This would cause a an increase in 50 100 100 20 50 Plug any value lower than the current number into the Average Income box. A decrease in average income causes a leftward the demand curve. the demand curve and therefore When the prices of tulg or snick change, there is a shift of the demand curve for uff. The directions of these changes imply that snick and uff are , and that tulg and uff are . For example, a Hermetian might say, "I went in my fridge. So instead of having uff for breakfast, I ate some

Question 6 [A new drug called 'LowG', taken together with any food, reduces the glycemic index (a measure of the impact of the food on blood sugar) by 50%. Annual demand for this new medication can be described by the following table:] Quantity (millions of milligrams) 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 Price ($) 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 a) [Rache, a pharmaceutical company, holds the patent on LowG and therefore is the only legal producer of the drug for the next 15 years. Calculate total revenue (TR) and marginal revenue (MR) for Rache at each price. Both Total Revenue (TR) and Marginal Revenue (MR) correctly calculated.

img' (a If po increases, what happens to the demand and supply of public transportation (shifts left/shifts right/doesn’t change) What happens to the equilibrium quantity and price for public transportation? (increase/decrease) (b)At a given price p, as oil becomes more expensive (po increases), does the (own) price elasticity of demand for public transportation increase / decrease / stay the same? (c) Calculate the cross-price elasticity of public transportation demand with respect to the oil price po, at the point p = 1 and po = 2. Are the two goods (public transportation and oil) substitutes or complements, or unrelated?

Creative Homework/Short Project Assume that you arean entrepreneur who runs a bakery that sells glutenfree breads and cakes. You believe that the currenteconomic conditions merit an increase in the price ofyour baked goods. You are concerned. however, thatincreasing the price might not be profitable becauseyou are unsure of the price elasticity of demand for yourproducts. Develop a plan for the measurement of priceelasticity of demand for your products. What findingswould lead you to increase the price? What findingswould cause you to rethink the decision to increaseprices? Develop a presentation for your class outlining(I) the concept of elasticity of demand, (2) why raisingprices without undetstanding the elasticity would bea bad move. (3) your recommendations for measurement. and (4) the potential impact on profits for elasticand inelastic demand
