Yogurt Factory has reduced the price of its popular Mmmm Sundae from $2.25 to $1.75. As a result‚ the firm’s daily sales of these sundaes have increased from 1‚500/day to 1‚800/day. Compute the arc price elasticity of demand over this price and consumption quantity range. Arc Price Elasticity = (Q₂ - Q₁ / P₂ - P₁) * (P₂ + P₁ / Q₂ + Q₁) Q₁ = 1500 Q₂ = 1800 P₁ = 2.25 P₂ = 1.75 Answer: [(1800 - 1500)/(1.75 – 2.25)] * [(1.75 +2.25)/ (1800 + 1500)] (300/-.5) * (4/3300) = 1200/-1650 = -.7272

Demand Function Consumer’s demand for an item is the result of a wide variety of forces. In mathematical terms‚ the demand function for product X can be symbolized as where = total quantity demanded of product X (in units) = price of product X = measure of the prices of the brands and products that are substitutes for product X = measure of the prices of the brands and products that are complementary to product X = index of consumers’ tastes and preferences = level of advertising
