Refer to the article below: FRONT PAGE College Tuition Up Again College gets more expensive again. In-state tuition at public four-year colleges rose 2.3 percent in 2019-2020, to an average of $10,440 per year. Out-of-state students paid an average of $26,820 to attend. Private four-year colleges also saw even bigger price hikes: 3.4 percent-to an average of $36,880. Tuition prices have been outpacing general inflation rates for many years. Source: The College Board. If tuition keeps increasing at the same rate as in 2019-2020, how much will it cost to complete a degree at a private college in four years (2019-2023)? Hint: Future value = Present value x (1 + Growth in prices) Next year's tuition = This year's tuition x (1 + Growth in prices) Instructions: Round your responses to the nearest whole dollar.

You can drag and drop files here to add them. Consider the public policy aimed at smoking: (a) Suppose studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 2. If the government is able to increase the price of a pack of cigarette from $2 to $3 (through may be, higher taxes), by what percentage will the consumption (demand) of cigarettes decrease? Please show all calculations. (b) Studies also find that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes for higher income earners is more inelastic compared to that of those earning less income.

For Question 16, consider the linear Demand curve illustrated below. price 16. 8.00 A. B. C. D. 0 Demand quantity 84,000 0 If an increase in supply led to a decrease in price from $5.36 to $4.87, total consumer expenditures on this good would increase. decrease. remain constant (i.e., not change). None of the above answers are necessarily correct, since the graph does not convey enough information to determine how total consumer expenditures would change for this decrease in price.

Please answer the following. A diagram and one paragraph should help to support your answer.  Question: With consideration for elasticity (especially PED), what would be one industry in which the government instituting a subsidy would make sense and why?

= D(x) = 23 Espacio en Blanco 1: Espacio en Blanco 2: Espacio en Blanco 3: P = 1 X 20 and the price-supply equation = S(x) P = Given the price-demand equation (A) Find the equilibrium price. Answer: The equilibrium price is $ (use 2 decimal places) (B) The total gain to producers who are willing to supply units at a lower price is $ (C) The total savings to consumers who are willing to pay a higher price for the product is $ = 8+ 1 8000 (round to 2 decimal places) (use 2 decimal places)

Suppose that the demand curve for a product is given by = 100 – 2 Px+a Py, = £20 is the price of another product, and where a Py %3D where Px = £20, where = 8. a) Calculate the demand for good X in this market at the current price level. How much revenue would the firm make? b) If the firm wishes to increase total revenue, would it need to increase or decrease the current price of good X? c) Calculate the cross-price point elasticity between goods X and Y at the current price level. Are the goods complements or substitutes? Note: The writing is clear and abbreviations are not allowed.

From California to New York, legislative bodies across the United States are considering eliminating or reducing the surcharges that banks impose on noncustomers, who make $14 million in withdrawals from other banks’ ATM machines. On average, noncustomers earn a wage of $20 per hour and pay ATM fees of $2.75 per transaction. It is estimated that banks would be willing to maintain services for 5 million transactions at $1.00 per transaction, while noncustomers would attempt to conduct 19 million transactions at that price. Estimates suggest that, for every 1 million gap between the desired and available transactions, a typical consumer will have to spend an extra minute traveling to another machine to withdraw cash.a. Based on this information, what would be the nonpecuniary cost of legislation that would place a $1.00 cap on the fees banks can charge for noncustomer transactions?b. What would be the full economic price of this legislation?

Hula Products has reintroduced the hula hoop to the world and faces a growing demand for its product in two distinct markets: the United States and Europe. Demand in these markets is: PU = 20 - .1QU and PE = 10 - .05QE., where all quantities are expressed in thousands of units (i.e. QU = 50 means 50 thousand units). Hula can produce hoops at no cost. The maximum Hula can produce is 80 thousand hoops. How many should be sent to Europe (QE)? Enter as a value (answer should be between zero and 80).
