Section A

Qns 1;-What are the various factors which may influence the demand for intermediate goods like cables? Explain the most appropriate method of forecasting the demand for such an item.

 

Section B:- 

CASE STUDY

In early 1991, there was a sharp increase in the price of newsprint, the paper used by the newspapers. Since newsprint is the largest expense for India newspapers (after salaries) publishers were concerned about the price hike. Suppose that the demand for newsprint can be represented as follows:

Qi = 17-3 -- 0-0092 p +0-0067
Where Q. equals the quantity demanded (in kilograms per capital), P is the price of newsprint (in Rs. per metric ton) and I is the income per capita (in Rs.),

Question

Q1. If there are 1 million people in the market, and if per capita income equals Rs. 10,000 what is the demand curve for newsprint?

Q 2. Under these circumstances, what is the price elasticity of demand if the price of newsprint equals Rs. 400 per metric ton? 

Q3.  According to a study, the demand curve for newsprint in India is:

                 Q2 = 2672 -- 0-51 p

Where, Q2 is the number of metrix tons of newsprint demanded (in thousand). What is the price elasticity of demand for newsprint in India if price equals Rs. 500 per metric ton?
