Determination and interpretation of elasticities

Demand function, QD = -3,500 – 150P + 30A + 75PX + 10 Y
P = 300 cents, A = $750, PX = 200 cents and Y = $10,000
QD = -3,500 – (150 × 300) + (30 × 750) + (75 × 200) + (10 × 10,000)
= -3,500 – 45,000 + 22,500 + 15,000 + 100,000
= 89,000 units

Price elasticity of demand

Price elasticity of demand = ∂QD∂P × PQD

Change in quantity demanded/change in price, ∂QD∂P is the coefficient of price, P in the demand equation.

∂QD∂P = -150
QD = 89,000
P = 300 cents
PED = -150 × 30089,000
= -0.5056
The above price elasticity of demand indicates that the quantity demanded of the low-calorie, microwavable food decreases by 0.5056% for every increase in price by one cent. The elasticity is less ...

Implications of market structure for business and consumers

In a nutshell, economists define a market structure as the characteristics of the market which encompass competitive and organizational characteristics. However, a salient feature used in describing market structures is the number of firms in the market, which in turn dictates the nature of competition and pricing mode. As such, there exist four market structures, which are oligopolistic, monopolistic, perfect competition, and monopoly market structures.
Each of the four market structures reflects a generic characterization of a real type market (Nancy and Kamien, 1982). Undeniably, the market structures direct the behavior of firms in the market. ...

Nursing as a practice has continuously evolved in order to align with the variety of stimuli that influence the profession. These may include new medical treatments and technical systems and dynamic social norms and expectations. One recent trend that has significantly influenced nursing is the need for culturally competent care, a situation attributed to the increasingly dynamic and multicultural society. For this reason, nurses are required to provide culturally competent care in the high-stress and high-acuity environments they operate in (Dayer-Berenson, 2011). This would allow one to improve their skills as patient advocates as they can adequately comply with ...

U.S. Trade Deficit
The US has been running the significant trade deficit over the last four decades. As a result, the country is the biggest debtor in the world with almost $3 trillion net debt.

Actually, the issue is quite controversial and debatable: for example, other researches claim, that trade deficit is merely the result of the effective re-allocation of resources in the global economy and there is no consequences, ...

The Reformation is known as the greatest movement for Christ that began in 1517 and is considered to be the revival of Biblical theology and faith in the New Testament. At that time, the church and people’s faith were challenged, and the religion itself was in decline.

However, the Reformation inspired by Martin Luther led to such changes to the German society as well as to the entire world that no one could imagine. Political, social and economic order ...

“Diversification eliminates unique risk. But there is some risk that diversification cannot eliminate”

QI: Personality Clash

Business and social environments outline the complexity of relationships which are built between individuals, groups and event organizations, and governments.

That said, academic and business literature has been giving a lot of attention to such issues as diversity, internationalization, technology impact ...

The term public health nurse, as was originally intended was to treat social, and economic challenges, not just taking care of the sick individuals.

Dividends and Share Buy-Backs

Dividends refer to the money regularly paid to shareholders by a company. Often the money is paid quarterly. Modigliani and Miller argued that dividends are irrelevant and that they do not affect the value of a firm’s shares.

In recent years, companies have been cutting their payout to shareholders due to the hard economic times in Europe, (Oakley 2016). The interest rates have also reduced to zero or negative favouring borrowing that equity. In the ...

Two offensive operations undertaken by Germany in Ardennes at the beginning and at the end of the WWII in Europe were conceived and executed under very different conditions and resulted in a totally opposite outcome. The 1940 campaign against the allies was an undisputed triumph of the German Blitzkrieg concept. The 1945 offensive was a desperate and illogical move of a leader that had lost touch with reality. The outcome of both actions was pre-determined by the preceding political, military and economic events. The leadership on both sides played an important role as well. Overall, it is safe to ...
