1. You've been hired by an unprofitable firm to determine whether it should shut down its unprofitable operation. The firm currently uses 50,000 workers to produce 200,000 units of output per day. The daily wage (per worker) is $80, and the price of the firm's output is $25. The cost of other variable inputs is $400,000 per day.
Suppose the demand function is Q=100-P, where Q is the quantity demand and P is the price. Please calculate the price elasticity at P=10 (by comparing it with a pair of price and quantity at P=20). Calculate the change in total revenue which is P times Q moving from P=10 to P=20. Repeat the same exercise for P=70 versus P=80.
A study found that in California, where car vanity license plates cost $28.75, the elasticity of demand was 0.52. In Massachusetts, where vanity plates cost $50, the elasticity of demand was 3.52.
