Demand There are two aspects to this analysis, the tuition rates and the financial aid. They must be discussed separately. The evidence shows that the tuition rates have reverse price elasticity of demand. As a consequence, schools that have increased their tuition in recent years have experienced an increase in applicants. There are a few factors at play here. The first is that if our school is a small liberal arts school, it has the same profile as the other schools that have experienced this phenomenon, so we can extrapolate the findings of the other schools to ours. The next factor to consider is that the applicants do not necessarily realize that tuition prices have increases recently. Applicants in 12th grade were not applying in the previous year. Thus, the price increase is essentially hidden from the consumer.

It is clear from the demand curve for university education that a higher...

This message is actually sent by market leaders in the Ivy League and other prestigious institutions that combine a high price with high quality. At the low end, this association for consumers is often reinforced by community college programs or vocational training, which have a lower level of prestige. Consumers assume a relationship between the cost of a degree and the higher pay one will receive in the working world.
If this expected relationship between applicants and price holds, the university should increase its tuition. Doing so will increase the number of applicants. The marginal revenue will increase because the fixed costs associated with educating the students need not increase. There is going to be a point when the relationship will not hold. This point will occur when the tuition is so high that the consumers begin to actively seek out information about the…

Economics Problem Coca-Cola in dispensers located on a golf course sells for $1.25 a can, and golfers buy 1,000 cans. Assume the course raises the price to $1.26 (assume a penny raise is possible) and sales fall to 992 cans. Using the midpoint formula, what is the price elasticity of demand for Coke at these prices? Assume the demand for Coke is a linear line. Would the elasticity of demand be elastic or inelastic

Advertising Effectiveness and Consumer Memory The relationship between psychology and advertising is not a new one -- in fact, it is fundamental to the birth of modern advertising in America. Edward Bernays, the father of marketing, was the nephew of none other than Sigmund Freud, and used Freud's sense that "man was motivated by passion" to manipulate the senses of consumers and plant seeds of desire within consumer memory (Jones, 2000,

Demand planning constitutes an important supply chain management (SCM) attribute affecting various business operations and aspects, from production to distribution, warehousing, the end consumer, and eventually the organisation's bottom line. Generally, demand planning encompasses forecasting demand (Jain & Malehorn, 2012). Effective demand planning is important for aligning inventory with changes in demand and enhancing the accuracy of revenue projections (Chase, 2013). This paper examines the importance of effective demand planning.
