Price and Quantity Changes for Beautiful Cars: A Move from Point K to L
To set up the calculation for the price elasticity of demand for Beautiful Cars at point K (where quantity is 18 and price is $32,800), we can analyze a small shift along the demand curve to a new point, L. At point L, the quantity increases to 19. Given that the demand curve has a constant slope of -400, this one-unit increase in quantity corresponds to a price decrease to $32,400.

A market analysis for a new custom bicycle reveals the following data on potential buyers' maximum willingness to pay (WTP): 5 buyers have a WTP of $1,200, 10 buyers have a WTP of $1,000, and 15 buyers have a WTP of $800. If the company sets the selling price at $1,000, what is the total quantity of bicycles demanded?

Price Elasticity Calculation Data for Beautiful Cars (Figure 7.10)
A company sells a luxury automobile. The relationship between the price of the car and the number of cars people are willing to buy can be represented by a straight line. At a price of $50,000, the quantity demanded is 20 cars per month. The slope of this line is -500. If the company lowers the price to sell 22 cars per month, what will the new price be?

Calculating Price Based on Demand Slope
A bicycle manufacturer knows that the demand for its most popular model is linear. Currently, they sell 2,000 bikes per month at a price of $500 each. The slope of the demand curve is -0.1. The marketing department proposes several new sales targets. Which of the following price and quantity combinations is consistent with the product's established demand curve?
Evaluating Competing Sales Projections
A firm sells a product with a demand curve that has a constant slope of -400. The firm is currently selling 18 units at a price of $32,800. A marketing analyst proposes that the firm can increase sales to 19 units by lowering the price to $32,400. This proposal is consistent with the product's demand curve.
