For each of the following scenarios, begin by assuming that all demand factors are set to their original values and Oceans is charging $350 per room per night. If average household income increases by 20%, from $50,000 to $60,000 per year, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Oceans from rooms per night to ( rooms per night. Therefore, the income elasticity of demand is , meaning that hotel rooms at the Oceans are If the price of an airline ticket from MSY to ACY were to increase by 20%, from $250 to $300 roundtrip, while all other demand factors remain at the initial values, the quantity of rooms demanded at the Oceans from ( rooms per night to rooms per night. Because the cross-pric elasticity of demand is hotel rooms at the Oceans and airline trips between MSY and ACY are Oceans is debating decreasing the price of its rooms to $325 per night. Under the initial demand conditions, you can see that this would cause its tot revenue to Decreasing the price will always have this effect on revenue when Oceans is operating on the portion of it demand curve.
