3 - From the following data about the demand for dishwashers, calculate the elasticity of demand from point A to B, from point C to D and from point E to point F. Classify the elasticity as elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic. Also calculate the total revenue of each point. What happens to total revenue as you approach unitary elasticity? If cost were not an issue what price would you choose for your selling price?

Ethel Simpson owns Fine Lines, a furniture company in Boone, NC. Among other products, Fine Lines produces rocking chairs. Assume this is a competitive industry. Fine Lines’ total cost of producing rocking chairs per day is related to production of rocking chairs per day as follows.

  1. Assume the market price is $650 per rocking chair. (In computing quantities, assume that Fine Lines produces only a certain number of completed chairs each day; it does not produce fractions of a chair on any day.)

(1) How many rocking chairs should Fine Lines produce?

(2) How much profit will Fine Lines make?

(3) Draw a graph to illustrate your answer. Your graph should be clearly labeled and should include Fine Lines’ demand for rocking chairs and the ATC, AVC, MC and MR curves, the price Fine Lines is charging, and the quantity of rocking chairs Fine Lines is producing. (I don’t care if you draw to scale, but I do want your graph to show the correct relationships between the cost curves and the market price and among the different cost curves.) Either on your graph or verbally, indicate the area that identifies the profit or loss.

  1. Assume the market price falls to $450. Answer the same 3 questions I asked in part A.

  1. Assume the market price falls to $350. Answer the same 3 questions I asked in part A.

  1. Assume the market price falls to $250. Answer the same 3 questions I asked in part A.
