[10] Suppose a retail seller of jeans currently has 40 customers. The retailer offers the following quantity discount to these 40 customers. Buy the 1* pair of jeans at a price of $100, buy a 2d pair of jeans at a price of $80, buy a 3d pair of jeans at a price of $60, and buy a 4t pair of jeans at a price of $40. Suppose the cost to the retailer for each pair of jeans is $40. Suppose of these 40 customers, all buy the 1ª pair of jeans, 30 of these 40 buy a 2nd pair of jeans, 20 of these 30 (i.e., those who bought a 2nd pair) buy a 3d pair, and 10 of the 20 (i.e., those who bought a 3ªd pair) buy a 4“ pair. The profit to the retailer from selling jeans to these 40 customers in this way equals: А. $4000 В. $4600 С. $6200 D. None of the above [11] In the case of first degree price discrimination, each consumer is charged his/her reservation price. А. True В. False

On April 1, the price of gas at Bob's Corner Station was $4.95 per gallon. On May 1, the price was $5.45 per gallon. On June 1, it was back down to $4.95 per gallon. Between April 1 and May 1, Bob's price increased by or Between May 1 and June 1, Bob's price decreased by or Suppose that at a gas station across the street, prices are always 20% higher than Bob's. In absolute dollar terms, the difference between Bob's prices and the prices across the street is when gas costs $5.45 than when gas costs $4.95. Some economists blame high commodity prices (including the price of gas) on interest rates being too low. Suppose the Fed raises the target for the federal funds rate from 2% to 2.75%. This change of percentage points means that the Fed raised its target by approximately
Define consumer behavior as it relates to patterns of consumption relative to utility, marginal utility, and law of diminishing marginal utility. How does the concept of price elasticity of demand & supply (“PED" &” PES”) relate to consumer choices and it’s influence on total revenue?
What is the current price of gasoline and how many gallons of gasoline do you currently buy per month? How many gallons would you buy next month and how would your behavior change if the price fell by $1.25 per gallon? Also, based on that information, what is your price elasticity of demand for gasoline? Be sure to show how you calculated your price elasticity of demand. current price of gas = $2.53 gallons of gas per month = 72 gallons no change for next month On the average I fill my tank up 3 times a month each time I go I spend $60-$65

8. Substitutes, complements, or unrelated? You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: penguin patties, raskels, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of penguin patties decreases by 1%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 18% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 3%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between penguin patties and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together. Complete the first column of the following…
1.(a) Derive own-price elasticity of demand (eii), income elasticity of demand (hi) and cross-price elasticity of demand (eij) for the Cobb-Douglas Utility Function. (b) With respect to Cobb Douglas preferences, what happens to the demand for each of two products (x and y) when the price of product y increases, as a result of: (i) the substitution effect; (ii) the income effect; and, (iii) the overall price effect?
You have been asked to analyze what will happen to the New England market for electricity if the Winter 2022-23 (December 2022 through February 2023) results in much colder temperatures than Winter 2021-22 (December 2021 through February 2022), causing all residential customers to scramble for more electricity than they would typically need to heat their homes. Using your graph from Question 2, analyze the impact of this change in consumer desire for more electricity. Clearly show any shifts in demand and/or supply curve(s) that came about because of this exit. Label any shifted curves as D2 and/or S2. Clearly show the new market equilibrium. Label the new equilibrium price as P2 and equilibrium quantity transacted as Q2

I. For the normal good, make a (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your own household. For the same normal good, make another (Hypothetical) linear demand schedule with 7 different price points and corresponding quantity demanded for your neighbor. Assuming that you and your neighbor are the only two households in the market, make a market demand schedule for the same normal good. Draw and interpret a graph to show the market demand and impact of changes in quantity demanded, if price of the same normal good decreases.
6. John consumes strawberries and cream together and in the fixed ratio of two boxes of strawberries to one cartons of cream. At any other ratio, the excess goods are totally useless to him. The cost of a box of strawberries is $10 and the cost of a carton of cream is $10. At an income of $300, what is John's demand on cream and strawberry?
