Scenario

As an economic consultant at Lightning Volt Automotive, you are asked to evaluate consumer price elasticity of demand and determine whether consumers are sensitive to increases in price, which could help determine pricing schedules in the short run. Also, you will calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Lightning Volt Automotive and Ford Motor Company as well as the relationship between both firms. Lightning Volt Automotive needs to analyze the optimal number of employees to hire to ensure that a higher return is earned since labor wages, on average, account for 35% of initial production costs.
