1a) Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the degree of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a given change in price of the good itself‚ ceteris paribus. It is found by taking the percentage change in quantity demanded of good X divided by the percentage change in the price of good X. The numerical value of the price elasticity of demand is always negative due to the inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price as stated in the law of demand. When we interpret

3. Demand and Price Elasticity It is important to understand how price changes affect the demand of fast food especially for firm like McDonald that operates in a Monopolistic Market. When McDonalds offers its discounted Value Meal during lunch and dinner hours‚ the demand for McDonald’s products will increase. According to the law of demand‚ other things equal‚ the quantity demanded of a goods increases when the price of the good falls. (N.Geogory Mankiw et al.‚2013). A change in price will affect

To give some more debt to this answer‚ I found it convenient to use the PESTEL analysis as a tool to identify the key macro-environmental factors that were relevant for McDonalds when they entered India‚ and then shortly comment on each of them what McDonalds did that was so good.

However‚ it remains unclear whether the price elasticity of the demand for computers is constant over time. Findings on the pattern of price elasticity will have important implications in the study of information technology

CHAPTER 5 REVIEW QUESTIONS (# 1-5) 1. With an increase in demand for medical services‚ how will different supply elasticities affect total medical expenditures? An increase in demand will affect prices and quantity of services differently because it depends on the elasticity of supply. When supply is relatively elastic‚ increase in demand will be accompanied by a price increase‚ but it would be much less if supply were inelastic. Under elastic supply conditions‚ a much greater increase in

What is the formula for measuring price elasticity of demand? Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price When the price elasticity coefficient is less than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is smaller than the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is equal to 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the change in price. When the price elasticity coefficient is greater than 1‚ the percentage change in quantity demanded

In general‚ businesses are aware of demand curves; however‚ it is rare that they actually know how to recognize those curves. In order to make sound business decisions‚ it is important to be able to recognize certain elements of a demand curve. For instance‚ if Apple raised its prices by five percent‚ what would happen to its revenues? The answer to this question depends on the response of Apple consumers. Will the consumer refrain from making purchases completely or just cut back on them? How a

What Are the Factors That Affect Inventory? Often it is said that by avoiding process‚ design‚ operational and management problems‚ inventory can be avoided but it is not always so. These are some basic reasons for the growth of inventory which is not at all desirable by any firm. But there are many more factors which can lead to the growth of inventory and they need to be dealt with to avoid losses in the future. Some factors have long term impact on inventories so it is imperative to recognize
