1. As a transit planner for the city of Miami, you must predict how many people ride the Miami Metrorail and how much money is generated from train fares. According to a recent study, the short-run elasticity of demand for Metrorail is 0.62 and the long- run elasticity is 1.59. The current ridership is 50,000 people per day. Suppose the city commission decides to increase fares by 10%. Predict the changes in train ridership over a one-month period and a five-year period. ANS: b. Over the one-month period, will total revenue increase or decrease? What will happen in the five-year period? ANS

Why do we say goods become more elastic over time? Question 9 options: people's incomes will increase, and so the elasticity of demand decreases. the good's price will have a chance to return to its previous level. people can find more substitutes, and so the elasticity of demand decreases. people can find more substitutes, and so the elasticity of demand increases.

What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65
