9. How will demand for Paradise Lake’s lots change in response to a $1000 increase in the price of competing lots (give the numerical value of it, too)?
10. How will the demand for Paradise Lake lots change in response to a $10000 increase in income (give the numerical value of it, too)?
Explanation / Answer
The demand function is
Ql = 3,536 - 0.5Pl + 0.2Pc + 0.008I + 0.0001A
Now if advertising budget decreases bt $10000, with other thing be constant the demand for Paradise Lake’s lots decreases by 1unit. Just multiply 10000 with 0.0001.
Now if the price of competing lots increases by $1000, with other things be constant the demand for Paradise Lake’s lots increases by 200 units.
Now if income increases by $10000, then with other things be constant, the demand for Paradise Lake lots increases by 80 units.
