Price elasticity of demand

it creates new sets for most themes every six months. When a set is retailed it has an average shelf life of two years during which the price elasticity of demand remains fairly inelastic. During these two years there are many sets to choose from, choice becomes limited for an individual consumer because products are expensive. It is because of this that the demand is inelastic on the whole for an average consumer because he or she cannot afford to buy multiple sets. Moreover, even though there…

THE NEED FOR DIFFERENTIATION What are services and what exactly draws the line between product differentiation and service differentiation? How does one create demand for services and is there any heterogeneity involved? Guy Black (Black, 1951) has very well illustrated these points in his paper titled ‘Product Differentiation and demand for Marketing Services’. Going back to the definition that Marshall has given us – Services are the category of intangible things that are desired or which…

equality of the price of a good or a service with its marginal cost is a key condition to ensure the efficiency of allocation of resources (Hall, 1986). The ultimate goal of this pricing rule is the maximisation of social welfare. If the pricing rule mentioned above is not applied, we can examine two different cases. If the marginal cost of a good is below its price, it should be necessary to decrease the price so as to maximise social welfare. By contrast, if marginal cost is above its price,…

The following research paper will discuss the 3rd-degree price discrimination model within the airline industry, the basic revenue management model used by airlines and further price discrimination techniques, as well as primary research involving data gathered from Delta & Southwest Airlines.

If the government set a price of $2.00 a slice, how many slices of pizza will be sold each day, according to Figure 6.2? a. none c. 200 b. 150 d. 250 ____ 19. A new office building has opened and the demand for pizza has increased. The new demand curve states that consumers will buy 200 slices at $2.50 each and 300 slices at $1.50 each. Based on Figure 6.2, if the slope of the curve has not changed, what is the new equilibrium price and quantity supplied? a. $1.00, 300 slices…

market share Vietnam 2013-2014). That result means Samsung market share reduce 13% in just one year while other smart phone brand just slightly changes. This showed us that Samsung’s demand is elastic. The price elasticity of demand is a measure of how much the quantity demanded for a good responds to a change in the price of that good. This information will illustrate and justify our statement below. Availability of Close Substitutes First of all, the main reason cause Samsung became an…

In this diagram, SX is the supply curve and DX is the demand curve of commodity X in a large nation. When there is no trade, point E represents the point of equilibrium (the intersection between SX and DX). When there is no tax imposed on commodity X, PX is equal to £1.00; the nation consumes 200X, which is represented on the diagram by the distance AB. Out of that, 40X is domestically produced (distance AC) whilst 160X is imported (CB). In this essay, I will use this diagram to elaborate on how…
