The following graph input tool shows the daily demand for hotel rooms at the Lakes Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. To help the hotel management better understand the market, an economist identified three primary factors that affect the demand for rooms each night. These demand factors, along with the values corresponding to the initial demand curve, are shown in the following table and alongside the graph input tool. Demand Factor Average American household income Roundtrip airfare from New Orleans (MSY) to Atlantic City (ACY) Room rate at the Mountaineer Hotel and Casino, which is near the Lakes Initial Value $40,000 per year $250 per roundtrip $250 per night Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.

Apply your understanding of the previous key terms by completing the following scenario with the appropriate terminology. Your boss would like your help on a marketing research project she is conducting on the relationship between the price of soda and the quantity of soda demanded. He hands you the following document: Price of Soda (Dollars per can) 0.50 0.75 1.00 1.25 Quantity of Soda Demanded (Billions of cans) 2,000 1,500 1,000 750 Your task is to take this and construct a graphical representation of the data. In doing so, you determine that as the price of soda rises, the quantity of soda demanded decreases. This confirms the
A firms sells good Q and has reported sales data where at a price of P = 10, the firm sold 16 units and at a price of P = 14, the firm sold 11.2 units. What is the linear equation for demand? Q = 68.6 6.1P Q = 60-4.4P Q = 28-1.2P Q 18.4 0.4P
The function Q = F(p,ps,y) describes how the monthly demand, Q (measured in 100s of Widgets), for Grinch Inc. Widgets depends on the variables: • p = the price/Widget that Grinch Inc. sets (measured in $). • Ps= average price of substitutes for Grinch Inc. Widgets (measured in $). • y = average disposable income in the market for Widgets (measured in $1000s). When average disposable income in the market is $4200 and Grinch Inc.s price is $12 and the average price of substitutes is $11... ● Q = 66 •Op=-0.28 2ps = 0.52 ● Qy = 0.31 If average monthly income increases to $4400 and the average price of substitutes increases to $11.35, by approximately how much can Grinch Inc. increase their price while keeping demand for their Widgets fixed at Q = 66 ?

A certain manufacturer has determined that the weekly demand and supply functions for their product are given by the equations: supply: p=-2x² +80 demand: p = 15x+30 where z represents the quantity demanded in units of a thousand and p is the unit price in dollars. Find the market equilibrium (equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity).
Suppose that during the past year, the price of a virtual reality headset fell from $4,350 to $3,930. During the same time period, consumer sales increased from 386,000 to 487,000 headsets
The inverse demand for good X is given by Px=25-0.005Qx+0.15Py+0.1I where Px is the price of X, Py is the price of Y, I is income, and Qx is the quantity demanded of good X. The inverse demand is just price as a function of quantity instead of quantity as a function of price. To get the demand function, just solve the equation for Qx. You should do this before answering the following. Goods X and Y are . . . .. . . .. . . .. . . . .. . . . X is a . . .. . . . .. . . good.
The following graph shows the market for cereal in New York City, where there are over 1,000 stores that sell cereal at any given moment. Suppose the Surgeon General issues a public statement saying that consuming cereal is bad for your health. Show the effect of this change on the market for cereal by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. Supply Demand Supply Demand QUANTITY (Boxes) Now suppose Congress passes a tax cut that increases the income of New York City residents. If cereal is a normal good, this will cause the demand for cereal to PRICE (Dollars per box)
The demand function for potatoes per month is given by Q = 104 – 40p + 20pt + 0.01Y, where Q = the quantity of potatoes, p = price of potatoes, pt = price of tomatoes, and Y = income per month. Pt is currently $0.80 per pound). Derive the demand curve for potatoes from the data provided when income is $4,000 per month. Derive the new demand curve when income increases to $5,000 per month. ON a graph show the change in the demand curve resulting from the growth in income.
Elena consumes bundles of food and transportation. In order to understand her behavior, we use a graph of her consumption space in which we draw two axes. We measure food in the horizontal axis and transportation in the vertical axis. Which of the following bundles has the largest amount of food (if the bundles are written consistently with the way we graph consumption)? (80, 100) (99,150) (100,80) (95,95) (98,98)
