Brand Loyalty and Unique Features as Factors Reducing Price Sensitivity

Price Elasticity of Demand for a VW Polo

Consider two different products. Product A is a specific brand of salted potato chips sold in a large supermarket with many other chip brands. Product B is a patented medication that is the only effective treatment for a rare disease. If the sellers of both products increase their prices by 15%, for which product would you expect the quantity purchased to decrease more significantly, and why?

A graph plots the cost of a product on its vertical axis against the cumulative production volume on its horizontal axis. The graph uses a special scale where moving one major gridline to the right on the horizontal axis represents a tenfold increase in production volume, and moving one major gridline down on the vertical axis represents the cost being halved. The data on the graph forms a consistent, straight, downward-sloping line. If the cost is $100 per unit when cumulative production is 1,000 units, what is the predicted cost per unit when cumulative production reaches 100,000 units?

Pricing Strategy for Two Businesses

For many years, a single pharmacy was the only one serving a remote town, allowing it to maintain relatively high prices for common over-the-counter medications. Recently, a new competing pharmacy opened in the same town. What is the most likely effect of this new competition on the original pharmacy's customers, and how does this impact the original pharmacy's pricing strategy?
