Multiple answers may be correct: **Understanding Demand Elasticity: Key Concepts**Elasticity in economics refers to how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to changes in price. This concept is crucial for making informed decisions on pricing strategies, revenue projections, and understanding market dynamics. Below are some key insights related to demand elasticity:1. **D-Flat is elastic and D-Steep is inelastic** - When D-Flat is described as elastic, it means that a small change in price leads to a large change in the quantity demanded. - Conversely, D-Steep being inelastic implies that a change in price leads to a relatively smaller change in the quantity demanded.2. **D-Flat and D-Steep are both elastic** - This statement would imply that both demand curves (D-Flat and D-Steep) exhibit high sensitivity to price changes. - It is not selected, indicating that the provided scenario does not consider both to be elastic.3. **D-Flat and D-Steep are both inelastic** - If both curves were inelastic, it would mean that quantities demanded for both goods are not significantly affected by price changes. - This option is not selected as it does not fit the described behaviors of D-Flat and D-Steep.4. **There is a bigger change in quantity to a change in price on D-Flat** - This statement indicates that D-Flat has greater elasticity compared to D-Steep, meaning consumers of D-Flat are more responsive to price changes. - This is confirmed as an accurate depiction of the demand curves.5. **An increase in price will cause a decrease in total revenue/expenditure when demand is inelastic** - Inelastic demand signifies that consumers are less responsive to price changes. - Hence, with inelastic demand, increasing the price may actually increase total revenue, as the quantity demanded doesn’t drop significantly. - This option, not being selected, implies it may be a less likely scenario in the given context.6. **An increase in price will cause an increase in total revenue/expenditure on D-Flat and a decrease on D-Steep** - This statement proposes that raising prices on the elastic D-Flat would increase total revenue, while for the inelastic D-Steep, it would lead to decreased revenue. - This scenario is conflicting with the understanding of elasticity; hence, it is not chosen.The correct analysis of the elasticity of D- ### Supply and Demand AnalysisIn the graphical analysis above, we examine the interaction between supply and demand within a market.#### Axes:- **Vertical Axis (P)**: Represents the price level.- **Horizontal Axis (Q)**: Represents the quantity.#### Supply and Demand Curves:- **Supply Curve (S)**: The red line, sloping upwards, indicates the relationship between price and the quantity supplied.- **Demand Curves**: There are two demand curves in this graph. - **D_Flat** (Flat Demand Curve): The upper blue line, which represents a demand curve with a more elastic demand. - **D_Steep** (Steep Demand Curve): The lower blue line, which represents a demand curve with a more inelastic demand.#### Equilibrium:- **Equilibrium Point (A)**: The point where the supply curve intersects with the demand curves. At this intersection, the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. - The equilibrium price is $P_1 = 10$. - The equilibrium quantity is $Q_1 = 100$.#### Price and Quantity Changes:- **Price Increase to $P_2 = 12$**: - Moving to a higher price level ($P_2$), we observe how the quantity demanded changes from equilibrium. - Corresponding points on the demand curves at $P_2$: - **Point B**: On the $D_Flat$ curve, the quantity demanded decreases to $Q_2 = 90$. - **Point C**: On the $D_Steep$ curve, the quantity demanded decreases more significantly to $Q_3 = 50$.These changes illustrate the impact of price changes on the quantity demanded, depending on the elasticity of the demand curve:- **Elastic Demand (D_Flat)**: Smaller change in quantity demanded with a price increase.- **Inelastic Demand (D_Steep)**: Larger change in quantity demanded with a price increase.This visual demonstration effectively shows the concepts of supply, demand, equilibrium, and elasticity in a market setting.

D-Flat is elastic and D-Steep in inelastic D-Flat and D-Steep are both elastic. D-Flat and D-Steep are both inelastic. There is a bigger change in quantity to a change in price on D-Flat An increase in price will cause a decreae in total revnue/Expenditure when demand is inelastic. An increase in price will cause an increase in Total Revenue/Expenditre on D-Flat and a decrease on D-Steep.

Exercise 3.13 —*** Challenging Question ✶✶✶. Two women, Anna and Bess, claim to be the legal owners of a diamond ring that - each claims - has great sentimental value. Neither of them can produce evidence of ownership and nobody else is staking a claim on the ring. Judge Sabio wants the ring to go to the legal owner, but he does not know which of the two women is in fact the legal owner. He decides to proceed as follows. First he announces a fine of $F > 0 and then asks Anna and Bess to play the following game. Move 1: Anna moves first. Either she gives up her claim to the ring (in which case Bess gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or she asserts her claim, in which case the game proceeds to Move 2. Move 2: Bess either accepts Anna's claim (in which case Anna gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or challenges her claim. In the latter case, Bess must put in a bid, call it B, and Anna must pay the fine of $F to Sabio. The game goes on to Move 3. Move…

Two travelers on a plane have identical luggage and each contains an identical plate of rare china. Both plates are worth the same amount and only the two travelers know their true value. The airline loses both bags. The travelers are informed that the airline is liable to compensate them only up to $300. In order to determine an honest appraisal of the value of the plates, each traveler is taken to a separate room and asked to write down
Tourism patterns are difficult to forecast; they normally vary from country to country and sometimes even between places quite close to each other. In Hong Kong, a survey asked 1,600 people their favorite Asian destination for a short holiday. The results were as follows: 43% go to China, 23% go to Thailand, 20% go to the Philippines, 5% go to Cambodia, and the rest choose other countries. The same survey has been carried out in Macau, China only 1 hour from Hong Kong by jet boat, and the results were as follows: 48%, China; 20%, Thailand; 22%, the Philippines; 3%, Cambodia; and the remaining, other destinations. Would you conclude that the patterns are the same in the two cities?

A few minutes ago, Joe Doe learned that his company was having a bad year and thus merit salary increases will be smaller than expected. His division’s budget has been set and so he knows that he will receive a salary increase of $400 over his present salary. Joe Doe has also been offered a transfer to another division in the company. He is unsure of the salary situation in the other division. However, his best information leads him to conclude that if he took the new job, there is a 60% chance that he would receive a salary increase of $600 over his present salary, and a 40% chance that he would receive only a $150 increase over his present salary. To summarize, Joe Doe can either stick with his current job and get a salary increase of $400, or take a transfer to a new job and get a salary increase of either $600 with a 60% probability, or $150 with a 40% probability.

In June 2015, Gallup conducted a poll of a random sample of 14802 adults to determine the well-being of people living in the United States. One question asked, "Did you exercise at least 30 minutes for 3 or more days in the past week?" In the survey, 57.3% of males and 42.7% of females responded yes to this question. Which of the following is true about this scenario?A. 57:3% and 42.7% are both statistiesB. 57.3% and 42.7% are both parameter.C. If we took another random sample of 14802 adults, we would expect to get the exact same results.
