Price of the product comes from the production of the goods all the way till it hits the market shelf. So when the price of the product like coffee increases during the productivity of the product then the end

1. Compute the elasticities for each independent variable. Note: Write down all of your calculations. When P = 500‚ C = 600‚ I = 5500‚ A = 10000 and M = 5000‚ using regression equation‚ QD = -5200 - 42*500 + 20*600 + 5.2*5500 + 0.2*10000 + 0.25*5000 = 17650 Price elasticity = (P/Q)*(dQ/dP) From regression equation‚ dQ/dP = -42. So‚ price elasticity EP= (P/Q) * (-42) = (-42) * (500 / 17650) = -1.19 Likewise‚ EC = 20 * 600 / 17650 = 0.68 EI = 5.2 * 5500 / 17650 = 1.62

Price discrimination Price discrimination is the practice of selling the same product at different prices to different customers‚ when there is no difference in the cost to produce the product. Price discrimination is done to maximize profits. This occurs when market prices are set differently to different buyers‚ according to the willingness of each buyer to pay (demand curve) rather than setting a uniform price. It can be seen in the image below how if the seller kept the uniform price of Africa’s

A. If the price of natural gas‚ a resource used by manufacturers throughout the United States‚ were to double‚ the cost of production of notebooks would most likely increase as well. This would then lead to a decrease in supply (a shift to the left). Changes in Equilibrium of Notebooks Price: Increase Quantity: Decrease Determinant: (ROTTEN) Resource: cost and availability B. If the government were to provide a subsidy for notebook manufacturers‚ the cost of production would
