%. O purchases of this product will increase by 125%. O purchases of this product will increase by 150%. O purchases of this product will increase by 20%.

Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B(sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales beforethe 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales afterthe 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million A. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B. B. Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group.C. Suppose Nile.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he or she logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Nile.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?

Dashboard for Online Pricing Online the timing and tailoring of prices to specific models of 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 25 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 $.50 per click and boasts a conversion rate of 5 percent (an average of 20 clicks are needed to generate a sale). What price should you charge for the product? What is the optimal markup on cost? The authors assert that price sensitivity is affected by (1) product life cycles, and (2) numbers of competitors. In fact, “when the number of competing sellers doubles, a firm’s elasticity of demand is expected to double (and you should be able to…
Creative Homework/Short Project Assume that you arean entrepreneur who runs a bakery that sells glutenfree breads and cakes. You believe that the currenteconomic conditions merit an increase in the price ofyour baked goods. You are concerned. however, thatincreasing the price might not be profitable becauseyou are unsure of the price elasticity of demand for yourproducts. Develop a plan for the measurement of priceelasticity of demand for your products. What findingswould lead you to increase the price? What findingswould cause you to rethink the decision to increaseprices? Develop a presentation for your class outlining(I) the concept of elasticity of demand, (2) why raisingprices without undetstanding the elasticity would bea bad move. (3) your recommendations for measurement. and (4) the potential impact on profits for elasticand inelastic demand
