Walmart is not good for America because they don’t treat their workers well, they offshore secondary jobs to china, they destroy other retail businesses who can 't compete with them, and they cause suppliers to lose money and possibly declare bankruptcy because of Walmart 's demand for such low prices.

Question 1: Based on the values given above, demand function is, Q = -5200 – 42P + 20PX + 5.2I + 0.20A + 0.25M For the given values of the independent variables, the quantity demanded is, Q = -5200 – 42(500) + 20(600) + 5.2(5500) + 0.20(10000) + 0.25(5000) = 17,650 Calculate the price elasticity of demand = -42 (500/17650) = -1.1898 Calculate demand elasticity for advertising = 0.20 (10,000/17650) = 0.1133 Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand = 20 (600/17650) = 0.6798 Calculate…
