. Suppose that Brock raises its tuition by 30% to pay for higher professor salaries.2 An economics professor asks his students, “Due to the tuition increase, how many of you will transfer to another universiy or drop out?” One student out of every 2 says that he or she would transfer or drop out. Based on this information, the price elasticity of demand for education at this university is: (A) 1. (B) Elastic. (C) Inelastic. (D) Zero.
1. Optimal choice of capital Eleanor makes sweaters in her home. Starting with just some knitting needles and yarn, she was able to knit 60 sweaters per year. Now some local stores have expressed interest in her designs and offered to buy her sweaters for $10 each. This makes it worthwhile for her to invest in some capital; in particular, she could produce many more sweaters if she invested in one or more looms, as shown in the following table. Assume that Eleanor's sweater business is a perfectly competitive firm. Complete the following table by calculating the marginal physical product (MPP) of each loom and the marginal revenue product (MRP) of each loom. Quantity of Input (Looms) Output (Sweaters per year) MPP of Each Loom (Sweaters) MRP of Each Loom (Dollars) 0 1 2 3 4 5 60 110 150 184 213 238 50 40 34 29 25 If the rental price of a loom is $270 per year, Eleanor should use 500 400 340 290 250 Suppose the demand for sweaters is very elastic, while the demand for cigarettes is very…

Suppose that the supply and demand schedules for a local electric utility are as follows:Price 17 16 15 14 13 12 11Quantity supplied 9 7 5 3 1 - -Quantity demanded 3 4 5 6 7 8 9The price is in cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), and the quantity is millions of kilowatt hours. The utilitydoes not operate at prices less than 13 cents per kWh.(a) Using graph paper and a ruler, or a computer spreadsheet or presentation program, carefully graphand label the supply curve for electricity.(b) On the same graph, draw and label the demand curve for electricity.(c) What is the equilibrium price of electricity? The equilibrium quantity? Label this point on yourgraph.(d) At a price of 17 cents per kWh, what is the quantity supplied? What is the quantity demanded? Whatis the relationship between quantity supplied and quantity demanded? What term do economists useto describe this situation?(e) At a price of 14 cents per kWh, what is the relationship between quantity supplied and quantitydemanded? What…

FoisPas, a French restaurant in Westwood, has decided to increase the price of its Sunday brunch from $30 to $34. Following this price increase, the number of reservations on a typical Sunday dropped from 60 to 55. Which statement is correct? O FoisPas was initially maximizing revenues, as demand was unit-elastic at the initial price O The total costs faced of FoisPas on a typical Sunday must have increased for sure O The price increase led to a decrease in total revenues as demand was elastic at the initial price O FoisPas faces a horizontal demand curve O The price increase had a positive impact on total revenue as demand was inelastic at the initial price
