2. Individual and market demand Suppose that Sean and Yvette are the only consumers of shoes in a particular market. The following table shows their annual demand schedules: Price (Dollars per pair) 10 20 30 40 50 PRICE (Dollars per pair) On the following graph, plot Sean's demand for shoes using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Yvette's demand for shoes using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for shoes using the blue points (circle symbol). (?) 60 50 30 20 10 0 0 16 Sean's Quantity Demanded Yvette's Quantity Demanded (Pairs) (Pairs) 32 64 20 48 12 32 4 24 0 16 32 48 64 QUANTITY (Pairs) 80 96 Sean's Demand Yvette's Demand O Market Demand Now, suppose that Yvette's twin brother, who likes shoes just as much a Yvette, moves to the area, adding another consumer in the market. As a result, there will be a ▼ the market demand curve because there will be a change in quantity demanded
4. Movements along versus shifts of demand curves Consider the market demand for donuts. Complete the following table by indicating whether an event will cause a movement along the demand curve for donuts or a shift of the demand curve for donuts, holding all else constant. Event Movement Along Shift A change in tastes of consumers that makes them desire more donuts A decrease in the price of donuts An increase in the number of consumers
5. The elasticity of substitution will be a lower number: (a) The less curved is the indifference curve (b) The more curved is the indifference curve (c) The greater the income elasticity of demand of the good on the horizontal axis (d) The greater the degree of substitutability between the two goods (e) If tastes are both homothetic and quasilinear
6. How would an increase in income for an inferior good affect demand for the good? How would an increase in income for a cheap good affect the demand curve for that good? Show graphically.
5. Complete the sentences: A demand curve shows the quantity demanded at each possible holding the other factors that influence purchases. The quantity demanded is the amount of a good that consumers are willing to given price, holding the other factors that influence purchases. Changes in the quantity demanded in response to changes in price are A change in any relevant factor other than the price of the good causes at a
None
