5. Quick Freeze Inc. sells small 'easy carry' coolers suitable for chilling beer and soft drinks. They also sell and packets of dry ice in sealed 16 oz. containers for use in the coolers. Last month Quick Freeze ran a 'welcome baseball season, cooler sale, and reduced the price of dry ice packets from $2.00 to $1.00. As a consequence, sales of easy carry coolers increase from 15 per day to 25 per day. On the basis of this information, which of the following is true? a. Ny = -1.5 and coolers and dry ice are complements. b. Nxy = -.75 and coolers and dry ice are complements. c. nxy = .75 and coolers and dry ice are substitutes. d. Nxy 1.50 and coolers and dry ice are substitutes. %3D

13. The table below gives part of the supply schedule for personal computers in the United States. Price Quantity Supplied before tech change Quantity Supplied after tech $1,100 $900 12,000 8,000 change 13,000 9,000 a) Calculate the price elasticity of supply when price rises from $900 to $1,100 using the arc elasticity formula (the midpoint method). b) Now suppose that technology changes such that at every price, 1000 more computers are supplied. Now, as prices rise from $900 to $1,100, is the elasticity of supply smaller than, larger than, or equal to the elasticity in part a)? c) Does the change in b) change the slope of the supply curve? Are slope and elasticity the same thing? Explain.
3. Suppose that you operate a parking lot in downtown Milwaukee. Your cost for allowing another vehicle to park in your lot is virtually zero – therefore, the only thing you care about is getting as much revenue as you possibly can. Price per hour |A $6 B 5. 4 2 1 G 200 300 400 500 600 100 Hours per day a. Suppose that you raise the price of parking from $3 to $4. Draw the price effect and the quantity effect on the graph. b. Calculate the price effect and the quantity effect (note that the sign of each effect is important)! c. Is your demand curve elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic between $3 and $4? Given that you want to raise as much revenue as possible, do you want to raise the price from $3 to $4?

Price of tin and silicone decrease affecting the market for iPhones A)Decrease in supply B)Decrease in demand C)Increase in supply D)Increase in demand
How would a decrease in the cost of production affect the market for new washing machines? O Supply would decrease, leading to a reduction in price and a reduction in quantity sold. O Supply would increase, leading to a reduction in price and an increase in quantity sold. Supply would decrease, leading to an increase in price and a reduction in quantity sold. Supply would increase, leading to an increase in price and an increase in quantity sold.

3. Suppose the price elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.2 in the short run and 0.7 in the long run. If the price of gasoline rises 28 percent, what effect on quantity demanded will this have in the short run? In the long run?
9. In recent years, the number of car producers in China has increased rapidly. In fact, China now has more car brands than the United States. In addition, car sales have climbed every year and automakers have increased their output at even faster rates, causing fierce competition and a decline in prices. At the same time, Chinese consumers' incomes have risen. Assume that cars are a normal good. Draw a diagram of the supply and demand curves for cars in China to explain what has happened in the Chinese car market.
