Describe the situation in the gum market and explain how the price adjusts. At p=70, there is a surplus (excess supply), and we should expect the price to go down. b. Suppose that the price of gum is 30¢ a pack. Describe the situation in the gum market

000 + 1,250 = 17,650 Price of the product elasticity= -42(500/17,650)= -1.19. The price of the microwaveable food product is elastic, meaning that the price of the product will affect the demand. As the price of the product increases, the demand for the frozen microwaveable food will decrease as well as if the price of the microwaveable food decreases, the demand for them will increase. Cross elasticity= 20(600/17,650) = .68. The cross elasticity, or the price of the leading competitive product

EGT1 Task Two A-Elasticity of Demand can be defined as the varying degree of demand of a service or good, with respect to its price fluctuation. In most scenarios, a drop in price can result in an increase and demand, and vice versa. Most secondary and tertiary needs will be subject to increased elasticity, however primary needs remain unchanged in most scenarios. High price elasticity indicates heavy dependency on price in determining demand. High price inelasticity is the

business objective. (13) Marketing is the management process that identifies, anticipates and satisfies customer needs profitably. It ensures a business has the right product, at the right place, at the right time and at the right price.

Market research can be used to evaluate the success of marketing activities that David has already conducted, this will allow him to see whether they are helping

4 Elasticity: A Measure of Responsiveness Chapter Summary This chapter explored the numbers behind the laws of demand and supply. The law of demand tells us that an increase in price decreases the quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. If we know the price elasticity of demand for a particular product, we can determine just how much less of it will be purchased at the higher price. Similarly, if we know the price elasticity of supply for a product, we can determine just how much more of it will be

frozen foods. We have collected data from approximately 26 supermarkets across the country for the month of April. The firm will attempt to pinpoint an estimate of our consumer demand to aid us in making our next move. First, we will compute the elasticities of all independent variables in our demand regression equation: QD= -5200-42P+20Px+5.2I+0.2A+0.25M. Those independent variables include quantity demanded, price of our product, price of the competitor’s product, income, advertising expenditures
