Explain the Geometric Method of Measurement of Elasticity
Explain the Geometric Method of Measurement of Elasticity.
Expert
Geometric or Point method: It developed by Marshall. It is used as a measure of the change in quantity demanded in way to a very small change in the price. Under this method we can measure the elasticity at any of given point on a straight line demand curve using the given formula as:ED = Lower section of the Demand curve/Upper section of Demand curve.
In the given diagram, AB is a straight line demand curve along with P as its middle point. Further this is assumed as AB is 6 cm. so,
ED = PB/PA=3/3=1; at point P
ED = P1B/P1A= 4.5/1.5= 3=>1; at point P1
ED = AB/A= 6/0= α (infinity); at point A
ED = P2B/P2A = 1.5/4.5 = 1/3 = <1; at point P2
ED = B/BA = 0/6 = 0; at point B
Define the Econometric Methods.
What are the types of price discrimination?
What are the operational or internal issues of managerial economics?
Explain the target pricing briefly.
Increasing the wage rate increases total wages received through workers when the demand for labor is: (w) relatively elastic. (x) relatively inelastic. (y) unitarily elastic. (z) perfectly elastic.
What is pricing strategies?
Define the term cost plus pricing.
As is given figure below. Assume that the prevailing price is P1 and the firm is now producing its loss-minimizing quantity. Determine the area which shows the loss: w) P2deP1. x) P3cbP1. y) P3caP0
Screening refers to: (w) employers examining the qualifications of a potential employee before hiring. (x) applicants acquiring additional schooling in order to attain a certain job. (y) employers hiring only people of a certain race or sex. (z) applicants learning as
