Calculation of Arc Price Elasticity of Demand

Question

Eastern Airlines offers coach seats on its flight from Milwaukee to New York for $250. Sales have averaged 700 per day during the last year. Eastern’s primary competitor (Continental Airlines) cut their prices from $220 to $200. The quality of travel is the same between airlines (no special cookies!). However, due to brand loyalty, the prices are not the same. Eastern Airlines witnessed a decrease in traffic from 720 to 650.

If Eastern Airlines knows the arc price elasticity of demand for its airplane tickets is -2.12, what price would they have to charge in order to obtain the same level of sales as before Continental’s price cut?

Summary

This question belongs to micro economics and discusses about arc price elasticity of demand between products.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes

1. While solving a case study on nursing ethics I was confused as in what stand to take. I did not have any idea what should have been an ideal solution to the given problem. Then when I approached HelpwithAssignment.com, I found out that their online nursing tutors are actually working professionals and they gave fantastic explanations.

Betty Jones Student

I was very impressed by the time and effort that was given by the economics assignment expert for my Keynesian Multiplier Model Assignment essay. He was available at any time of the day to help provide answers for any queries I might have had with the topic. He also never complained about any changes or inclusions that I would suggest. My experience with HwA has been definitely a lot better than the other online assignment help provider services.

Eric Chang Student

The online Visual C++ programming assignment expert assigned to me by HwA for the assignment help request that I had submitted actually stuck to all the criteria that was to be met for the assignment. He was available at all times of the day in case I needed to discuss any additional points that may have been discussed in class.

To be honest, chemical engineering is not my field. However, I had to deal with heat transfer assignments during one of my metallurgy assignments. The experts here are spot on and helped me get good grades without any hassle. The experience had been wonderful to say the least.

Peter Crow Student

I was stuck badly with my mechanical engineering kinetic energy assignment when I started searching online. Obviously I was not being able to find anyone who is from New Zealand who can actually help me out. But luckily I bumped into HwA where I saw they have engineering experts from New Zealand and was somewhat relieved. Moreover, the thing that made me a fan and a regular client of HwA is that from the first assignment onwards I got excellent grades.
