Extract B (lines 2-3) states: 'a recent survey found that only a third of adults had used a library in the previous year, a significant fall since data collection began in 2005'. Explain two reasons why the demand for library services has fallen. Extract B: What has happened to the local library?Many years ago, a library was a place where you went to borrow a book or perhaps to findpeace and quiet to study. However, a recent survey found that only a third of adults had used alibrary in the previous year, a significant fall since data collection began in 2005. Reasons whyfewer people are using libraries include less free time, getting books from elsewhere, includingeBooks and preferring to use their leisure time for other activities. Changes in technology and 5lifestyles have caused many to question the purpose of the local library.Despite this, in the year 2014/15, there were more library visits than to the cinema, PremierLeague football matches and the top 10 UK tourist attractions combined. Libraries offer healthinformation, provide support for businesses and a venue for community events. They promotelifelong learning and help people to live healthier and happier lives. A recent study put the valueof using libraries frequently, in terms of 'life satisfaction', at £1359 per person per year. Manypeople in rural areas rely on mobile libraries, where large vehicles carrying a range of booksand other resources visit regularly.10In 2015, about 11% of the UK population lacked internet access. Library staff and volunteerscan help with online services and it is important that people have opportunities to develop newskills, which could also increase labour mobility.15In December 2016, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport published a plan for publiclibraries over the next five years. Their aim is to increase the use of libraries by raisingawareness of what they do. A more innovative approach may be needed. Closer links withother cultural organisations such as museums and schools, musical activities and talks by localauthors, could attract more users.20

Suppose Via Rail asked government authorities for permission to increase its commuter rates by 20 percent. The railroad argued that declining revenues made this rate increase essential. Opponents of the rate increase contended that the railroad's revenues would fall because of the rate hike. It can be concluded that: both groups felt that the demand was elastic but for different reasons. both groups felt that the demand was inelastic but for different reasons. the railroad felt that the demand for passenger service was inelastic and opponents of the rate increase felt it was elastic. the railroad felt that the demand for passenger service was elastic and opponents of the rate increase felt it was inelastic.
Use the following demand function to answer questions 3-4. Show all your work to receive full credit. Qpork= 5.2 – 1.47Ppork + 1.82Peef + 0.18Pchicken + 0.38/ Calculate the cross-price elasticity of pork demand with respect to beef if the price of pork is $3.78/lb., the price of beef is $6.15/1b., the price of chicken is $1.90/lb., disposable income is $48000 per capita, and the total quantity demanded of pork is 52 lbs. per capita. If the price of beef increases by 12%, how much would you expect the quantity demanded of pork to change (in lbs.)?
Page 2 3. In a study ("Price elasticity in the performing arts" by Kolhede, Gomez-Arias & Maximova 2023) researchers surveyed residents in one California county. They used responses to 28 questions about motivations to attend events to develop motivation factors and then clustered respondents into 3 segments based on their motivations. The authors estimated the performing arts event demand for each segment and calculated the demand elasticities at different prices and reported the following: Elasticities for the 3 segments with a $20 Admission Price were 0.317, 0.343, and 0.317 Elasticities for the 3 segments with a $60 Admission Price were 2.608, 3.269, and 2.590 Unitary Elasticity was at $41.50, $39.18, and $41.58 for the 3 segments Assume that the cost of event production is fixed (not related to attendance). As an economics expert, you are asked to help the performing arts group set ticket prices for next season. a. One committee of the performing arts group wanted to maximize…
Assume that in the market for credit cards there is some elasticity of supply and demand and that the equilibrium money price is 29%. Construct a market for credit cards showing the actual market price. Label initial supply and demand with subscript 1. Analyze the likely effect in the market for credit cards if state governments across the country impose a cap on credit card interest rate at 19%

QUESTION 5 When the wage was $15 per hour, a group of workers supplied 52 hours of work per week on average. The wage then increased to $25 per hour, and the same group of workers supplied 61 hours of work per week on average. What is the elasticity of labor supply for this group of workers? (please calculcate to 2 decimal places, make sure that you keep the sign correct)
