Suppose that the demand for M&Ms (the candy) has been estimated to be Qm= 96 - Pm+ .6Ph- .43Pc+ .2I where Qmis the number of bags of M&Ms purchased (in thousands), Pmis the price of M&Ms (in cents), Phis the price of a Hershey bar (in cents), Pcis the price of popcorn (in cents) and I is per capita income (measured in thousands). Assume further that the current values for these variables are Qm= 27, Pm= Ph= 80, Pc= 100 and I = 30. Calculate the price elasticity of demand (Ep), the cross-price elasticity of demand with respect to Phand Pcand the income elasticity of demand. Is demand elastic? Are M&Ms and Hersheys substitutes or complements? What about M&Ms and popcorn? Are M&Ms normal, inferior or a luxury good? Explain. What price of M&Ms would maximize the revenue generated by the sale of M&Ms? Explain.
