Gains from Trade - End of Chapter Problem Between 2016 and 2017, Nintendo produced 2.3 million NES Classic Edition mini consoles that sold out almost immediately as they arrived at stores. The retail price of the mini console was $59.99. However, if you were to check eBay at the time, you would see that people were buying the units for $250 each from scalpers. a. The price of $250 tells scalpers they should continue to buy the console at the store and resell it on eBay for a higher price. O they should keep the consoles they have already purchased and hang onto to them, as they will be considered antiques someday. they should no longer buy and resell the consoles because the price on eBay is too high to make a profit. b. Upon observing that the only way to obtain the gaming console is to buy it on eBay for $250, a consumer might do which of the following? Select all that apply. 000 Consider buying another type of gaming console that is cheaper. Approach a family member about sharing the cost and use of the console. Reconsider purchasing the gaming console. Wait to see if Nintendo will increase production before deciding to make a purchase.

Piper Gene Munster, the person responsible for a survey dedicated to Apple in which he " found" out an estimated number of IPhones that were sold, has come up with yet another interesting theroy. According to Munsterand the past-week Apple announcement about 1 million IPhones sold, the calculations take to the conclusion that after the price cut,the sales increased up to 200%... By Munster's reckoning, Apple and AT&T were selling an averageof 9,000 IPhones a day before the price reduction, which would have put their quarterly sales at 594,00 as of September 5. By the end of the quarter, he believes Apple will have sold a total of 1.28 million Iphones. What was the price elasticity of demand for IPhones in 2007 prior to the price reduction if the percentage change in price was 40%?
