(c) Lara offers 100 autograph bats. If each is priced at p dollars, it is that the demand curve for the bast will be p = 250 − q/4 . If price elasticily is E(p) = dq/q ÷ dp/p . When |E(p)| < 1, demand is inelastic and when |E(p)| > 1, demand is elastic. (i) Find the price elasticity of demand for Lara′ s bats. (ii) Is demand inelastic or elastic?
3. Garibaldi Provincial Park is located between Squamish and Whistler. A travel cost survey was completed to estimate demand for trips to the park. Bascd on the survey an estimated demand function was derived to represent an average household: P= 200 – 50Q. This is demand per year per household. If there are approximately 2000 households with a travel cost of $150, 3000 households with a travel cost of $100, and 4000 households with a travel cost of $50, what is the total consumer surplus per year from the park?
Average visits per week equal 640 when the copayment is $40 and 360 when the copayment rises to $60. Calculate the percentage change in visits, percentage change in price, and price elasticity of demand.
Consider the demand function for bicycles in South Florida: Q = 24 + 3Y – 1.2P where: Q is quantity demanded, Y is monthly income, and P is the price per unit. If/when P = $54, and Y = $2,300, (a) Find the quantity of bicycles that would be sold. (b) Calculate the amount of the seller's total revenue. (c) Compute the price-elasticity of demand (Ep) for bicycles. (d) Interpret your result in (c). (e) Compute the income-elasticity of demand (Ey) for bicycles. (f) Interpret your result in (e).
Table 7-4 For each of the three potential buyers of oranges, the table displays the willingness to pay for the first three oranges of the day. Assume Allison, Bob, and Charisse are the only three buyers of oranges, and only three oranges can be supplied per day. Willingness to Pay (Dollars) First Orange Second Orange Third Orange Allison 2.00 1.50 0.75 Bob. 1.50 1.00 0.60 Charisse 0.75 0.25 0.00 Refer to Table 7-4. If the market price of an orange is $0.90, then the market quantity of oranges demanded per day is
Beta's Price Policy High Low A $20 B $30 High Alpha's $20 $10 Price Policy C $10 D $15 Low $30 $15 Help Save & Exit Submit Refer to the diagram, where the numerical data show profits in millions of dollars. Beta's profits are shown in the northeast corner and Alpha's profits in the southwest corner of each cell. If Alpha and Beta agree to a high-price policy through collusion, the temptation to cheat on that agreement is demonstrated by the fact that Multiple Choice Beta can increase its profit by lowering its price. Beta can increase its profit by increasing its price still further.
Q55 Brazil is the largest soybean producer in the world. Covid-19 has played havoc for the global soybean market. What combination of changes in supply of soybeans and demand for soybeans in the global market would most likely increase the equilibrium quantity? Multiple Choice when supply of soybeans decreases and demand for soybeans decreases when supply of soybean increases and demand for soybeans increases when supply of soybeans decreases and demand for soybeans increases when supply of soybeans increases and demand for soybeans decreases when there is a shortage of soybeans
A movie theater has been charging $ 10.00 per person and selling about500 tickets on Saturday and Sunday nights. After surveyingtheir customers, theater owners estimate that for every 50 cents theylower the price, the number of attendees will increase by 50 per night.Find the demand function and calculate the consumption surplus whentickets are sold for $ 8.00.
Consider the public policy initiatives aimed at curbing smoking in Australia. a) Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about -0.20. If a packet of cigarettes currently costs $25 and the Australian Government wants to reduce smoking by 15%, by how much should it increase the price? b) If the Australian Government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking 1 year from now or 5 years from now? c) Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity than do adults. Why might this be the case?
A website offers a place for people to buy and sell emeralds, but information about emeralds can be quite imperfect. The website then enacts a rule that all sellers in the market must pay for two independent examinations of their emerald, which are available to the customer for inspection. How would you expect this improved information to affect demand for emeralds on this website? How would you expect this improved information to affect the quantity of high-quality emeralds sold on the website?
