Question
"Standard tickets for Beyonce’s Renaissance tour went on sale in the UK for a price of
£56 in February 2023. Many fans complained about receiving constant error
messages and being stuck in long on-line queues of more than 500,000 people. In
response to these negative comments a spokesperson for Ticketmaster, the
company in charge of selling the tickets, stated that: ‘There was never going to be enough tickets to meet demand’."
What is a secondary ticketing market, and how does its existence affect the allocation of resources in the market for Beyonce's Renaissance tour tickets? (Include diagram)

- Research has found that the an increase in the price of Coca-Cola would increase quantity demanded for Pepsi. Is the cross elasticity of demand between the two products positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship of Coca-Cola to Pepsi? In addition, research has found that the an increase in the price of hot dog buns would decrease quantity demanded for hot dogs. Is the cross elasticity of demand between the two products positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship between hot dog buns and hot dogs? Please explain in detail your logic for both of these relationships. Also, can you think of another example of products that would behave in similar ways to Coca-Cola/Pepsi and hot dogs/ hot dog buns?arrow_forwardWhen the price of enchiladas is $1.00, a restaurant sells 1200 enchiladas per day. The restaurant decides to increase the price to $1.10 and ends up selling 1100 enchiladas per day. What do we know about the price elasticity of demand for enchiladas at this restaurant from these numbers?

Freshman enrollment declined from 1,500 in fall 2005 to 1,140 in fall 2006. Assuming that the demand curve for places in the freshmen class at Pace did not shift between 2005 and 2006, use this information to calculate the price elasticity of demand. Use the midpoint formula in your calculation. Source: Karen W. Arenson, "At Universities, Plum Post at Top Is Now Shaky," New York Times, January 9, 2007. The price elasticity of demand for Pace University for the fall of 2006 is (Hint: include the negative sign and enter your response rounded to two decimal places) The demand for places in Pace's freshman class is price Calculate the total revenue generated from Pace's freshman class in 2005 S Calculate the total revenue generated from Pace's freshman class in 2006 The total amount of tuition Pace received from its freshman class in 2006 compared with 2005arrow_forward

Profits declined even more - a 49 percent collapse from last year. The reason for this collapse: Apple's introduction of it's large- screen Iphone 6 and price cuts on the IPhone 5. Apple dropped the price of the 16GB IPhone 5s from $199 to $99 and the 8GB IPhone 5s from $99 to a cool $0, with contract. By changing the denominator in each case, compute the percentage change in the 16GB IPhone 5s price, as computed from (a) The initial price (b) The final price (c) The average pricearrow_forward
