Suppose that new entry decreased your demand elasticity from -2 to -4 (made demand more elastic). By how much should you adjust your price of $10? (Hint: Use the markup formula to solve.)

9. Price elasticity of demand is found to be (-) 2. Price falls from 10 per u unit to 8 per unit. Find the percentage change in quantity demanded.
