- You own a hot dog stand that you set up outside the student union every day at lunch time. Currently, you are selling hot dogs for a price of $3, and you sell 30 hot dogs a day (point A on the diagram). You are considering cutting the price to $2. The graph shows two possible increases in the quantity sold as a result of your price cut. Use the information in the graph (new quantities are given on the horizontal axis) to calculate the price elasticity between these two prices on each of the demand curves. Use the midpoint formula to calculate the price elasticities. A On the demand curve containing the points "A" and "B", the price elasticity of demand for a price cut from $3 to $2 is|.

You only like apples (A) and bananas (B) and your weekly fruit budget is $11. When you arrive at Trader Joe's you notice that the price of an apple is $1.00 and the price of a banana is $0.25. QUESTION #1: How many apples and bananas should you buy? QUESTION #2: When you have found the answer, draw a diagram that shows the outcome. Step #1. Determine your preferences. Let's suppose that your preferences can be represented by the following utility function: U(A, B) = AªBß = A0.40 B0.60 FYI: This utility function is known as a Cobb-Douglas utility function. It is the most commonly used function used in economics! The reason we like it so much is that it has: 1. Constant returns (double your consumption of A and B and your utility doubles); a + B = 1 2. Diminishing marginal utility (the extra utility gained from consuming A (or B) decreases as you consume more of the A good (or B good); a 0.40); B > a.

- The following graph shows the market for hamburgers in Detroit, where there are over 1,000 burger joints at any given moment. Suppose an innovation in meat processing technology makes it possible to produce more hamburgers at a lower cost than ever before. Show the efect of this change on the market for hamburgers by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

- Suppose the market demand for a cup of cappuccino is given by Qp = 24-4P and the market supply for a cup of cappuccino is given by Qs = 8P - 12, where P = price (per cup). Graph the supply and demand schedules for cappuccino. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the demand curve for cappuccino. Label your line 'D'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the supply curve for cappuccino. Label your line 'S'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, plot the equilibrium price and quantity. Label your point 'E'.

Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8. Graph this new supply curve. At what values of P and Q does QD=Q's? Show all working calculations and label garph with…arrow_forward
