When he increased the price to $9.50, he sold only 4,000 T-shirts. What is the demand elasticity? If his marginal cost is $4 per shirt, what is his desired markup and what is his initial actual markup? Was raising the price profitable?What can be said about the price elasticity of demand in each of the following statements? “The Tikka delivery business in this town is very competitive. I’d lose half my customers if I raised the price by as little as 10%.” “My economics professor has chosen to use the Mankiw textbook for this class. I have no choice but to buy this book.” “I always spend a total of exactly Rs.1000 per week on coffee.” A news website reported (Feb. 17, 2020) that ridership of Karachi Metro Bus declined after a fare increase: “There were nearly four million fewer riders in December 2019, the first full month after the price of a token increased Rs. 25 to Rs.150, than in the previous December, a 4.3 percent decline.” Use these data to estimate the price elasticity of demand for Karachi Metro Bus. According to your estimate, what happens to the Karachi Metro Bus’s revenue when the fare rises? Why might your estimate of the elasticity be unreliable?

In terms of consumers’ surplus which situation do peoplein Canada prefer and which do people in the US prefer? Why?Viking Publishing House observed that in the recent years books on nature conservation and climate change have been very popular. As a matter of fact, Jane Goodall's latest book, "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet" has been a best-seller and Viking estimates the following demand curve for the book: P = 150 - Q In this equation, P is the price of the book and Q denotes yearly sales in thousands 20,000 books would be expressed as Q = 20 books. In other words, Viking estimates that it incurs a cost of $40 for printing and shipping of each book and pays a $10 royalty to Jane Goodall for each book sold. a. Calculate the profit maximizing OUTPUT and PRICE for this book. Also, calculate the TOTAL PROFITS.The manager of the Sell-Rite drug store accidentally mismarked a shipment of 20- pound bags of charcoal at $3.15 instead of the regular price of $4.25. In a week, a total of 180 bags of charcoal was sold. The store normally sells an average of 120 bags per week. What is the store’s arc elasticity of demand for charcoal? Also make an economic interpretation of the elasticity figure.
