5) Suppose you're an economist for a private university, and the Board of Trustees tasks you with determining how much a tuition increase would impact university enrollment for different types of students. The proposed tuition increase is 10%. The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for legacy students, that is, students whose parents graduated from the university, is 0.15 and for nonlegacy students is 0.33. The demand curve for legacy students is elastic than the demand curve for nonlegacy students. The rise in tuition would lower student enrollment by %. for non legacy studens Less; 1.5 Less; 3.3 More; 1.5 More; 3.3 01

Assume there are two goods in an economy, gasoline and petrodiesel that are substitutes in consumption but complements in production. Gasoline demand and supply are: Qdg = 750 – 45Pg+ 30Pp and Qºg = 30Pg+ 15PP where Pg is price of gasoline and Pp price of petrodiesel. Petrodiesel demand and supply are: Qdp = 1,495 – 40PÞ+ 23Pg and Q®p = 25Pp + 10P| A. Is demand-side link dominant or supply-side link? Explain in 1 or 2 sentences.
The consumer demand equation for tissues is given by q = (110 - p)2, where p is the price per case of tissues and q is the demand in weekly sales. (a) Determine the price elasticity of demand E when the price is set at $26. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) E-0.619 Interpret your answer. The demand is going down by 0.619 % per 1% increase in price at that price level. (b) At what price should tissues be sold to maximize the revenue? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $37 x (c) Approximately how many cases of tissues would be demanded at that price? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 5329 X cases per week
Question 4 For a particular good, a 5% increase in price causes a 15% decrease in quantity demanded. Which of the following statements is most likely applicable to this good? Group of answer choices There are many substitutes for this good. This good is a necessity. Buyers tend to spend only a very small portion of their budget on this good. The relevant time horizon for this good is short.

A study of the effects of the minimum wage on employment of low-skilled workers estimated the price elasticity of demand for low-skilled workers is -0.75. Suppose that the government is considering raising the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $7.75 per hour. Based on this information, calculate the percentage change in the employment of low skilled workers. Use the midpoint formula?
Suppose Nationwide increases the insurance premium they charge for their auto policies by 8 percent. In response, the demand for State Farm auto policies in a small town increases from 6,000 to 6,900. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand for State Farm auto policies in this town? Using the midpoint formula, the cross-price elasticity of demand for State Farm auto policies (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places) In this instance, auto insurance from Nationwide and auto insurance from State Farm are
Ab 32 Economics Elasticity is the relationship between price and available quantity in an economic market. Choose any three products. Then classify and describe their price elasticity of demand (relatively inelastic, relatively elastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, unitary elastic). Be sure to include three different types of elasticity. Discuss what happens to demand for each product when there is a price change. With customers in mind, which elasticity applies to your selected business? Explain why did you s
If gas prices rose from $3 to $4 a gallon and gasoline consumption decreased by 50% Group of answer choices demand for gasoline is elastic. demand for gasoline is inelastic. total expenditures on gasoline would fall. Question 2 The greater the price elasticty of driving Group of answer choices an increase in the price of gas would have a greater effect on traffic congestion an increase in the price of gas would have no effect on traffic congestion the smaller the decrease in traffic congestion when the price of gasoline rises.
