Suppose the market for cars has two segments, businesses and home users. The demand curve for cars by businesses is p = 120 - 40qb
where q is the quantity of cars demanded by businesses with the price is p. The demand curve for cars by home users is p = 40 - 10gh
where q is the quantity of cars demanded by home users when the price is p. Both businesses and home users will never demand negative
amounts of cars, so for sufficiently high prices, the demand will be 0. Which of the following figures represent the market demand curve for
cars?

Q
Demand for Corn Flakes is: P = 14 - Q. Supply of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is: P = 2 + Q. Now a generic company enters the market, selling generic Corn Flakes for $4. Assume consumers are indifferent between generic and Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
When the generic corn flakes enter the market, Kellogg's will sell how many less boxes of their own cereal?
Suppose the aggregate daily demand for campsites in Yosemite Valley is:
Campsites demanded each day = 1000 - 10*price, (q=1000-10p)
where the price is a daily rental rate ($/campsite).
Suppose Yosemite Valley currently has 500 campsites. What would be the benefit (in dollars per day) derived from increasing the number of campsites to 600?

The operator of a local harbour has commissioned your firm to do a market analysis of the demand for berths (parking spaces) for boats. Your firm finds that the price elasticity of demand for berths is –0.8. If the price of a berth in the area decreases by 6%, how will the quantity of berths that people demand change? The number of berths demanded will: Increase by 0.8% Decrease by 7.5% Increase by 6% Increase by 4.8%arrow_forwardEnergy markets, such as the market for natural gas and electricity, have been known to be characterized by inelastic demand. However, recent research discussed in the August 25, 2022 issue of The Economist, indicates that while the responsiveness of quantity demanded in response to price changes indeed is “inelastic” (i.e., the absolute value of price elasticity of demand is still less than 1), the percentage change in quantity demanded in response to a change in price is much larger than earlier research indicated. Answer these narrative questions. No graphs are needed. What does “inelastic demand” formally mean? In addressing this part of the question, please make sure to explain the concept of the price elasticity of demand using a simple formula and by providing a short narrative. Policymakers are encouraging people to conserve energy in response to the growing energy crisis.
