When XYZ firm entered the market for good A two years​ back, it kept the price of its product low to attract customers away from

its leading competitor. The firm has now established itself and has a market share of 20 percent. The management of XYZ is planning to increase price of A from the current​ $6 per unit to​ $7 per unit. Timothy​ Walters, the marketing​ head, however, feels this is not a good idea because it will reduce quantity demanded drastically from the current​ 1,200 units to 900 units. His colleague and the head of the sales​ department, Jake​ Mayers, feels that the quantity demanded would only decline by 250 units. According to​ Jake, the firm can afford to increase the price because even after the price increase they would still have significant market share

Answer:

B) The demand for good A is elastic.

Explanation:

Both Timothy and Jake believe that the demand is elastic, Timothy believes the PED = 1.75, while Jake believes the PED = 1.46. The difference is that Timothy believes the demand is more elastic.

Option A is not correct because Timothy believes total revenue will fall while Jake believes it will increase.

Option C is not correct because both believe that their market share will decrease.  

Option D is not correct because both Timothy and Jake are arguing about higher prices, not lower prices.

Option E is not correct because an increase inn the price of a good does not shift the demand curve, it moves the equilibrium point within the given demand and supply curves.

The basic message of _____ is that potential world production is greater with unrestricted free trade than it is with restricted
antiseptic1488 [7]
Lets talk about all the terms. First of all, zero-sum game theory and rational choice theory are mathematical theories that are used to analyze financial phenomena. The first one is against this view and the second one is a general framework that does not say what its stance is; it is certainly not the basic message of rational choice theory. The mercantilist theory is a theory that favors trade restrictions, so this is not the right choice. THe theory of absolute and comparative advantage are related; the first one says that only a country can make a product in a good way, while the second theory claims that eeach country should specialize in what it is best at producing. The comparative advantage theory makes the case that if there are many goods, one should not need to bother to produce those which he is bad at producing; he should produce a surplus of his specialty and then trade with others (and their specialty products). Thus, comparative advantage is the correct choice.
