LO3 Tyson’s Meat Glut
Chapter 17
 Tyson Foods, the world’s largest processor, has an
oversupply of meat:
 Lower chicken consumption due to avian flu fears
 Export restrictions to Japan and South Korea
due to mad cow disease
 Mismatch between oversupply and reduced demand has
created tremendous financial losses for the company.
 Tyson produces 25% of meats that Americans eat, and
small price changes impact company profit significantly.
 To reverse trend, company is taking a commodity
approach to the primary business, while marketing more
value-added products.

LO3 Elasticity of Demand
Chapter 17
Elastic
Demand
 Consumers buy more or less
of a product when the
price changes.
Inelastic
Demand
 An increase or decrease in
price will not significantly
affect demand.
Unitary
Elasticity
 An increase in sales exactly
offsets a decrease in prices,
and revenue is unchanged.
Copyright ©2008 by South-Western, a division of Thomson Learning. All rights reserved
27
LO3 Elasticity of Demand
Elasticity (E)
=
Percentage change in quantity
demanded of good A
Percentage change in price of good A
If E is greater than 1, demand is elastic.
If E is less than 1, demand is inelastic.
If E is equal to 1, demand is unitary.
