Answer:
d. .64.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against change in the price of given product. It measures the ratio of change in demand to change in price.
Change in demand = ( 2200 - 2000 ) / [ (2200+2000)/2 ] = 200 / 2100 = 0.0952
Change in price = ( 1.25 - 1.45 ) / [ (1.25+1.45)/2 ] = 0.2 / 1.35 = 0.148
Elasticity of Demand = Change in demand / change in price = 0.0952 / 0.148 = 0.643 = 0.64
Answer:
The correct answer is option II and III only.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is a market structure where there is a large number of buyers and sellers. The sellers in this market sell differentiated products which are close substitutes.
There is a very low restriction on the entry of new firms in the market. Because of differentiated products each firm has some degree of market power. The firms face a downward-sloping demand curve. This means that the firms decide the price level.
Though the firms enjoy zero economic profits in the long run.
Answer: False
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.
The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.
Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price
0.5 = -6% / Change in price
0.5 * Change in price = -6%
Change in price = -6% / 0.5
= -12%
The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
<em>Total Product offer </em>is every aspect of a product which the customer evaluates before buying.
From strategic marketing viewpoint, the customer may evaluate the product on both the tangible and intangible attributes.
An example of this is the iPhone by Apple. On tangible level, the product itself, the packaging and others are tangible attributes that a customer may evaluate. On intangible level, the brand name, perceived benefits, convenience, purchase services, and many other factors are part of the iPhone as the intangible attributes that the customer will evaluate.
As a marketer, one should think and talk in the language of customers- let it be from either tangible or intangible point of view.
