You’ve invented a 3D fax machine. This cool technology is almost like a Star Trek teleporter. You can scan an object at one machine, which creates an exact copy at another 3D fax machine. It is so valuable that as more people use it, it becomes more valuable, and the price any given user is willing to pay increases in turn. Consider a scenario in which there are 12 possible users, who each value the fax machine at i*n, where i is the index of that user (from 1 to 12), and n is the number of other purchasing users. So, if no one buys the 3D fax machine, everyone values it at 0. However, as soon as one person buys the device, then the 12 possible users begin to value the product at 1, 2, … 12, respectively. If 2 people purchase, the 12 possible users’ valuations increase to 2, 4, … 24, and so on. Because…

Subway rides during rush hour The subway system in your city is approximately in equilibrium. Given current schedules, riders don't wait long for a train. Platforms are busy but not overcrowded. In other words, rush-hour fares are such that the quantity of rides supplied is about equal to the quantity demanded. The directors of the system now come up with an idea to get more people out of their cars and into the trains. Each time a rider buys a ride, 50 cents will be automatically deposited into the rider's bank account. The funding for this subsidy is to come from diverting a portion of gasoline taxes now paid by motorists. If this scheme works to increase ridership, the system is ready to provide more rides and to adjust fares as needed to keep the system in approximate equilibrium. When the plan goes into effect, what is likely to happen in the diagram above? Select one: O a. D will increase, resulting in more rides at a higher fare. O b. S will increase, resulting in more rides at…
