. Empirical estimates suggest the following price elasticity of demand: 0.6 for Coca Cola; 4.0 for foreign vacation travel; and 0.2 for food. Using the determinants of price elasticity of demand, explain why each of these commodities would have these coefficients elasticity. C. JaneK Ghana Ltd., is the main sales agent of Infinix phones in Ghana. The economist of this enterprise has estimated the demand function for the firm's products per week to be of the form: QI = 445 – 2.5PI – 8I + 2.5PC where; QI is the quantity demanded of Infinix phones, PI is its own-price, PT is the price of a related good (Tecno Phones) and I is income. Given that PI = 10, PT = 5 and I = 40, use the above information to: i. Determine the quantity demanded of Infinix phones per week and compute the own-price elasticity of demand for Infinix phones and interpret your results. ii. Based on your answer in (i), what pricing policy would you recommend for the firm in order to maximize its total revenue? iii. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Infinix and Tecno phones, interpret your results and determine the kind of relationship that exists between the two. iv. Compute the income elasticity of demand and determine if Infinix phones are normal goods or not. Explain your results.

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firmâ€™s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.
