Consumers eating higher food costs The price of milk rose about 21% from July 2006 to July 2007, while the price of frozen orange juice increased 31%. At the same time, with higher gasoline prices, the demand for ethanol increased.

As people in China and India become richer, they are eating more beef and chicken and less rice and tofu-another source of higher food prices in the United States. Source: USA TODAY, September 6, 2007 Draw a curve to show the effect of the higher price of corn on the market for milk. Label it. Draw a point at the new equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity. 4.00 3.50 3.00- 2.50 2.00 1.50 Price (dollars per gallon) 2.50 S D 140 1.00- 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 Milk (thousands of gallons per day) >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question.

It is about travel method problem. You have been commissioned to estimate the demand curve for admission to EuroLand, an amusement park in France. To do this, you spend a day surveying visi tors to the park. Before doing this, you divide the area around the park into 10 zones with the distance from the park approximately constant within a zone. You ask each person you interview where they come from. Based on that information, and figures on annual attendance at the park, you are able to calculate the annual number of visitors from each zone. Your data are shown below: (table) Zone Distance from park (km) Zonal population Number of visitors 1 10 5,000 500 2 20 10,000 900 3 30 25,000 2,000 4 40 10,000 700 5 50 100,000 6,000 6 60 500,000 25,000 7 70 200,000 8,000 8 80 50,000 1,500 9 90 100,000 2,000 10 100 100,000 1,000 You note that admission to Euroland is 150 euros per person. you also calculate that transportation costs, including time costs, are…

The American Baker’s Association reports that annual sales of bakery goods last year rose 15 percent, driven by a 50 percent increase in the demand for bran muffins. Most of the increase was attributed to a report that diets rich in bran help prevent certain types of cancer. You are the manager of a bakery that produces and packages gourmet bran muffins, and you currently sell bran muffins in packages of three. However, as a result of this new report, a typical consumer’s inverse demand for your bran muffins is now P = 8 – 1.5Q. If your cost of producing bran muffins is C(Q) = 0.5Q, determine the optimal number of bran muffins to sell in a single package and the optimal package price.
