Chapter 07 Homework Consider the market for electric vehicles. The market price of each electric vehicle is $340,000, and each consumer demands no more than one electric vehicle. Suppose that Antonio is the only consumer in the electric vehicle market. Their willingness to pay for an electric vehicle is $595,000. Based on Antonio's willingness to pay, the following graph shows his demand curve for electric vehicles.

Jeremy is deeply in love with Jasmine. Jasmine lives where cell phone coverage is poor, so he can either call her on the land-line phone for five cents per minute or he can drive to see her, at a roundâ€”trip cost of 2 in gasoline money. He has a total of 10 per week to spend on staying in touch. To make his preferred choice, Jeremy uses a handy utilimometer that measures his total utility from personal visits and from phone minutes. Using the values in Table 6.6, figure out the points 011 Jeremys consumption choice budget constraint (it may be helpful to do a sketch) and identify his utility-maximizing point.

4. John Stain estimates that the demand curve for his PaneMaster insulated windows is given by 350-2P Q Currently, John is charging $150 per window, including installation. John is considering a sale. Find the price elasticity of demand for PaneMaster Windows and comment on the advisability of a sale. = a) EQp = -0.67 so the consequences of a sale cannot be determined b) Eqp = -0.67, so a sale would increase profits c) EQp = -6.00, so the consequences of a sale cannot be determined d) EQp = -6.00, so a sale would increase profits
Q3. The table below depicts the maximum buying prices and minimum selling prices that potential buyers and sellers have for a horse. Assume that a horse is considered to be a good of the first order. Potential Buyer $300 $280 $260 $240 $220 $210 $200 $180 $170 $150 Al A2 A3 A4 AS A6 A7 A8 A9 A10 Potential Seller $100 $110 $150 $170 $200 $215 $250 $260 Bl B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 (a). Based on the original valuations of potential buyers and sellers in the table above, identify the market clearing price that will bring this market to a state of rest. Provide a description of the important properties of this price. (b). Distinguish between the original valuations with which the market participants enter the market and the momentary valuations that prevail when they engage in exchange. Focusing on the potential sellers, explain why each of them would try to align their momentary valuations with the market clearing price? (c). Assume now that trade takes place at a price that is not the market…

Please helo me with this question There are 50 residents that live in a small town in California. Each resident uses electricity and there is one power station that produces electricity for the residents from coal. Each residents' demand for electricity is Q = 10 - 2P and the supply function for the power plant is Q = 150P. For each unit of electricity that the power station produces, there is a corresponding release of pollution that leads to asthma and other health problems for the 50 residents. The marginal damage of each unit of electricity produced, per person, is $.05. a. What is the market equilibrium price and quantity per unit of electricity? b. What is the efficient Pigouvian tax per unit of pollution? c. The government of this small California town decides to impose the efficient Pigouvian per unit tax on the power station. What is the new social optimum price and quantity per unit of electricity? d. What is the government tax revenue? e. What is the gain in total…
Explain the difference between a positive and a negative network externality. A network externality for a good is positive if O A. the substitution effect of a price change is larger than the income effect, but a network externality is negative if the income effect is larger than the substitution effect. B. consumption by others decreases a typical consumer's marginal utility from consuming the good, but a network extemality is negative if consumption by others increases a typical consumer's marginal utility from the good. c. the price is lower the more people own it, but a network externality is negative if the price is lower the fewer people own it. D. the quantity demanded is higher the more people own it, but a network externality is negative if the quantity demanded is lower the more people own it. O E. it has a complement, but a network effect is negative if it has a substitute. Give an example of each. An example of a positive network externality is the dermand for A. a work of…

A city has built a bridge over a river and it decides to charge a toll to everyone who crosses. For one year, the city charges a variety of different tolls and records information on how many drivers cross the bridge. The city thus gathers information about elasticity of demand. If the city wishes to raise as much revenue as possible from the tolls,where wil lthe city decide to charge a toll: in the inelastic portion of the demand curve, the elastic portion of the demand curve, or the unit elastic portion? Explain.
Mustang has $100 of income per week available for recreational activities, including exercise, movies, restaurant meals, etc. Mustang's health club charges a fee of $4 per hour, and Mustang chooses to use the facility for 10 hours per week. a. Illustrate Mustang's consumption choice in a diagram with health club usage on the horizontal axis and other recreational activities on the vertical axis. b. Now Mustang's health club institutes a new pricing policy. A fixed fee of $30 per week is charged for access to the facilities, but then a rate of $1 per hour is charged for each hour of utilization. Is Mustang better off as a result of this change? Explain your answer using the diagram that you drew in (a).
This figure below shows the payoffs involved when Sarah and Joe work on a school project together for a single grade. They both will enjoy a higher grade when more effort is put into the project, but they also get pleasure from goofing off and not working on the project. The payoffs can be thought of as the utility each would get from the effort they individually put forth and the grade they jointly receive. Serah Lew Effen High Eet Low Effert Joe 15 High Effon The outcome of the game in the figure shown will be: Multiple Choice Joe puts forth high effort and Sarah puts forth low effort. Joe puts forth low effort and Sarah puts forth high effort. Joe and Sarah both put forth low effort. Joe and Sarah both put forth high effort.
