Suppose that the market for porcelain lupines in Freedonia is perfectly competitive and initially in a long nun equilibrium. Porcelain lupines are normal goods in Freedonia and are produced with a computer aided technology. Porcelain lupines and ceramic roses are substitutes while porcelain lupines and glass vases are complements. Suppose that a government report shows that people who possess ceramic roses are 72.74% more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Describe with the use of diagrams the effects of this report upon the market for porcelain lupines in the short run and in the long run.
Knitex wants to maximize its profits. It produces a product with many substitutes and requires a large share of the consumer's budget. To increase revenues, Knitex has decided to increase the product's price. W which of the following statements is true about Knitex's decisions? * The elasticity of demand for Knitex's product is probably inelastic, so increasing the price will not change the revenue The elasticity of demand for Knitex's product is probably elastic, so increasing the price will decrease revenue The elasticity of demand for Knitex's product is probably inelastic, so increasing the price will increase revenue The elasticity of demand for Knitex's product is probably elastic, so increasing the price will not change the revenue

Is the demand for a particular brand of car, like a Chevrolet, likely to be more or less price-elastic than the demand for all cars? It's likely to be more/less price-elastic because of the availability of substitues/complements
1. Optimal choice of capital Eleanor makes sweaters in her home. Starting with just some knitting needles and yarn, she was able to knit 60 sweaters per year. Now some local stores have expressed interest in her designs and offered to buy her sweaters for $10 each. This makes it worthwhile for her to invest in some capital; in particular, she could produce many more sweaters if she invested in one or more looms, as shown in the following table. Assume that Eleanor's sweater business is a perfectly competitive firm. Complete the following table by calculating the marginal physical product (MPP) of each loom and the marginal revenue product (MRP) of each loom. Quantity of Input (Looms) Output (Sweaters per year) MPP of Each Loom (Sweaters) MRP of Each Loom (Dollars) 0 1 2 3 4 5 60 110 150 184 213 238 50 40 34 29 25 If the rental price of a loom is $270 per year, Eleanor should use 500 400 340 290 250 Suppose the demand for sweaters is very elastic, while the demand for cigarettes is very…
If the demand curve moves to the right as the supply curve also moves to the right( at the same time), then a) Equilibrium price must increase, but equilibrium quantity may either rise, fall or remain unchanged. b)Equilibrium price and quanity must both go down c) The Equilibrium price may either rise, fall or remain unchanged, but the equilibrium quanity must increase. d) Equailibrium price and quanity must both go up. e) none of the above
Blue Co. makes a processor that requires a metal that can only be found in a single mine in Peru. Do you expect the price elasticity of supply for this processor to be elastic or inelastic? Explain in 1-4 sentences.

According to the Law of Elasticity, there are elastic and inelastic markets. If we relate this concept to pricing, under what type of market will it be favorable for us to decrease our price? On the other hand, what type of market will favor an increase in price? Explain
How is it possible for the elasticity of demand to change over time (in the long run)? Explain.
The textbook discusses several things that determine how price elastic the supply of a good or service is. These are known as the determinants of the price elasticity of supply. Changes in these determinants can cause the elasticity of supply to change. The figure below shows a supply curve that starts out perfectly inelastic at S, and then becomes more elastic as it moves to S,, and then to S3. Which of the determinants of the elasticity of supply could this graph be representing? S. Price Quantity Determinant Represented by the Graph Drag appropriate answer(s) here time and the adjustment process %23 the flexibility of buyers change in income the flexibility of producers Drag appropriate answer(s) here Not a Determinant Represented by the Graph
