Question

I'm waiting for the answer desperately

It's in environmental economic textbook, kolstad.

You have been commissioned to estimate the demand curve for admission to
EuroLand, an amusement park in France. To do this, you spend a day surveying visi-
tors to the park. Before doing this, you divide the area around the park into 10 zones
with the distance from the park approximately constant within a zone. You ask each
person you interview where they come from. Based on that information, and figures
on annual attendance at the park, you are able to calculate the annual number of visi-
tors from each zone. Your data are shown below:

You note that admission to EuroLand is 150 euros per person. You also calculate
hat transportation costs, including time costs, are approximately 1/2 euro per person
ber kilometer in each direction. Ignore the value of time in the park
Calculate the demand curve for visits to EuroLand, showing visits as a function of
he entry price. How many fewer visitors would you expect there to be if the manage-
nent raised the admission fee to 200 euros?
